Answer:

a = 50 [m/s²]

Explanation:

This type of problem can be solved using Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

∑F = m*a

where:

F = force =25 [N] (units of Newtons)

m = mass = 0.5 [kg]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

$a=F/m\\a=25/0.5\\a= 50 [m/s^{2}]$

Answer:

2.91 x 10¹² sec

Explanation:

d = distance of nearest star, Proxima Centauri = 4.3 ly = 4.3 x 9.46 x 10¹⁵ m

v = speed of new horizon probe = 14 km/hr = 14000 m/s

t = time taken for the new horizon probe to reach nearest star, Proxima Centauri = ?

Using the equation

d = v t

Inserting the values given

4.3 x 9.46 x 10¹⁵ = (14000) t

t = 2.91 x 10¹² sec

Why is the sky blue?

ladessa [460]

The sunlight of all colors passes through air, the blue part causes charged particles to oscillate faster than does the red part. More of the sunlight entering the atmosphere is blue than violet, however, and our eyes are somewhat more sensitive to blue light than to violet light, so the sky appears blue.
