E                  S                                                               *

The "E" represents Earth, "S" represent Sun, and the "*" represents the nearest star(which is Proxima Centauri).

The main thing to worry about here is units, so ill label everything out.
D'e,s'(Distance between earth and sun) = .<span>00001581 light years
D'e,*'(Distance between earth and Proxima) = </span><span>4.243 light years

Now this is where it gets fun, we need to put all the light years into centimeters.(theres alot)
In one light year, there are </span>9.461 * 10^17 centimeters.(the * in this case means multiplication) or 946,100,000,000,000,000 centimeters.

To convert we multiply the light years we found by the big number.
D'e,s'(Distance between earth and sun) = 1.496 * 10^13 centimeters<span>
D'e,*'(Distance between earth and Proxima) = </span><span>4.014 * 10^18 centimeters
</span>
Now we scale things down, we treat 1.496 * 10^13 centimeters as a SINGLE centimeter, because that's the distance between the earth and the sun. So all we have to do is divide (4.014 * 10^18 ) by (<span>1.496 * 10^13 ).
Why? because that how proportions work.

As a result, you get a mere 268335.7 centimeters.

To put that into perspective, that's only about 1.7 miles

A lot of my numbers came from google, so they are estimations and are not perfect, but its hard to be on really large scales.</span>

What is the difference between a general and a specific tolerance, and how can you tell the difference on a drawing?
Gnesinka [82]
<span>During the reading of a blueprint, a general tolerance pertains to all dimensions that are not independently identified. All tolerances are +\- .030. General tolerances are mostly found in the blueprint’s set of information. Let’s say for example, a compact tolerance is required, then a specific tolerance is considered for specific areas of the blueprint. These kinds of tolerances are commonly found along the affected area.</span>

A motorcycle is moving at 30 m/s when the rider applies the brakes, giving the motorcycle a constant deceleration. During the 3.
shutvik [7]

Answer:

The motorcycle travelled 69.73 m during these 3.1 s.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the distance that the motorcycle travelled we first need to obtain the acceleration rate that was used to brake the vehicle. We do that by using the following formula:

a = (V_final - V_initial)/(t) = (15 - 30)/(3.1) = -4.84 m/s^2

The distance is given by the following formula:

S = (V_final^2 - V_initial^2)/(2*a)

S = (15^2 - 30^2)/[2*(-4.84)] = (225 - 900)/(-9.68) = -675/(-9.68) = 69.73 m

The motorcycle travelled 69.73 m during these 3.1 s.
