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.

What is the difference between cytology and histology
bulgar [2K]

Explanation:

what is the difference between cytology and histology

Histology involves the study of tissue and Cytology involves the study of cells, both of which are derived from various organs of the human body. The Histology laboratory is responsible for the preparation of tissue for diagnosis by Pathologists.

the formula relates the time, t, in seconds for a pendulum with the length, l, in feet, to make one full swing back and forth. w
Dovator [93]

This shows that the length of a pendulum that makes one full swing in 2.2 seconds is 392.71 feet.

Given the formula for calculating the length of the pendulum expressed as:

T= 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{32} } where:

L is the length of the pendulum

T is the period of the pendulum

Given the following parameters:

Period T = 2.2 seconds

Substitute the given parameters into the formula will give;

2.2=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{32} }\\ (\frac{22}{6.58} )^2 =\frac{L}{32} \\L=3.5032 \times 32\\L = 3.92.71 feet

So, this shows that the length of a pendulum that makes one full swing in 2.2 seconds is 392.71 feet.

Suppose Person A runs off the edge of the cliff at 2 m/s and Person B runs off the edge at 1 m/s. Which will hit the ground fart
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

<h2>Person A will hit a distance father</h2>

Explanation:

Based on the fact that the velocity of person A is more than that of person B, that is from the question, person A has a velocity of 2m/s and person B has a velocity of 1m/s, this clearly shows that person A has the tendency to hit a distance farther from the cliff than person B.

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

K = \frac{GMm}{2r}

T^2 = 4\pi^2(\frac{r^3}{GM})

Explanation:

As we know that for a satellite the force of gravitation is equal to the centripetal force

so we will have

F = \frac{GMm}{r^2}

\frac{mv^2}{r} = \frac{GMm}{r^2}

so we know that kinetic energy is given as

K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

so we have

K = \frac{GMm}{2r}

now for time period we know

T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}

from above expression of kinetic energy we have

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}

so we have

T = \frac{2\pi r}{\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}}

so square of time period is given as

T^2 = 4\pi^2(\frac{r^3}{GM})
