Astronaut Rob leaves Earth in a spaceship at a speed of 0.960c relative to an observer on Earth. Rob's destination is a star sys

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

A) 15.0 years

Explanation:

Due to the distance to the star system is in light-year units, we can compute the time by using:

$t=\frac{d}{v}=\frac{14.4 l-y}{0.960}=15l-y$

then, Rob will take to complete the trip about 15 light-years.

hope this helps!!

Earth's gravity attempts to change the velocity of all objects on Earth's surface toward _____ at a rate of 9.8 meters per secon

umka21 [38]

The answer is to the ground.

Gravity refers to the force that holds together the universe. On Earth, the gravity attempts to change the velocity of all the objects on the Earth's surface toward the ground at a rate of 9.8 meters per second squared according to Galileo.

A periodic wave with wavelength 2m has a speed of 4m/s. What is the waves frequency?.

Gekata [30.6K]

The wave frequency is 2 Hz.

What is wave frequency ?

The number of waves that pass through a fixed point in a given amount of time is referred to as the wave frequency. The hertz is the SI unit for wave frequency (Hz).

$f = v / w$

where,

$f = frequency\\v = speed \\w = wavelength$

Given,

$v = 4 m/s, w = 2 m$

$f = 4/2 \\f = 2 Hz\\$

The waves frequency is 2 Hz.

A student is swimming south applying a force of 256 N. The water exerts a westward force of 104 N. If the student has a mass of

grigory [225]

Answer:

$a=2.9\ m/sec^2$

Explanation:

<u>Net Forces and Acceleration</u>

The second Newton's Law relates the net force $F_r$ acting on an object of mass m with the acceleration a it gets. Both the net force and the acceleration are vector and have the same direction because they are proportional to each other.

$\vec F_r=m\vec a$

According to the information given in the question, two forces are acting on the swimming student: One of 256 N pointing to the south and other to the west of 104 N. Since those forces are not aligned, we must add them like vectors as shown in the figure below.

The magnitude of the resulting force $F_r$ is computed as the hypotenuse of a right triangle

$|F_r|=\sqrt{256^2+104^2}$

$|F_r|=276.32\ Nw$

The acceleration can be obtained from the formula

$F_r=ma$

Note we are using only magnitudes here

$\displaystyle a=\frac{F_r}{m}$

$\displaystyle a=\frac{276.32Nw}{95.3Kg}$

$\boxed{a=2.9\ m/sec^2}$

3. Describe the flow of one molecule of water through the water cycle, beginning in the ocean.

scZoUnD [109]

molecules of water are never destroyed - they go through various uses in a cycle of re-use. beginning in the ocean. a water molecue is attached to the wet suit of a deep sea diver. when the diver gets back on his boat, the water molecule leaves the ocean. Diver dry his suit under the sun. The water molecule is evaporated to the air. It meets up with more water molecules to form cloud. Cloud becomes rain over ground. Rain drains into stream which merges into river. River runs out to the ocean and the water cycle starts anew.
