By looking at both graphs we can see that from □(→┬AB ) the spaceship is accelerating from 0 to 0.95c until it reaches the Asteroid belt. The asteroid belt is located at 1.7AU far from earth ‚ Then 95% of the speed of light can be written as 2.85X〖10〗^8 m/s and one AU equals 1.496×〖10〗^11 mt‚ to calculate how much time the spaceship takes to reach B we have (1.7(1.496x〖10〗^11 m))/(1/2((2.85×〖10〗^8 m)/s))=~1778s or approximately 30 minutes. Whereas from C to D the spaceship desaccelerates at a

Astronomy 104 Chapter 3 1. Scientific thinking is our ability to use our prior knowledge and use the knowledge in finding answers to new knowledge. This differs from our everyday thinking because we probably wouldn’t be trying to acquire new information which scientific thinking we always are. 2. In early history astronomy was heavily tied to religion and so usually the priest were astronomers using the star patterns to interpret what the god were saying. Also they based the star patterns of there

To be considered a planet of our solar system you need many different aspects which may seem effortless to understand although there is endless information which is new to scientists everyday. Pluto has some but certainly not all the qualities as it was found orbiting the Kuiper belt which is beyond the orbit of Neptune‚ the current furthest planet from the sun. Pluto has been one of the 9 planets in the past‚ but now that scientists have higher tech machines and programmes to allow them to explore

History of Long-Term Comets Have you ever wondered who and how things were discovered? Who named Mars‚ how the names for constellations for created‚ or how long-term or short-term comets were named and discovered? Long-Term comets are comets that have an orbital period greater than 200 years and are 50‚000-70‚000 AU (astronomical units) from the sun. In this paper‚ I will tell you briefly about how long-term comets are named and seen‚ and about two major long-term comets‚ Comet West and Comet Kohoutek

Science of Stars Nancy Vasquez SCI 151 September 23‚ 2012 Robert Austin Abstract When discussing the Solar System‚ the planets are what are mostly thought of. Many other objects orbit around the sky such as stars‚ asteroids and meteors. Stars have many properties of which will be discussed throughout this paper. Properties of Stars * Stars are determined by their brightness‚ distance‚ luminosity‚ radius‚ chemical composition and temperature (Strobel‚ 2007). * When determining

The Orion Nebula contains one of the brightest star clusters in the night sky. With a magnitude of 4‚ this nebula is easily visible from the Northern Hemisphere during the winter months. It is surprising‚ therefore‚ that this region was not documented until 1610 by a French lawyer named Nicholas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc. On March 4‚ 1769‚ Charles Messier inducted the Orion Nebula‚ M42‚ into his list of stellar objects. Then‚ in 1771‚ Messier released his list of objects for its first publication

Case: _____Saturn_____ Case Abstract Form _____ Problem Statement: Saturn’s sales are down‚ and market share needs to be increased. Also‚ the product line is too narrow. Current advertising is targeting the younger population‚ but the average age of a Saturn buyer is 43. Saturn’s initial focus on employee relationships seems to be fading as demonstrated with the clash between GM designers in Europe and the U.S. on the L-Series car. In addition‚ overall styling of the vehicles needs

The Birth of Venus Alexandra Smith In Sandros Boticelli’s‚ The Birth of Venus‚ there were several different types of lines noticeable in the painting. There are actual lines to illustrate simple birds‚ and curved lines showing the edges of the shell. A lot of the lines were implied by the different colors next to each other. The edge of the trees and the leaves are shown by dark browns and greens against the blue sky. The hard lines of the edge‚ and soft lines in the folds of the fabric held

Inside the Solar System: Comet C/2011 N3 PSC 103 - Astronomy Summer 2012 According to an article written in early January Scientific American (Matson‚ 2012)‚ on July 6th‚ for the first time ever‚ a sun-watching spacecraft has traced a comet’s route directly into the sun. The magazine boasts this as the “Solar Swan Song” (Matson‚ 2012) and compares this comet’s demise to dramatic exits in the movie Dr. Strangelove. Discovered by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory‚ otherwise known as SOHO
