Represent the following sentence as an algebraic expression, where "a number" is the

The Whirlpool galaxy is about 30 million light-years away. If you were in a spaceship that could travel at half of the speed of

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

51.96 years

2) 30 million of years

Explanation:

First we must know the travel time of the ship seen from the earth. The spaceship travels at half the speed of light, this means that the amount of time the spacecraft must spend to travel the same distance is double compared to the light, that is 60 years.

Now due to the speed of the ship, we must take into account relativistic effects, such as time dilation, this is given by:

$t'=\frac{t}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}$

Where t is the time measured in the ship, t' is the time measured in the earth, inertially moving with velocity v.

Rewriting for t:

$t=t'\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}\\t=60\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.5c)^2}{c^2}}\\t=60\sqrt{1-0.5^2}\\t=51.96 years$

This is the amount of time it would take you reach the Whirlpool galaxy in the spaceship.

2) a light year is a measure of distance, which indicates the kilometers that light travels in a year. Thus, the light emitted by Whirlpool galaxy takes 30 million of years reaches our planet.

Cells that remain as sources of other cells are called

inna [77]

They are called stem cells. This cells are undifferentiated which means it can specialize in other types when it receives the right stimuli. They can divide through mitoses and become more stem cell or become a bone, muscle, blood cell, etc.

They can have 2 origins: embryos or some human tissue; their function is to regenerate or substitute damaged cells

James and John dive from an overhang into the lake below. James simply drops straight down from the edge. John takes a running s

liraira [26]

Answer:

Both of them reach the lake at the same time.

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

Vertical motion of James : -

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Acceleration, a = g

Displacement, s = h

Substituting,

s = ut + 0.5 at²

h = 0 x t + 0.5 x g x t²

$t_{James}=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

Vertical motion of John : -

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Acceleration, a = g

Displacement, s = h

Substituting,

s = ut + 0.5 at²

h = 0 x t + 0.5 x g x t²

$t_{John}=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

So both times are same.

Both of them reach the lake at the same time.

Explain why the amplitude of the wave did not change when you increased the frequency of the stimulation. how well did the resul

barxatty [35]

The amplitude did not change when the recurrence was expanded on the grounds that the long headstrong time of the heart forestalls adjustment. It is the most extreme removal or separation moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its balance position. It is equivalent to the one-a large portion of the length of the vibration way.

one of the four wave interactions is very important to how plants use light to grow. guess which interaction this is

KiRa [710]

The photosynthetic wave interaction between visible light and a photosensitive part of a plant is very important t how plants use light to grow.
The frequency range and intensity levels of this light, I don't know.

Maybe the above ???
