Answer:

1.99 parsecs.

Explanation:

We have been given that the most recently discovered system close to Earth is a pair of brown dwarfs known as Luhman 16. It has a distance of 6.5 light-years.

We know that one light year equals to 0.306601 parsecs. To convert 6.5 light-years to parsecs, we will multiply 0.306601 by 6.5.

6.5\text{ Light-years}=6.5\times 0.306601\text{ Parsecs}

6.5\text{ Light-years}=1.9929065\text{ Parsecs}

6.5\text{ Light-years}\approx 1.99\text{ Parsecs}

Therefore, Luhman 16 is approximately 1.99 parsecs away from the Earth.

mixer [17]
The components of the resultant will be: (18, 12)

In order to find the magnitude you have to apply the Pythagorean theorem:
√(18² + 12²) = √468 = 21.6
Therefore, the magnitude of the resultant vector is 21.6

The direction is given by the formula:
α = tan⁻¹(v_y / v_x)
   = <span>tan⁻¹(12/18)
   = 33.7°
Therefore, the direction will be 33.7° from the x-axis.</span>
