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

5 0

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

Our eyes are typically 6 cm apart. Suppose you are somewhat unique, and yours are 9.50 cm apart. You see an object jump from sid
Serhud [2]

Answer: 12.67 cm, 8 cm

Explanation:

Given

Normal distance of separation of eyes, d(n) = 6 cm

Distance of separation is your eyes, d(y) = 9.5 cm

Angle created during the jump, θ = 0.75°

To solve this, we use the formula,

θ = d/r, where

θ = angle created during the jump

d = separation between the eyes

r = distance from the object

θ = d/r

0.75 = 9.5 / r

r = 9.5 / 0.75

r = 12.67 cm

θ = d/r

0.75 = 6 / r

r = 6 / 0.75

r = 8 cm

Thus, the object is 12.67 cm far away in your own "unique" eyes, and just 8 cm further away to the normal person eye

What is the formula of finding displacement​
xenn [34]
Displacement is the final position of the object minus the initial position of the object.
Xf - Xi. Displacement is not the distance of the object. If you go to the right 10m and to the left another 10m, your displacement is 0m. But your distance is 20m
