The nearest star to the Earth is the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri, at a distance of 4.218 light-years. Convert this distance

alukav5142 [94]

Explanation:

The nearest star to the Earth is the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri, at a distance of 4.218 light-years.

Light year is the unit of distance covered by the heavenly bodies. 1 light year is equal to :

$1\ light\ year=3.72\times 10^{17}\ inches$

So, $4.218\ light\ year=4.218\times 3.72\times 10^{17}\ inches$

$4.218\ light\ year=1.56\times 10^{18}\ inches$

We need to convert 4.218 light-years barley corns.

Since, 1 barleycorn = 1/3 inch

$1\ inch=3\ barleycorn$

$1.56\times 10^{18}\ inches=3\times 1.56\times 10^{18}=4.68\times 10^{18}\ barleycorn$

So, the nearest star to the Earth is at a distance of $4.68\times 10^{18}\ barleycorn$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

A stone is thrown vertically into the air at an initial velocity of 96 ft/s. On Mars, the height s (in feet) of the stone above

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

240 ft

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 96 ft/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration = 12 m/s² on Mars 32 ft/s² on Earth negative due to upward direction

Mars

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=96\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times -12\times t^2\\\Rightarrow s=96t-6t^2\ ft$

Earth

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=96\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times -32\times t^2\\\Rightarrow s=96t-16t^2\ ft$

Differentiating the first equation with respect to time we get

$\frac{ds}{dt}=96-12t$

Equating with zero

$0=96-12t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{96}{12}=8\ s$

Differentiating the second equation with respect to time we get

$\frac{ds}{dt}=96-32t$

Equating with zero

$0=96-32t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{96}{32}=3\ s$

Applying the time taken to the above equations, we get

$s=96t-6t^2\ ft\\\Rightarrow s=96\times 8-6\times 8^2\\\Rightarrow s=384$

$s=96t-16t^2\\\Rightarrow s=96\times 3-16\times 3^2\\\Rightarrow s=144$

Difference in height = 384-144 = 240 ft

The stone will travel 240 ft higher on Mars

Find the position of the center of mass of the system of the sun and Jupiter? (Since Jupiter is more massive than the rest of th

8090 [49]

Answer:

$r_{cm} = 0.074 m$ from the position of the center of the Sun

Explanation:

As we know that mass of Sun and Jupiter is given as

$M_s = 1.98 \times 10^{30} kg$

$M_j = 1.89 \times 10^{27} kg$

distance between Sun and Jupiter is given as

$r = 7.78 \times 10^{11} m$

now let the position of Sun is origin and position of Jupiter is given at the position same as the distance between them

so we will have

$r_{cm} = \frac{M_s r_1 + M_j r_2}{M_s + M_j}$

$r_{cm} = \frac{1.98 \times 10^{30} (0) + (1.89 \times 10^{27})(7.78 \times 10^{11})}{1.98 \times 10^{30} + 1.89 \times 10^{27}}$

$r_{cm} = 0.074 m$ from the position of the center of the Sun

g The magnetic force on a charged particle A. depends on the sign of the charge on the particle. B. depends on the velocity of t

Leona [35]

Answer:

E) is described by all of these

Explanation:

The magnetic force on a charged particle is expressed as:

F = qv * B = qvBsinθ

Where,

q = charge on particle

θ = angle between the magnetic field and the particle velocity.

v = velocity of the particle

B = magnitude of field vector

From here, we could denote that magnetic force, F depends on charge on particle, velocity of particle, magnitude of field vector.

The magnetic force on a charged particle is at right angles to both the velocity of the particle. The magnetic force and magnetic field in a charged particle are perpendicular to each other, the right hand rule is used to determine the direction of force.

The correct option is E.
