Você é um comandante de uma espaçonave. Sua missão é chegar até Alfa Centauro em cinco anos. A distância do Sol até Alfa Centaur

Deffense [45]

Answer:

The spaceship will get to Alpha Centaur in time

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question in English is</em></u>

You're the commander of a spaceship. Your mission is to reach Alpha Centaur in five years. The distance from the sun to Alpha Centaur is 2.5 x 10^13 miles. The distance from Earth to Sun is approximately 9.3 x 10^7

miles. Your spaceship can travel at the speed of light. You know that light can travel a distance of 5.88 x 10^12 miles in a year. Can you get to Alpha Centaur in time?

step 1

Find the time it takes for the spaceship to travel from Earth to the Sun

The distance from the Earth to Sun is equal to

$9.3*10^7\ miles$

The spaceship can travel at the speed of light

The light can travel a distance of $5.88*10^{12}\ miles$ in a year

so

using a proportion

$\frac{5.88*10^{12}\ miles}{1\ year}=\frac{9.3*10^7\ miles}{x}\\\\x=(9.3*10^7)/5.88*10^{12}\\\\x=1.58*10^{-5} \ years$

This time is very small in years

Convert to minutes

$1.58*10^{-5} \ years=1.58*10^{-5} (365)(24)(60)=8.3\ min$

step 2

Find the time it takes for the spaceship to travel from the Sun to Alpha Centaur

The distance from the the Sun to Alpha Centaur is equal to

$2.5*10^{13}\ miles$

The spaceship can travel at the speed of light

The light can travel a distance of $5.88*10^{12}\ miles$ in a year

so

using a proportion

$\frac{5.88*10^{12}\ miles}{1\ year}=\frac{2.5*10^{13}\ miles}{x}\\\\x=(2.5*10^{13})/5.88*10^{12}\\\\x=4.25\ years$

$4.25\ years< 5\ years$

therefore

The spaceship will get to Alpha Centaur in time

You were testing orange juice recipes it’s recipe calls for orange juice concentrate and water mix one has 4 cups of concentrate

Sav [38]

Answer:

First mixed is the most orangey.

Step-by-step explanation:

First:

$Orange\ juice\ concentrate=4\ cups\\\\Water=6\ cups\\\\Tota\ content=4+6=10\ cups\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{Orange\ juice\ concentrate}{Total\ amount}\times 100\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{4}{10}\times 100=40\%$

Second:

$Orange\ juice\ concentrate=1\ cups\\\\Water=3\ cups\\\\Tota\ content=1+3=4\ cups\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{Orange\ juice\ concentrate}{Total\ amount}\times 100\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{1}{4}\times 100=25\%$

Third:

$Orange\ juice\ concentrate=2\ cups\\\\Water=4\ cups\\\\Tota\ content=2+4=6\ cups\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{Orange\ juice\ concentrate}{Total\ amount}\times 100\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{2}{6}\times 100=33.33\%$
