The closest star to our solar system is Alpha Centauri, which is 4.12 × 10^16 m away. How long would it take light from Alpha Ce

ntauri to reach our solar system if the speed of light is 3.00 × 10^8 m/s? (Provide an answer in both seconds and in years.)
(According to the textbook the answer is 4.35 years, i'm just not sure how to get there as I keep getting a different answer)

Time = (distance) / (speed)

Time = (4.12x10^16 m) / (3 x10^8 m/s)

Time = 1.37 x 10^8 seconds

Divide the seconds by 86,400 to get days. Then divide the days by 365 to get years.

Time = about 4.35 years

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The maximum emf is \epsilon_{max}= 26.8 V

The emf induced at t = 1.00 s is \epsilon = 24.1V

The maximum rate of change of magnetic flux is   \frac{d \o}{dt}|_{max}  =26.8V

Explanation:

    From the question we are told that

        The number of turns is N = 44 turns

          The length of the coil is  l = 15.0 cm = \frac{15}{100} = 0.15m

          The width of the coil is  w = 8.50 cm =\frac{8.50}{100} =0.085 m

          The magnetic field is  B = 745 \ mT

          The angular speed is w = 64.0 rad/s

Generally the induced emf is mathematically represented as

        \epsilon = \epsilon_{max} sin (wt)

 Where \epsilon_{max} is the maximum induced emf and this is mathematically represented as

            \epsilon_{max} = N\ B\ A\ w

Where \o is the magnetic flux

            N is the number of turns

             A is the area of the coil which is mathematically evaluated as

             A = l *w

        Substituting values

           A = 0.15 * 0.085

               = 0.01275m^2

substituting values into the equation for  maximum induced emf

         \epsilon_{max} = 44* 745 *10^{-3} * 0.01275 * 64.0

                 \epsilon_{max}= 26.8 V

 given that the time t = 1.0sec

substituting values into the equation for induced emf  \epsilon = \epsilon_{max} sin (wt)

      \epsilon = 26.8 sin (64 * 1)

        \epsilon = 24.1V

   The maximum induced emf can also be represented mathematically as

              \epsilon_{max} = \frac{d \o}{dt}|_{max}

  Where  \o is the magnetic flux and \frac{d \o}{dt}|_{max} is the maximum rate at which magnetic flux changes the value of the maximum rate of change of magnetic flux is

         \frac{d \o}{dt}|_{max}  =26.8V

La tension que se transmite en la cuerda BD es de 75 lb. Calcula el momento de fuerza generada por la cuerda respecto al punto C
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Mc = 1920[lb*in]

Explanation:

Para poder solucionar este problema debemos realizar un análisis estático, por tal motivo lo primero es realizar un diagrama de cuerpo libre con las respectivas fuerzas actuando sobre la barra ABC. DE igual manera calcular la geometría de la configuración mostrada.

El diagrama de cuerpo libre se puede ver en la imagen adjunta, con la solución de este problema.

Lo primero es determinar el angulo t, el cual por medio de las propiedades del triangulo rectángulo se puede determinar.

Con este angulo (t) ya determinado, fijamos la atención en el triangulo BCD, este triangulo no es rectángulo, pero por medio de la ley de senos podemos determinar el angulo omega.

Después de determinar el angulo omega, restamos el angulo (t) para poder determinar el angulo (a).

Seguidamente realizamos una sumatoria de momentos alrededor del punto C, utilizado las respectivas fuerzas con los ángulos descompuestos.

El momento en el punto C es de 1920 [Lb*in].

Nota: ya que no se menciona la fuerza en el punto A, esta se desprecia y no se tiene en cuenta en los calculos. En la imagen adjunta se puede ver el procedimiento desarrollado.

____________ is the unit that measures the pressure or force that pushes the flow of electrons forward through a conductor.
velikii [3]

Volt is the unit that measures the pressure or force that pushes the flow of electrons forward through a conductor.

When there is a circuit having a cell / battery , that cell/battery forms an electric field due to difference in voltages , and set a voltage of value equals to the difference in the voltage of two end of that cell/ battery . Because of which a electric field got set up in the conductor , which pushes electron to move inside the conductor . Unit of voltage is volt .

VOLT - A unit of electrical pressure (or electromotive force) which causes current to flow in a circuit. One volt is the amount of pressure required to cause one ampere of current to flow against one ohm of resistance. VOLTAGE - That force which is generated to cause current to flow in an electrical circuit.

Voltage is the pressure from an electrical circuit's power source that pushes charged electrons (current) through a conducting loop, enabling them to do work such as illuminating a light. In brief, voltage = pressure, and it is measured in volts (V).

What is the thermal energy of an object
9966 [12]
Thermal energy is an example of kinetic energy<span>, as it is due to the motion of particles, with motion being the key. Thermal energy results in an object or a system having a temperature that can be measured. Thermal energy can be transferred from one object or system to another in the form of heat.</span>
