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

Why is it generally easy to filter out particles in suspension?
sattari [20]

Answer: A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which some of the particles settle out of the mixture upon standing. The particles in a suspension are far larger than those of a solution, so gravity is able to pull them down out of the dispersion medium (water).

A planet has a mass of 5.68 x 1026 kg and a radius of 6.03 x 107 m. What is the weight of a 65.0 kg person on the surface of thi
Paul [167]

To solve this problem, we must know the gravitational force of the planet. The equation would be,

 F=G \frac{ m_{1} m_{2}  }{ r^{2} }

This would calculate the force between two objects with masses m1 and m2 and the gravitational constant, G, is 6.67 x 10^-11 m3 s-2 kg-1 and with r as the distance between the objects.

Thus,

F = (6.67 x 10^-11 m3 s-2 kg-1) * (5.68 x 10^26 kg) * (65 kg) * ((1/6.03 x 10^7 m)^2)

F = 678 kg/s^2 or 678 N

Answer is letter B.

If I have a picosecond laser how would that be expressed in terms of zeptoseconds? In terms of petaseconds?
kolbaska11 [484]
Picosecond = 10 ^ -12 seconds.
Zeptosecond = 10^ -18 seconsds
Petaseonds  =  10^15  seconds

To express Picoseconds into any of other two, you have to divide  10^-12 by the power index of the one in question

1Picosecond :   10^-12  /  10^-18 =    10^ (-12- 18) =  10^ (-12+18)= 10^6  zeptoseconds

1Picosecond :   10^-12  /  10^15 =    10^ (-12-15) =  10^-27  Petaseconds.

1Picosecond = 10^6  zeptoseconds

1Picosecond = 10^-27  Petaseconds

Newton’s second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent on 1 variable which is the net force
Darya [45]
I think it’s false. The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and then mass of the object.
