Answer:
A cosmic year is 365.25 days, some times called a side real year and is just the time it takes for us to go round the sun once.
A light year is the distance light travels in a year. Now light travels at about 186,262 miles a Second! Which is not slow by any ones book.
An experiment was conducted just after Christmas a few years ago. Two girls were selected from the audience and went into two phone boxes a few feet apart. They could only hear each other via the phones. The phone call went to a ground station about 200 miles away, then up to a geostationary coms satellite, back to a ground station 1/3 of the way around the world, then repeated, with a third satellite before being sent from another ground station back to London and the other phone box. We the audience could hear both sides of the conversation from both boxes. And could hear the delay between sending and receiving. So even at the speed of light, there was about 1.5 seconds of delay. So because distances in space are so vast that saying a star is x millions of miles away causes problems, you run out of zero’s! So our nearest other star is about 4.5 light years away. Our sun (our nearest start) is about 8 light minuets away. Varies slightly as our orbit is not 100% cirular.
I HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL.
Answer:
(a) P = 459.055 N.
(b) the refrigerator tips.
Explanation:
Given, the angle of ramp is 20°.
When the weight of refrigerator is resolved in directions parallel and perpendicular to ramp, 75×g×sin(20°) and 75×g×cos(20°).
⇒ normal contact force is 75×g×cos(20°).
⇒ frictional force is 0.3×75×g×cos(20°) = 207.414 N
so, total opposite force is 207.414 + 75×g×sin(20°) = 459.055 N.
so, the force needed is P = 459.055 N
And as the moment due to both opposite force and P force are in same direction the refrigerator tips rather than just sliding.
