Alpha Centauri A and B are Sun-like stars, and together they form the binary star Alpha Centauri AB. Alpha Centauri A has 1.1 times the mass of the Sun, while Alpha Centauri B has 0.907 times the Sun’s mass. (Sun’s mass is 1.989 × 1030 kg.) The pair orbit about a common centre with an orbital period of 79.91 years. Their elliptical orbit is eccentric, so that the distance between A and B varies, but if we assume it is...

The nearest star to Earth besides the Sun is Proxima Centauri, which is a distance of approximately 4 light years away. A planet that may be able to sustain liquid water on its surface was discovered in 2016 orbiting Proxima Centauri. According to observers on Earth, a spaceship that travels at 0.9c should be able to reach the planet in 3.6 years. How long would the trip take according to astronauts on board the spaceship?

1. Alpha Centauri is the closest star system to our Solar System at a distance of 4.37 light-years. The velocity of light is 3.00 x108 m/s and a light year is defined as the distance light travels in 1 year. Calculate the distance in kilo meters (km) from Alpha Centauri to our Solar System in Scientific Notation format with the correct number of significant figures.

PLEASE ANSWER BOTH!!!
Our best measurements from Earth indicate that the star system Alpha Centauri is 4.2 light-years away. Suppose some of our astronauts traveled there at a speed v 0.83c. What would the astronauts measure as the distance to Alpha Centauri? O 2.8 light-years 9.1 light-years O 2.9 light-years O 2.3 light-years O 7.5 light-years If a proton with mass 1.67 x 10"27 kg moves in an accelerator such that its total energy is five times its rest energy...

If we scale the approximate size of the Sun (~1 billion meters) to fit onto a DVD (about 100mm or 0.1m), how many DVDs would you have to connect as a chain to represent the distance to the nearest star? Use the fact that Alpha Centauri is about 10¹⁶ meters away from Earth. Hint: determine the scale factor which reduces the true size of the Sun to a DVD and apply it to the distance to Alpha Centauri. If you...
