Explanation:
All resources used in making all products can be traced to their natural origin. What differentiates a natural product from a synthetic one is the level of processing that goes into making synthetic products.
- For example, a synthetic product such as plastic is actually derived from natural product.
- Instead of using the sap of rubber plants for making this product, scientists engineered a way to produce plastics from petroleum products which are derived from crude oil.
- Most synthetic products are merely products of alternate source of manufacturing which are well engineered.
Answer:
Proxima Centuri is 9 orders of magnitude further from New York compared to Perth
Explanation:
Distance of Proxima Centuri to New York = 4 × 10^16 meters
Distance of Proxima Centuri to Perth = 11000 miles
Since 1 mile = 1609 meters, distance to Perth in meters = 11000 × 1609
Distance to Perth = 17699000 = 1.7699 × 10^7 meters
Order of magnitude of the distances of Proxima Centuri to New York and Perth = 10^16/10^7
Order of magnitude = 10^9
Therefore, Proxima Centuri is 9 orders of magnitude further from New York compared to Perth.
