Alpha centauri is not only the closest star system to us (it is actually a triple star system) but it also seems to be an excellent place to look for extraterrestrial life. it is about 4.3 light years away from earth. if an astronaut claims her journey there and back only took 6.3 years, then how fast was she traveling? (assume she made a fast turnaround once she arrived there! ) a. 0.68c b. 0.73c c. 0.86c d. 0.81c e. 0.54c

The a992 steel rod bc has a diameter of 50 mm and is used as a strut to support the beam. determine the maximum intensity w of the uniform distributed load that can be applied to the beam without risk of causing the strut to buckle. take f.s. = 2 against bucklin

The arrival of in the early days of europa’s existence could have formed its ocean. it is likely that the water experienced similar to earth. it is also possible that this water is retained beneath europa’s surface and in its atmosphere due to europa’s . 1.) a. precipitation b. water vapor c. icy debris 2.) a. gravitational compression b. biochemical cycling c. radiogenic heating 3.) a, gravity b. magnetic field c. heat energy for plato

Astudent throws a water balloon with speed v0 from a height h = 1.76 m at an angle θ = 21° above the horizontal toward a target on the ground. the target is located a horizontal distance d = 9.5 m from the student’s feet. assume that the balloon moves without air resistance. use a cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the balloon's initial position. (a) what is the position vector, rtarge t, that originates from the balloon's original position and terminates at the target? put this in terms of h and d, and represent it as a vector using i and j. (b) in terms of the variables in the problem, determine the time, t, after the launch it takes the balloon to reach the target. your answer should not include h. (c) create an expression for the balloon's vertical position as a function of time, y(t), in terms of t, vo, g, and θ. (d) determine the magnitude of the balloon's initial velocity, v0, in meters per second, by eliminating t from the previous two expressions.
