Answer:
1.99 parsecs.
Explanation:
We have been given that the most recently discovered system close to Earth is a pair of brown dwarfs known as Luhman 16. It has a distance of 6.5 light-years.
We know that one light year equals to 0.306601 parsecs. To convert 6.5 light-years to parsecs, we will multiply 0.306601 by 6.5.
Therefore, Luhman 16 is approximately 1.99 parsecs away from the Earth.
Answer:
15.75 m
Explanation:
First, let's look at the top brick by itself. In order for it not to tip over the bottom brick, its center of gravity must be right at the edge of the bottom brick. So the edge of the top brick must be 10.5 m from the edge of the bottom brick.
Now let's look at both bricks as a combined mass. We know the total length of this combined brick is 10.5 m + 21 m = 31.5 m. And we know that for it to not tip over the edge of the surface, its center of gravity must be at the edge. So the edge of the combined brick must be 31.5 m / 2 = 15.75 m from the edge of the surface.
