Kepler-186f is an exoplanet that orbits a star other than the Sun. Its star is the red dwarf Kepler-186. It is the first planet

to be discovered that orbits its star at a distance similar to Earth’s distance from the Sun. If Kepler-186f is approximately 5.4 x 1010 meters from Kepler-186, how long does it take for light from the star to reach the exoplanet? The speed of light is 3.0 x 108 m/s

Answer:

180seconds

Explanation:

According to the question, Kepler-186f is an exoplanet that orbits a star called kepler-186, other than the Sun.

Distance of the star (kepler-186) away from the planet is 5.4 x 10^10 meters

In order to calculate how long i.e. time, a light moving at an average speed of 3.0 x 10^8 m/s will get to the exoplanet from the star, we use;

Speed (m/s) = Distance (m) ÷ time (s)

Time = Distance/speed

Time = 5.4 x 10^10 ÷ 3.0 x 10^8

Time = 5.4/3.0 × 10^ (10-8)

Time = 1.8 × 10^2

Time = 180seconds.

Can you tell the difference between the original and the replicated strand
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Original strand is the old strand and replicated strand is new strand.

Explanation:

DNA is replicated by the semi-conservative way which means the new strand is replicated over the old strand and one DNA duplex has one new strand and one old strand. So the original strand is the old strand and the replicated strand is the strand that is synthesized over the original strand.

In DNA the replicated strand is made by adding nucleotides complementary to the opposite nucleotide present in the template or original strand. Adenine and thymine make complementary base pairing with each other and guanine and cytosine makes complementary base pairing with each other.

When a lunar eclipse happens, which would we not see: the sun or the moon?
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

the sun

Explanation:

The typical lunar eclipse happens when the Sun, Earth and moon are all aligned 180 degrees apart from each other in the sky. When this happens, the Earth casts a shadow onto the moon, so the Sun should not be visible at all if you can still see the moon.
