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

ozzi

Answer:

e. 400 Hz

Explanation:

In closed organ pipe,  only odd harmonics of fundamental note is possible .

The fundamental frequency is 200 Hz . Then other overtones will be having following frequencies .

200 x 3 , 200 x 5 , 200 x 7 , 200 x 9 etc

600 Hz , 1000 Hz , 1400 Hz  , 1800 Hz .

Frequency not possible is 400 Hz .

When Karl Kaveman adds chilled grog to his new granite mug, he removes 10.9 kJ of energy from the mug. If it has a mass of 625 g
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

3°C

Explanation:

We can that heat Q=mc_p dT

Where m is the mass c_p = specific heat capacity

dT = Temperature difference

here we have given m=625 g =.625 kg

specific heat of granite =0.79 J/(g-K) = 0.79 KJ/(kg-k)

T_1 =25°C

T_2 we have to find

we have also given Q=10.9 KJ

10.9=0.625×0.79×(25-T_2)

25-T_2 =22

T_2=3°C
