Answer: 942
Detailed explanation: this was quite challenging!
B. The correct ratio is sen α = BC/b. Step-by-step explanation: Trigonometric identities are utilized for resolving problems involving right angles. In any right-angled triangle, the side opposite to the angle is known as the opposite side, while the adjacent side runs parallel to the angle, ultimately leading to the longest side, called the hypotenuse.
The response is C. Generally, you incur interest charges from your bank when you exceed your credit limit during borrowing.
Total time taken = 9.0252 *10^12 s.
Step-by-step explanation:
Data provided:
- Distance from Earth to Alpha Centauri: 4.3 light years.
- Distance from Earth to Sirius: 8.6 light years.
- Probe speed: V = 18.03 km/s.
- 1 AU equals 1.58125 x 10^-5 light-years.
Objective:
Determine the total time the probe has been in motion from leaving Earth to reaching Sirius.
Solution:
- Journey is tracked for each destination sequentially:
Earth ------> Alpha Centauri: d_1 = 4.3 light years
Alpha Centauri ------> Earth: d_2 =4.3 light years
Earth ------> Sirius: d_3 = 8.6 light years
Sum of distances = D = 17.2 light years.
- Now, we convert the total distance into kilometers (SI units):
1 AU ----------> 1.58125 x 10^-5 light-years
x AU ----------> 17.2 light years.
- By proportions:
x = 17.2 / (1.58125 x 10^-5) = 1087747.036 AU.
Also,
1 AU ---------------------> 149597870700 m
1087747.036 AU ----> D m.
- Using proportions:
D = 1087747.036*149597870700 = 1.62725*10^17 m.
- Finally, applying the speed-distance-time formula:
Time = Distance traveled (D) / V
Time = 1.62725*10^17 / (18.03*10^3).
Final answer: Time = 9.0252 *10^12 s.
