B. There is not enough matter in space to transmit sound waves.

Explanation:

Sound waves are created when there is a vibration of the particles in a medium. For example, our voice is an example of sound wave: when we speak, the molecules of air around us start vibrating, producing regions of higher concentration of molecules (called compressions) and of lower concentration (called rarefactions). It is clear from this definition that sound waves can only propagate if there is a physical medium: such as a gas, a liquid or a solid, but sound waves cannot propagate through empty space.

Since space is almost empty, the correct choice is

B. There is not enough matter in space to transmit sound waves.

Barnard’s Star is a red dwarf. It is located 5.9 light years from Earth. (One light year is the same as 9.46 trillion kilometers
mote1985 [20]
A star is located 5.9 light years from Earth.
We know that : 1 light year = 9.46  trillion kilometers.
We will calculate the distance in trillion kilometers multiplying the number of light years by 9.46:
5.9 * 9.46 = 55.814
Answer: The distance is 55.814 trillion km.

<h2>Answers:</h2><h2 /><h2>a) Arrow B</h2><h2>b) Arrow E</h2>

Explanation:

Refraction is a phenomenon in which a wave (the light in this case) bends or changes its direction <u>when passing through a medium with a refractive index different from the other medium.</u>  Where the Refractive index is a number that describes how fast light propagates through a medium or material.  

According to this, if we observe the rays  A an D passing throgh the biconcave lens, we will have two mediums:

1) The air

2)The material of the biconcave lens

This two mediums have different refractive indexes, hence the rays will change the direction.

-For the incident ray A, the corresponding refractive ray is B, because is the ray that bends after passing throgh the lens

-For the incident ray D, the refracted ray is E following the same principle.

The instantaneous speed of a particle moving along one straight line is v(t) = ate−6t, where the speed v is measured in meters p
beks73 [17]

Answer:

v_max = (1/6)e^-1 a

Explanation:

You have the following equation for the instantaneous speed of a particle:

v(t)=ate^{-6t}   (1)

To find the expression for the maximum speed in terms of the acceleration "a", you first derivative v(t) respect to time t:

\frac{dv(t)}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}[ate^{-6t}]=a[(1)e^{-6t}+t(e^{-6t}(-6))]  (2)

where you have use the derivative of a product.

Next, you equal the expression (2) to zero in order to calculate t:

a[(1)e^{-6t}-6te^{-6t}]=0\\\\1-6t=0\\\\t=\frac{1}{6}

For t = 1/6 you obtain the maximum speed.

Then, you replace that value of t in the expression (1):

v_{max}=a(\frac{1}{6})e^{-6(\frac{1}{6})}=\frac{e^{-1}}{6}a

hence, the maximum speed is v_max = ((1/6)e^-1)a
