Answer:

The passenger aircraft would take 10.542 years to reach the Sun from the Earth.

The passenger aircraft would take 1.733\times 10^{10} years to reach the gallactic center.

Explanation:

The distance to the sun from the Earth is approximately equal to 1.496\times 10^{8}\,km, if the passenger travels at constant speed, then the time needed to reach the sun is calculated by the following kinematic formula:

\Delta t = \frac{s}{v} (1)

Where:

s - Travelled distance, measured in kilometers.

v - Speed of the passenger aircraft, measured in kilometers per second.

\Delta t - Travelling time, measured in seconds.

If we know that s = 1.496\times 10^{8}\,km and v = 0.45\,\frac{km}{s}, then the travelling time is:

\Delta t = \frac{1.496\times 10^{8}\,km}{0.45\,\frac{km}{h} }

\Delta t = 3.324\times 10^{8}\,s

\Delta t = 3847.736\,days

\Delta t = 10.542\,years

The passenger aircraft would take 10.542 years to reach the Sun from the Earth.

The distance between the Earth and the galactic center is approximately equal to 2.460\times 10^{17}\,km. If the passenger travels at constant speed and if we know that s = 2.460\times 10^{17}\,km and v = 0.45\,\frac{km}{s} , then the travelling time is:

\Delta t = \frac{2.460\times 10^{17}\,km}{0.45\,\frac{km}{s} }

\Delta t = 5.467\times 10^{17}\,s

\Delta t = 6.327\times 10^{12}\,days

\Delta t = 1.733\times 10^{10}\,years

The passenger aircraft would take 1.733\times 10^{10} years to reach the gallactic center.

Lorico [155]
In Earth's climate system, positive feedback's tend to amplify changes in the system, and negative feedback's tend to encourage the system against change. Having a positive feedback gives the newest updates and brings the problems on the table, thus changes are always a must when there's proof that suggest there's big problem, but when the feedback is negative, lacking, then there's not pressure for changes, so anyone who has interest in not changing will push for that, thus encouragement of taking no changes. <span />

Que tuvo que ver la doctrina Monroe con la situación política, social y económica que se vive en América Latina.
stich3 [128]

✅​La doctrina fue presentada por el presidente Monroe durante su sexto discurso al Congreso sobre el Estado de la Unión. Fue tomado con dudas, al principio, y luego con entusiasmo. Fue un momento decisivo en la política exterior de los Estados Unidos. La doctrina fue concebida por sus autores, en especial John Quincy Adams, como una proclamación de los Estados Unidos de su oposición al colonialismo en respuesta a la amenaza que suponía la restauración monárquica en Europa y la Santa Alianza tras las guerras napoleónicas.✅
