a) 0.321 ly
b) 0.321 light years is not far in astronomical terms. Alien life would need to transmit at tremendous power in order for their radio transmissions to be detectable. Their radio signal also needs to be stronger than background noise in order to be distinguishable. Therefore it is unlikely that radio transmissions from alien life will ever be detected.
Answer:
The proton gradient produced by proton pumping during the electron transport chain is used to synthesize ATP. Protons flow down their concentration gradient into the matrix through the membrane protein ATP synthase, causing it to spin (like a water wheel) and catalyze conversion of ADP to ATP.
Explanation:
Answer:
3 times louder
Explanation:
The Loudness in decibel Db L = 10㏒(I/I₀) where I = sound intensity level and I₀ = threshold of hearing = 10⁻¹² W/m².
Now, for Jessica, I₁ = sound intensity level of Jessica's music = 10⁻⁹
and I₂ = sound intensity level of Braylee's music = 10⁻³
So, substituting the variables into the equation, we have
L₁ = 10㏒(I₁/I₀)
L₁ = 10㏒(10⁻⁹/10⁻¹²)
L₁ = 10㏒(10³)
L₁ = 3 × 10㏒10
L₁ = 30㏒10
L₁ = 30 dB
Now, for Braylee, I₂ = sound intensity level of Braylee's music = 10⁻³
So, substituting the variables into the equation, we have
L₂ = 10㏒(I₁/I₀)
L₂ = 10㏒(10⁻³/10⁻¹²)
L₂ = 10㏒(10⁹)
L₂ = 9 × 10㏒10
L₂ =90㏒10
L₂ = 90 dB
So, the number of times Braylee's music is louder than Jessica's music is L₂/L₁ = 90 dB/30 dB = 3
So, Braylee's music is 3 times louder than Jessica's music
Answer:
Both balls have the same speed.
Explanation:
Janelle throws the two balls from the same height, with the same speed. Both balls will have the same potential and kinetic energy. Energy must be conserved. When the balls pass Michael, again they must have the same potential and kinetic energy.
Answer:
2000 nickels
Explanation:
One way to solve proportionality problems, direct and inverse: the simple 3 rule.
If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct (when one magnitude increases so does the other), the simple direct rule of three must be applied.
On the contrary, if the relationship between the magnitudes is inverse (when one magnitude increases the other decreases) the rule of three simple inverse applies.
The simple 3 rule is an operation that helps us quickly solve proportionality problems, both direct and inverse.
To make a simple rule of three we need 3 data: two magnitudes proportional to each other, and a third magnitude. From these, we will find out the fourth term of proportionality.
In the simple three rule, therefore, the proportionality relationship between two known values A and B is established, and knowing a third value C, a fourth value D is calculated.
A -> B
C -> D
Calculation
1 nickel --> 5 g
X? nickel --> 10000g
X = (10000 g * 1 nickel) / 5 g
X = 2000 nickels
