Answer:
a. 8.136 × 10¹³ km b. 2.669 × 10¹⁹ feet
Explanation:
a. What is this distance in kilometers?
Since Sirius A is 8.6 light years away from Earth and one light year = distance travelled by light in a year = 3 × 10⁸ m/ s × 365 days/year × 24 hr/day × 3600 s/hr = 9.4608 × 10¹⁵ m = 9.4608 × 10¹² km.
Then 8.6 light years = 8.6 × 1 light year
= 8.6 × 9.4608 × 10¹² km
= 81.363 × 10¹² km
= 8.1363 × 10¹³ km
≅ 8.136 × 10¹³ km
b. What is this distance in feet?
Since 1 meter = 3.28 feet,
8.6 light years = 8.1363 × 10¹² km
= 8136.3 × 10¹⁵ m
= 8136.3 × 10¹⁵ × 1 m
= 8136.3 × 10¹⁵ × 3.28 feet
= 26687.1 × 10¹⁵ feet
= 2.66871 × 10¹⁹ feet
≅ 2.669 × 10¹⁹ feet
An influence upon an oscillatory system that has the effect of reducing/restriction or preventing its oscillations. Damping is produced by processes that dissipate the energy stored in the oscillation.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Magnetic field lines outside of a permanent magnet always run from the north magnetic pole to the south magnetic pole. Therefore, the magnetic field lines of the earth run from the southern geographic hemisphere towards the northern geographic hemisphere.
Answer:
91.21
Explanation:
Kinetic energy =1/2 mv2 substitute the values I. E 1/2 *1 *4.5^2= 91.21
Answer: The correct answer is option (C).
Explanation:
As it is given in the problem, the path of a meteor passing Earth is affected by its gravitational force and falls to Earth's surface. Another meteor of the same mass falls to Jupiter's surface due to its gravitational force.
According to Newton's law of universal gravitational, every particle attracts every other particles in the universe with the gravitational force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
The Jupiter is the most massive planet in the solar system. It is also the largest planet in the solar system. The gravity of Jupiter on its surface is 2.4 times that of surface gravity of the Earth.
If a person weighs 100 pounds on the Earth then he would weigh 240 pounds on Jupiter.
Therefore, the correct answer is option (C), the meteor falls to Jupiter faster due to its greater gravitational force.
