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

The ball has 7.35 joules of potential energy at position B. At position A, all of the energy changes to kinetic energy. The velo
Lina20 [59]
I assume that the ball is stationary (v=0) at point B, so its total energy is just potential energy, and it is equal to 7.35 J. 
At point A, all this energy has converted into kinetic energy, which is:
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
And since K=7.35 J, we can find the velocity, v:
v= \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2 \cdot 7.35 J}{1.5 kg} }=3.1 m/s

Importance of a cell​
Anika [276]

Explanation:

Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things. The human body is composed of trillions of cells. They provide structure for the body, take in nutrients from food, convert those nutrients into energy, and carry out specialized functions.
