The closest star to our solar system is Alpha Centauri, which is 4.12 × 10^16 m away. How long would it take light from Alpha Centauri to reach our solar system if the speed of light is 3.00 × 10^8 m/s? (Provide an answer in both seconds and in years.) (According to the textbook the answer is 4.35 years, i'm just not sure how to get there as I keep getting a different answer)

Electric field of the earth. the earth has a net electric charge that causes a field at points near its surface equal to 150 n> c and directed in toward the center of the earth. (a) what magnitude and sign of charge would a 60-kg human have to acquire to overcome his or her weight by the force exerted by the earth’s electric field? (b) what would be the force of repulsion between two people each with the charge calculated in part (a) and separated by a distance of 100 m? is use of the earth’s electric field a feasible means of flight? why or why not?

Convection occurs when thermal energy is transferred by the movement of
