To gather more information and details on the soil
You will need to turn this into scientific notation, so:
1.176 × 10^1 cm^2
To two significant figures means to two digits so since 7 is greater than 5, you will need to round up.
Final answer is:
1.2×10^1 cm^2
Answer:
100J
Explanation:
Kinetic energy=1/2mv^2
Kinetic energy=(1/2 x 8)x5^2
Kinetic energy=4x25
Kinetic energy=100
100J
Answer:
2200000 = 2.2E6 min for light from Proxima to reach earth
8.3 min from light sun to reach earth
2.2E6/8.3 = 2.56E5 times for light from Proxima
Proxima is about 256,000 times farther away than the sun
Since the sun is about 93,000,000 = 9.3E7 miles from earth
Proxima is then 9.3E7 * 2.56E5 = 2.4E13 miles away
Note - the speed of light is
3.00E8 m/s * 60 s/min / 1000 m/km = 1.8E7 km/min as given
