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

To calculate the change in kinetic energy, you must know the force as a function of _______. The work done by the force causes t
QveST [7]

Answer:

(c) position

Explanation:

From the work-energy theorem, the workdone by a force on a body causes a change in kinetic energy of the body.

But, remember that the work done (W) by a force (F) on a body is the product of the force and the distance d, moved by the body caused by the force. i.e

W = F x d

This distance is a measure of the position of the body at a given instance.

Therefore, the work done is given by the force as a function of distance (or position).

How much heat is needed to warm 0.072kg of gold from 20 celsius and 90 celsius if the specific heat of gold 136 joules
dybincka [34]

Heat supplied to the gold will raise the temperature of the gold from 20 degree Celsius to 90 degree Celsius.

Mass of the gold (m) = 0.072 kg

Temperature change (ΔT) = 90 - 20 = 70 degree Celsius

Specific heat capacity of the gold (c) = 136 J/kg C

Heat supplied = m × c × ΔT

Heat supplied = 0.072 × 136 × 70

Heat supplied = 685.44 Joules

Hence, the heat supplied to the gold to raise the temperature from 20 degree Celsius to 90 degree Celsius = 685.44 Joules
