Answer:
2200000 = 2.2E6 min for light from Proxima to reach earth
8.3 min from light sun to reach earth
2.2E6/8.3 = 2.56E5 times for light from Proxima
Proxima is about 256,000 times farther away than the sun
Since the sun is about 93,000,000 = 9.3E7 miles from earth
Proxima is then 9.3E7 * 2.56E5 = 2.4E13 miles away
Note - the speed of light is
3.00E8 m/s * 60 s/min / 1000 m/km = 1.8E7 km/min as given
Answer:
In physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. ... For instance, chemical energy is converted to kinetic energy when a stick of dynamite explodes.
