Answer:
According to the travellers, Alpha Centauri is <em>c) very slightly less than 4 light-years</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
For a stationary observer, Alpha Centauri is 4 light-years away but for an observer who is travelling close to the speed of light, Alpha Centauri is <em>very slightly less than 4 light-years. </em>The following expression explains why:
v = d / t
where
- v is the speed of the spaceship
- d is the distance
- t is the time
Therefore,
d = v × t
d = (0.999 c)(4 light-years)
d = 3.996 light-years
This distance is<em> very slightly less than 4 light-years. </em>
Answer:
The mass of moon is 1/100 times and its radius 1/4 times that of earth. As a result, the gravitational attraction on the moon is about one sixth when compared to earth. Hence, the weight of an object on the moon is 1/6th its weight on the earth.
Answer:
The maximum velocity is 0.377 m/s
Explanation:
Please, the solution is in the Word file attached
Magnitude of acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change).
Change in speed = (27 - 0) = 27 m/s
Time for the change = 10 s
Magnitude of acceleration = (27 m/s) / (10 s) = 2.7 m/s² .
