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 figure skater skates across a rink of length 50 m in 12.1 seconds. a. What is the average speed of the skater? (2 points) b. I
melamori03 [73]
(a) The skater covers a distance of S=50 m in a time of t=12.1 s, so its average speed is the ratio between the distance covered and the time taken:
v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{50 m}{12.1 s}=4.13 m/s

(b) The initial speed of the skater is
v_i = 4 m/s
while the final speed is
v_f = 5.3 m/s
and the time taken to accelerate to this velocity is t=2 s, so the acceleration of the skater is given by
a= \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}= \frac{5.3 m/s-4.0 m/s}{2.0 s}=0.65 m/s^2

(c) The initial speed of the skater is 
v_i = 13.0 m/s
while the final speed is 
v_f=0
since she comes to a stop. The distance covered is S=8 m, so we can use the following relationship to find the acceleration of the skater:
2aS=v_f^2 -v_i^2
from which we find
a= \frac{-v_i^2}{2S}= \frac{-(13.0m/s)^2}{2 \cdot 8.0 m}=-10.6 m/s^2
where the negative sign means it is a deceleration.

object of mass m=2.6 kg is dropped from rest at a height of h above a massless spring with spring constant k=494.3 N/m that is i
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

3.56 m

Explanation:

As the object falls from height h, and then compresses the spring a distance of 0.66m, its initial potential energy is converted into elastics energy of the spring.  

Let g = 9.81m/s2. Knowing that the total change in potential height is h + d, we have the following equation

E_p = E_s

mg(h + d) = kd^2/2

2.6*9.81(h + 0.66) = 494.3*0.66^2/2

h + 0.66 = 4.22

h = 4.22 - 0.66 = 3.56 m
