Why does the plane, tied on a string onto the ceiling, move in a horizontal circle, and why doesn’t the plane move up and down?

Answer:

There’s a tangential velocity and centripetal force. The object moves in a circle because it’s falling towards the center of the circle (point directly under string) but the velocity is such that the object never gets closer to the center

The nearest star to the Earth is the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri, at a distance of 4.218 light-years. Convert this distance

alukav5142 [94]

Explanation:

The nearest star to the Earth is the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri, at a distance of 4.218 light-years.

Light year is the unit of distance covered by the heavenly bodies. 1 light year is equal to :

$1\ light\ year=3.72\times 10^{17}\ inches$

So, $4.218\ light\ year=4.218\times 3.72\times 10^{17}\ inches$

$4.218\ light\ year=1.56\times 10^{18}\ inches$

We need to convert 4.218 light-years barley corns.

Since, 1 barleycorn = 1/3 inch

$1\ inch=3\ barleycorn$

$1.56\times 10^{18}\ inches=3\times 1.56\times 10^{18}=4.68\times 10^{18}\ barleycorn$

So, the nearest star to the Earth is at a distance of $4.68\times 10^{18}\ barleycorn$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Vitek1552 [10]

$height=\frac{velocity^2}{2gravity}\\\\
velocity=15\frac{m}{s}\\\\
g=9,8\frac{m}{s^2}\\\\height=\frac{15^2}{2*9,8}=\frac{225}{19,6}\\\\
\boxed{height=11,48\ meters}$

Sonja [21]

If I remember correctly (from my studies long time ago) the layers are from the outer to the center:
SiAl : Silicon-Aluminum
SiMa : Silicon-Magnesium (although should be Mg)
NiFe : Nickel-Iron

The SiMa layer should have the lightest elements (Magnesium is lighter than Aluminum)
