- Please answer the following A) Suppose an object takes 1000 years to orbit the Sun. How many times farther from the Sun is it, when compared with Earth? B) Communications with the spacecraft Alpha using radio waves require 2000 years for the round trip (there and back). This implies that Alpha is how many light years away from Earth?arrow_forwardPlease answer the question and its subquestions entirely! This is one question with two subquestions. According to the official Bartleby guidelines, I am alowed to have up to two subquestion! 1) When an ice-skater spins and increases her rotation rate by pulling her arms and leg in, what happens to her kinetic energy? It stays the same. It increases. It decreases. a) A 0.400 kg mass, sitting on a horizontal frictionless surface, is attached to the end of a 0.750 m string. It is whirled around in a circular horizontal path. If the maximum tension that the string can withstand is 450 N, then what maximum velocity can the mass have if the string is not to break? 375 m/s 22.4 m/s 19.4 m/s 29.0 m/s b) A grinding wheel with a moment of inertia of 2 kg-m 2 has a 2.50 N-m torque applied to it.

If the spacecraft was initially going to the right with a speed of 5 km/s, and the planet was going to the left at a speed of 13 km/s, what would be the fastest the spacecraft could be going after the U-turn, in km/s?

On average how many particles did the Earth capture each second? (Assume that the Earth's mass is 6 x 1024 kg.) Please show all work.arrow_forwardPlease provide steps for how you got the solution to the problem provided below, I am trying to understand the problem, not just see an answer. Thank you so much. A space ship warp engine has enough energy to perform two warp jumps going between star systems (i.e., the warp battery has 2 units of charge). The ship can operate in two modes: survey the current system or charge battery. On a given day the ship will complete the survey of the current system with probability 0.24. Then, if battery has capacity, it will move to a new system, consuming 1 unit of charge. If the battery is empty, the ship will switch to the charging mode. In the charging mode, the ship will recover 1 unit of charge on a given day with probability 0.95. The ship will stay in the charging mode until the battery is full. Model the behavior of the ship as a Markov chain.arrow_forward
