We would have to search at least 5,000,000,000 (5 billion) stars before we would expect to hear a signal.

To find out the number of stars that we will need to search to find a signal, we need to use the following formula:

  • total of stars/civilizations
  • 500,000,000,000 (500 billion) stars / 100 civilization = 5,000,000,000 (5 billion)

This shows it is expected to find a civilization every 5 billion stars, and therefore it is necessary to search at least 5 billion stars before hearing a signal from any civilization.

Note: This question is incomplete; here is the complete question.

On average, how many stars would we have to search before we would expect to hear a signal? Assume there are 500 billion stars in the galaxy.

Assuming 100 civilizations existed.

A rocket of mass m is to be launched fromplanet X, which has a mass M and a radius R. What is the minimum speed that the rocket
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The minimum speed = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }

Explanation:

The minimum speed that the rocket must have for it to escape into space is called its escape velocity. If the speed is not attained, the gravitational pull of the planet would pull down the rocket back to its surface. Thus the launch would not be successful.

The minimum speed can be determined by;

                      Escape velocity = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }

where: G is the universal gravitational constant, M is the mass of the planet X, and R is its radius.

If the appropriate values of the variables are substituted into the expression, the value of the minimum speed required can be determined.

A tennis ball connected to a string is spun around in a vertical, circular path at a uniform speed. The ball has a mass m = 0.15
Oksanka [162]

1) 5.5 N

When the ball is at the bottom of the circle, the equation of the forces is the following:

T-mg = m\frac{v^2}{R}

where

T is the tension in the string, which points upward

mg is the weight of the string, which points downward, with

m = 0.158 kg being the mass of the ball

g = 9.8 m/s^2 being the acceleration due to gravity

m \frac{v^2}{R} is the centripetal force, which points upward, with

v = 5.22 m/s being the speed of the ball

R = 1.1 m being the radius of the circular trajectory

Substituting numbers and re-arranging the formula, we find T:

T=mg+m\frac{v^2}{R}=(0.158 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)+(0.158 kg)\frac{(5.22 m/s)^2}{1.1 m}=5.5 N

2) 3.9 N

When the ball is at the side of the circle, the only force acting along the centripetal direction is the tension in the string, therefore the equation of the forces becomes:

T=m\frac{v^2}{R}

And by substituting the numerical values, we find

T=(0.158 kg)\frac{(5.22 m/s)^2}{1.1 m}=3.9 N

3) 2.3 N

When the ball is at the top of the circle, both the tension and the weight of the ball point downward, in the same direction of the centripetal force. Therefore, the equation of the force is

T+mg=m\frac{v^2}{R}

And substituting the numerical values and re-arranging it, we find

T=m\frac{v^2}{R}-mg=(0.158 kg)\frac{5.22 m/s)^2}{1.1 m}-(0.158 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=2.3 N

4) 3.3 m/s

The minimum velocity for the ball to keep the circular motion occurs when the centripetal force is equal to the weight of the ball, and the tension in the string is zero; therefore:

T=0\\mg = m\frac{v^2}{R}

and re-arranging the equation, we find

v=\sqrt{gR}=\sqrt{(9.8 m/s^2)(1.1 m)}=3.3 m/s

A rare and valuable antique chest is being moved into a truck using a 4.00 m long ramp. the kj weight of the chest plus packing
Lisa [10]

First let us calculate for the angle of inclination using the sin function,

sin θ = 1 m / 4 m

θ = 14.48°

 

Then we calculate the work done by the movers using the formula:

W = Fnet * d

 

So we must calculate for the value of Fnet first. Fnet is force due to weight minus the frictional force.

Fnet = m g sinθ – μ m g cosθ

Fnet = 1,500 sin14.48 – 0.2 * 1,500 * cos14.48

Fnet = 84.526 N

 

So the work exerted is equal to:

W = 84.526 N * 4 m

<span>W = 338.10 J</span>
