No. No danger, so don't worry. The NEAREST star outside the solar system is 4.3 light years away. There are no closer stars. Even if that one were moving toward us (it's not), in a straight line (it can't), at 1% of light speed (it can't), it wouldn't be here until 430 years from now.

I think that it's not possible. Because from what I read before in some book, it says that our star(the sun) has its own orbit around our galaxy, the milky way. And that our galaxy, has its own orbit around our universe. It might not be possible for our sun to crash into another because what I read, every star has their own solar system.

Your office has a 0.025 m^3 cylindrical container of drinking water. The radius of the container is about 13 cm. Required:a. Whe

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

a) 105935.7 Pa

b) 103630.35 Pa

Explanation:

The volume of the container = 0.025 m^3

The radius of the container = 13 cm = 0.13 m

We have to find the height of the tank

From the equation for finding the volume of the cylinder,

V = $\pi r^2h$

where

V is the volume of the cylinder

h is the height of the cylinder

substituting values, we have

0.025 = 3.142 x $0.13^2$ x h

0.025 = 0.0531h

h = 0.025/0.0531 = 0.47 m

Pressure at the bottom of the tank P = ρgh

where

ρ is the density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

h is the depth of water which is equal to the height of the tank

substituting values, we have

P = 1000 x 9.81 x 0.47 = 4610.7 Pa

atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa

therefore, the pressure in the tank bottom above atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa + 4610.7 Pa = 105935.7 Pa

b) For half way down the container, depth of water will be = 0.47/2 = 0.235 m

pressure P = 1000 x 9.81 x 0.235 = 2305.35 Pa

This pressure above atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa + 2305.35 Pa = 103630.35 Pa

A 0.46-kg cord is stretched between two supports, 7.2 m apart. When one support is struck by a hammer, a transverse wave travels

Kryger [21]

Answer:

T = 6.0 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of the cord = 0.46 Kg

length of the supports = 7.2 m

time taken to travel = 0.74 s

tension in the chord = ?

using formula for tension calculation

$T = \dfrac{v^2.m}{l}$

$v = \dfrac{l}{s}$

$v = \dfrac{7.2}{0.74}$

v = 9.73 m/s

now, calculation of tension

$T = \dfrac{9.73^2\times 0.46}{7.2}$

T = 6.0 N

The tension in the cord is equal to 6.0 N.

The stars, Rigel and Betelgeuse, are both found in the constellation, Orion. Rigel is a blue supergiant, and Betelgeuse is a red

sattari [20]

Answer: a

Explanation: The color of a star is linked to its surface temperature. The hotter the star, the shorter the wavelength of light it will emit. The hottest ones are blue or blue-white, which are shorter wavelengths of light. Cooler ones are red or red-brown, which are longer wavelengths.

Compared to water, most metals have low specific heats. true or false

Alchen [17]

Yes that's a true statement. That's why grandmother put a hot water bottle to warm up her bed, and not a hot bar of steel or lead.

How long does it take an airplane to fly 5000 m if it maintains a speed of 240 meters per second?

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

20 5/6 sec

Explanation:

To find the solution we divide 5000 by 240

However, when you see a problem, always try to simplify

5000/240=500/24=250/12=125/6

Now the division is much easier
