Outside our solar system the closest star to earth is Proxima century life from the start takes 2200000 minutes to reach earth.

light in the Sun takes 8.3 minutes to reach. the speed of light is 18 00 0000 km/minute by calculation compare the distance of proxima century the Earth to the distance of the Sun from the Earth

Answer:

2200000 = 2.2E6 min for light from Proxima to reach earth

8.3 min from light sun to reach earth

2.2E6/8.3 = 2.56E5   times for light from Proxima

Proxima is about 256,000 times farther away than the sun

Since the sun is about 93,000,000 = 9.3E7 miles from earth

Proxima is then 9.3E7 * 2.56E5 = 2.4E13 miles away

Note - the speed of light is

3.00E8 m/s * 60 s/min / 1000 m/km = 1.8E7 km/min as given

Which is an example of electrical energy being converted or changed into light energy?
Lera25 [3.4K]
When I see the word "which" at the beginning of your question,
I just KNOW that there's a list of choices printed right there
next to he part that you copied, and for some mysterious
reason, you decided not to let us see the choices.

Any flashlight, light bulb, laser, or spark ... like lightning ...
converts some electrical energy into some light energy.

What happens if :<br> . The test charge is not tiny.
docker41 [41]

The magnitude of the test charge must be small enough so that it does not disturb the issuance of the charges whose electric field we wish to measure otherwise the metric field will be different from the actual field.

<h3>How does test charge affect electric field?</h3>

As the quantity of authority on the test charge (q) is increased, the force exerted on it is improved by the same factor. Thus, the ratio of force per charge (F / q) stays the same.

Adjusting the amount of charge on the test charge will not change the electric field force.

<h3>What is a test charge used for?</h3>

The charge that is used to measure the electric field strength is directed to as a test charge since it is used to test the field strength. The test charge has a portion of charge denoted by the symbol q.

a rocket engine can accelerate a rocket launched from rest vertically up with an acceleration of 22.9 m/s2. however, after 50.0
xxTIMURxx [149]

The acceleration of a rocket engine is given here, and after 50 seconds of flight, the engine fails, and we must determine the altitude of the rocket at the time the engine fails.  Because the rocket starts from rest, the time taken is 50 seconds, the initial velocity is zero, and the acceleration is 22.9 meters per second square. So we use the kinamatics equation s equal to v. I t plus half 8 square. There is no acceleration at the start. 22.9 and t is 50 seconds, so displacement 2.86 times 10 to the power 4 is met. This is the rocket's displacement in 50 seconds, so this is the rocket's altitude when the engine fails.

<h3>What exactly is accelerate?</h3>
  • In mechanics, acceleration is defined as the rate of change of an object's velocity with respect to time. Vector quantities are accelerations. The orientation of an object's acceleration is determined by the orientation of its net force.
  • In his second law of motion, Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) defined acceleration as the ratio of a force acting on an object to its mass: a = f/m.
  • Accelerate is a verb that means to speed up. When you press the gas pedal, the car accelerates. If you know someone who works at the consulate, you can speed up the process.
  • Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes over time, both in terms of speed and direction. A point or object moving in a straight line is accelerated if it accelerates or decelerates.
  • Even if the speed is constant, motion on a circle is accelerated because the direction is constantly changing. Both effects contribute to acceleration in all other types of motion.

Hence, There is no acceleration at the start. 22. This is the rocket's displacement in 50 seconds, so this is the rocket's altitude when the engine fails.
