Astronaut Rob leaves Earth in a spaceship at a speed of 0.960crelative to an observer onEarth. Rob's destination is a star syste

m 14.4 light-years away (one light-year is the distance lighttravels in one year). Relative to a frame of reference that is fixed with respect to Earth, how longdoes it take Rob to complete the trip?

To solve this problem we will use the mathematical definition of the light years in metric terms, from there, through the kinematic equations of motion we will find the distance traveled as a function of the speed in proportion to the elapsed time. Therefore we have to

1Ly =9.4605284*10^{15}m \rightarrow 'Ly'means  Light Year

Then

14.4Ly = 1.36231609*10^{17} m

If we have that

v= \frac{x}{t} \rightarrow t = \frac{x}{t}

Where,

v = Velocity

x = Displacement

t = Time

We have that

t = \frac{1.36231609*10^{17}}{0.96c} \rightarrow c= Speed of light

t = \frac{1.36231609*10^{17}}{0.96(3*10^8)}

t= 454105363 s (\frac{1hour}{3600s})

t= 126140 hours(\frac{1day}{24hours})

t= 5255.85 days(\frac{1 year}{365days})

t = 14.399 years

Therefore will take 14.399 years

Describe the structure of an atom
kvv77 [185]
The structure of an atom is in the middle of an atom has the neutron (nucleus) which has no charge around the neutron is the protons which has a positive charge and the ones that orbit around the atom is the electrons which has a negative charge in it.  The number of protons is call the Atomic Number. Protons have a relative charge of +1 and the electron have a relative charge of -1.
