Answer:

Time = 6.243 years = (1.97 × 10⁸) s

Explanation:

Speed = (Distance)/(Time)

Time = (Distance)/(Speed)

Distance = 4.37 light years = 4.37 × c × years

Time = (4.37 c.years)/(0.7c)

Time = 6.243 years = (1.97 × 10⁸) s

Hope this Helps!!!

A submarine is 2.84 102 m horizontally from shore and 1.00 102 m beneath the surface of the water. A laser beam is sent from the
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

468 m

Explanation:

So the building and the point where the laser hit the water surface make a right triangle. Let's call this triangle ABC where A is at the base of the building, B is at the top of the building, and C is where the laser hits the water surface. Similarly, the submarine, the projected submarine on the surface and the point where the laser hit the surface makes a another right triangle CDE. Let D be the submarine and E is the other point.

The length CE is length AE - length AC = 284 - 234 = 50 m

We can calculate the angle ECD:

tan(\hat{ECD}) = \frac{ED}{EC} = \frac{100}{50} = 2

\hat{ECD} = tan^{-1} 2 = 63.43^o

This is also the angle ACB, so we can find the length AB:

tan(\hat{ACB}) = \frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{AB}{234}

2 = \frac{AB}{234}

AB = 2*234 = 468 m

So the height of the building is 468m

A Parallel circuit has certain characteristics and basic rules: A parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to flow through. Voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit. The sum of the currents through each path is equal to the total current that flows from the source.

What does frequency mean in science
matrenka [14]

There's nothing mysterious about it at all. "Frequency" simply means
"often-ness" ... how often or how frequently something happens.

-- The frequency of traditional meals is 3 per day.
-- The frequency of an equinox is 2 per year.
-- The frequency of my sleeping really late is 1 per week.
-- The frequency of my intense desire to sleep late is 30 per month.
etc.

-- The standard unit of frequency in the SI system is "per second".
The special name for that unit is "Hertz".  (Hz)
