Answer:

A) 15.0 years

Explanation:

Due to the distance to the star system is in light-year units, we can compute the time by using:

t=\frac{d}{v}=\frac{14.4 l-y}{0.960}=15l-y

then, Rob will take to complete the trip about 15 light-years.

hope this helps!!

Two college teams, A and B, are playing a game of tug of war. Team A applies a force of 103 newtons, but the rope does not move
Kipish [7]
Given that the rope is not moving (acceleration is zero), by the second Law of Newton (F=m*a), the net force acting on the rope is zero.

Then, the force applied by the team B equals the force applied by the tema A: 103 N.

A gun shoots a bullet with a velocity of 500 m/s. The gun is aimed horizontally and fired from a height of 1.5 m. How far does t
MrMuchimi

The bullet travels a horizontal distance of 276.5 m

The bullet is shot forward with a horizontal velocity u_x. It takes a time <em>t</em> to fall a vertical distance <em>y</em> and at the same time travels a horizontal distance <em>x. </em>

The bullet's horizontal velocity remains constant since no force acts on the bullet in the horizontal direction.

The initial velocity of the bullet has no component in the vertical direction. As it falls through the vertical distance, it is accelerated due to the force of gravity.

Calculate the time taken for the bullet to fall through a vertical distance <em>y </em>using the equation,

y=u_yt+\frac{1}{2} gt^2

Substitute 0 m/s for u_y, 9.81 m/s²for <em>g</em> and 1.5 m for <em>y</em>.

y=u_yt+\frac{1}{2} gt^2\\ 1.5 m=(0m/s)t+\frac{1}{2} (9.81m/s^2)t^2\\ t=\sqrt{\frac{2(1.5m)}{9.81m/s^2} } =0.5530s

The horizontal distance traveled by the bullet is given by,

x=u_xt

Substitute 500 m/s for u_x and 0.5530s for t.

x=u_xt\\ =(500m/s)(0.5530s)\\ =276.5m

The bullet travels a distance of 276.5 m.
