a) 0.321 ly
b) 0.321 light years is not far in astronomical terms. Alien life would need to transmit at tremendous power in order for their radio transmissions to be detectable. Their radio signal also needs to be stronger than background noise in order to be distinguishable. Therefore it is unlikely that radio transmissions from alien life will ever be detected.
Answer:
85.5 km/h
Explanation:
= time interval for first phase = 14 min = 
h = 0.233 h
= time interval for second phase = 46 min = 
h = 0.767 h
= average speed for the entire trip = 74 km/h
= average speed in first phase = 36 km/h
= average speed in second phase
= distance traveled in first phase
= distance traveled in first phase
average speed is given as
km/h
Answer:
a= -0.86 m/s²
The negative sign shows that ball down the ground or moving down
Explanation:
Vf² - Vo² = 2gS
where
Vf = velocity of clay as it hits the ground
Vo = initial velocity of clay = 0
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2 (constant)
S = distance travelled by clay = 15 m
Substituting appropriate values,
Vf² - 0 = 2(9.8)(15)
Vf = 17.15 m/sec.
Formula to use is,
V - Vf = aT
where
V = velocity of clay when it stops = 0
Vf = 17.15 m/sec (as determined above)
a = acceleration
T = 20 ms
Put the values to find acceleration
a=(V-Vf)/T
a=(0-17.15)/20
a= -0.86 m/s²
The negative sign shows that ball down the ground
Volume = mass / density
Volume = 20 / 7.87
Volume = 2.54 (2 s.f)
Answer:
Continental drift theory describes the long term effect of plate tectonics.
Explanation:
The long term result of plate tectonic movement is the continental drift. The continents of Earth lay on tectonic plates, that are in motion and interaction via plate tectonics. The drift of the Earths continent is an ongoing process evident in the rift valleys and seafloor spreading zones.
The theory that the Earth's continents are dynamic and have drifted relative to each other is known as continental drift which correlates with the theory of plate tectonics.
Every year, the Earth's outer shell plates are displaced by a small amount due to the heat coming from the Earths interior via convection currents.
