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

Answer:

Roles and responsibilities

Explanation:

Definition of safety plan:

"A Safety Plan is a written document that describes the process for identifying the physical and health hazards that could harm workers, <em>procedures to prevent accidents</em>, and steps to take when accidents occur. Written safety plans can be comprehensive, such as an injury and illness prevention program, or they can be specific to a particular activity, hazard, or piece of equipment. The written safety plan is your blueprint for keeping workers safe."

Alternative definition

"What is an OSHA Safety Plan? An OSHA Safety Plan is a written plan that describes the potential hazards in the workplace, <u><em>and the company policies</em></u>, controls, and <u><em>work practices</em></u> used to minimize those hazards."

elements of a safety plan:

Basic Safety Plan Elements

Policy or goals statement

<u><em>List of responsible persons</em></u>

Hazard identification

<em>Hazard controls and safe practices</em>

<em>Emergency and accident response</em>

Employee training and communication

<em>Recordkeeping</em>

I say roles and responsibilities because it makes sense that if it's your responsibility and possibly something that could be dangerous -- hence a safety plan --  you would have to sign it before working. I hope this helps!

A device employing a lens, shutter, and persistent light source that projects images from glass slides onto a flat white wall or cloth drape hung in the dark is image projection began with the MAGIC LANTERN

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The magic lantern works on the sliding runner technology. The image can be made larger in size and can be projected with the help of an optical device. When the technology of motion toy become older, this magic lantern is the modernized version of the motion toy technology. The modernization of the magic lantern was as an alternative of to motion-toy technology.

The photos and images that are taken can be increased in the size and projection can be made. These images can be enlarged in size by the help of a photographic images. this helps in image and also in taking photographs. This photographic image can be attached with Magic lantern. A long slide of glass helps in projecting the image on the walls or cloth drapes using magic lantern. This gives life to Shadows.

Because electricity and magnetism are so closely related, factors that affect one often affect the other.
xenn [34]

Answer:

The interactions of electricity and magnetism are difficult to explain in nontechnical terms.  This is primarily because one has to describe the interactions in terms of invisible "force fields" which shift, expand, contract, strengthen, weaken, and rotate in space, and these are very difficult to describe adequately in verbal terms.  In mathematical terms, coupled sets of three-dimensional vector differential equations are required, and these are also quite difficult to visualize.
