Answer:

Betelgeuse is 640 light years away from earth.

Explanation:

A light-year is an astronomical unit to measure the distance the light travels in a calendar year.

If the light from a star takes 640 years to reach us, then that star its 640ly away from us.

Betelgeuse has been labeled as a Variant Star, which means that its brightness can fluctuate over the course of years, this has made difficult for astronomers to measure the exact distance of the star. Right now the star is estimated to be around 613 and 881ly away from earth, although, for the sake of your second question, we will take 640 years as our estimated value.

In 1380 (640 years ago) the Battle of Kulikovo took place. A battle of remarkable importance to Russian history, in which the Russian army, led by Prince Dmitry of Moscow, defeated the Mongol army, defining a turning point in the Mongol dominance, and setting the bases for what Russia is today.

Question: Is a flame matter?<br> .<br> Claim: (Write a statement that answers the question)
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. The flame itself is a mixture of gases (vaporized fuel, oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water vapor, and many other things) and so is matter. <em><u>The light produced by the flame is energy, not matter.</u></em>

The magnitude of electrical force between a pair of charged particles is ____ as much when the particles are moved half as far a
Gnesinka [82]

The magnitude of the electrical force between a pair of charged particles is 4 Times as much when the particles are moved half as far apart.

This can be easily understood by Columb's law,

F_{new} = \frac{kQ_{1}Q_{2}}{r^{2}}

which state's that the amount of electrical force experienced by two charged particles is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

∴ \frac{F_{new} }{F_{old} } = \frac{Distance_{new}^{2}  }{Distance_{old}^{2}  }

Now, we know the new distance is half the original distance,

F_{new} = \frac{kQ_{1}Q_{2}}{\frac{r}{2}^{2} } \\F_{new} = 4\frac{kQ_{1}Q_{2}}{r^{2}}

F_{new} = 4F_{old}

The electrical force of attraction or electrostatic force of attraction between two charged particles refers to the amount of attractive or repulsive force that exists between the two charges. This can be calculated by Columb's Law.

A charged particle in physics is a particle that has an electric charge. It might be an ion, such as a molecule or atom having an excess or shortage of electrons in comparison to protons. The same charge is thought to be shared by an electron, a proton, or another primary particle.

What is the Sl unit for speed
Akimi4 [234]

Answer: meter per second

Explanation: meter per second

Speed has the dimensions of distance divided by time. The SI unit of speed is the meter per second, but the most common unit of speed in everyday usage is the kilometer per hour or, in the US and the UK, miles per hour. For air and marine travel the knot is commonly used.
