Answer:
Because the energy is waning
Explanation: hope this helps
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

Explanation:
<h3>a) Mass of the continent</h3>
Density
is defined as a relation between mass
and volume
:
(1)
Where:
is the average density of the continent
is the mass of the continent
is the volume of the continent, which can be estimated is we assume it as a a slab of rock 5300 km on a side and 37 km deep:

Finding the mass:
(2)
(3)
(4) This is the mass of the continent
<h3>b) Kinetic energy of the continent</h3>
Kinetic energy
is given by the following equation:
(5)
Where:
is the mass of the continent
is the velocity of the continent
(6)
(7) This is the kinetic energy of the continent
<h3>c) Speed of the jogger</h3>
If we have a jogger with mass
and the same kinetic energy as that of the continent
, we can find its velocity by isolating
from (5):
(6)
Finally:
This is the speed of the jogger
F=K*X,
F=M*a
M*a=K*X
2.5*9.81=K*0.0276
24.525=K*0.0276
24.525/0.0276=K
K= 888.6 N/m ---- force constant
assuming 2.5 refers to the new extension, just divide F/ 0.025
to get
981N/m
