4 0

Answer:

269,000

Explanation:

The distance between Proxima Centauri and the Sun, d₁₁ = 4.246 light years

The distance between Earth and the Sun, d₂ = 1.58 × 10⁻⁵ light years

The ratio of the distances are;

d₁/d₂ = 4.246/(1.58 × 10⁻⁵) = 268734.177215 ≈ 269,000 times

Therefore, Proxima Centauri is approximately 269,000 times further from the Sun than the Earth is from the Sun

Longitudinal waves have energy that vibrates parallel to the medium - a compression is the region of greatest density and the rarefaction the region of highest density .The rarefaction (much like the maximum amplitude in a transverse wave) has a region of lowest density, typically situated in the exact center of the region.

Two diverging light rays, originating from the same point, have an angle of 5° between them. After the rays reflect from a plane
LuckyWell [14K]
As a reference, consider the line from the point perpendicular to the mirror.
That direction is called 'normal' to the mirror.

The ray on the right leaves the point traveling 5° to the right of the normal,
and leaves the mirror on a path that's 10° to the right of the normal.

The ray on the left leaves the point traveling 5° to the left of the normal,
and leaves the mirror on a path that's 10° to the left of the normal.

The angle between the two rays after they leave the mirror is 20° .

Frankly, Charlotte, if there were more than 5 points available for this answer,
I'd seriously consider giving you a drawing too.

A car with a mass of 850kg is moving at a speed of 72km/h when colliding with a concrete wall until it stops. After the collisio
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Explanation:

The vehicle is experiencing a large force created by the concrete wall.

Equation

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a * d

Givens

vf = 0   The car eventually does stop.

vi = 72 km/hr * [ 1000 m/  km] * [1 hour / 3600 seconds]

vi = 20 meters / second

a = ?

m = 850 kg

Solution

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2a*d

0 = 20 m/s + 2* 2 *a

-20 m/s = 4a

-20/4 =   a

a = - 5 m/s^2   The minus sign tells you the vehicle is slowing down. It sure should be.

Force = m * a

F = - 850 * (-5)

F =  - 4250 N

The car provides a 4250 N force on it going east to west and a 4250 N force going from west to east provided by the concrete wall.
