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

A small, spring-loaded cannon launches a tennis ball from level ground with an initial speed vi at an angle θi with the horizont
lora16 [44]

Answer:

a. T\ =\ \dfrac{2v_isin\theta_i}{g}

b. v_icos\theta_i

c. v_1sin\theta_i

Explanation:

Given,

*initial velocity of the ball = v_i

*angle of projection = \theta_i

Horizontal component of the initial velocity of the ball = v_x\ =\ v_icos\theta_i

vertical initial component of the initial velocity of the ball = v_y\ =\ v_isin\theta_i

part a

From the kinematics,

In the y-direction motion,

total vertical displacement of the ball during the whole motion is zero.

Ball is moving under the gravitational acceleration, therefore the acceleration of the ball = -g, because gravitational acceleration always acts in the downward direction,

Let t be the time of flight of the whole motion,

y\ =\ v_yt\ -\ \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\Rightarrow 0\ =\ v_isin\theta_i t\ -\ \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\Rightarrow t\ =\ \dfrac{2v_isin\theta_i}{g}\\

part b.

At the peak of the path of the ball, the vertical component of the velocity of the ball becomes zero, only horizontal component of the velocity acts on the ball is equal to = v_x\ =\ v_icos\theta_i

part c.

Initial vertical component of the velocity of the ball = v_y\ =\ v_isin\theta_i

Megan walks 1100 m to the left in 330s. What was her average speed in m/s?
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

3.33m/s

Explanation:

Speed is the change in distance of a body with respect to time.

Speed = Distance/Time

Given

Distance = 1100m

Time = 330s

Speed = 1100/330

Speed = 3.33m/s

Hence her average speed in m/s is 3.33m/s
