Light from the sun reaches the earth in 8.3 minutes. the speed of light is 3.0  108 m/s. in kilometers, how far is the earth fr

Flura [38]

To determine the distance of the light that has traveled given the time it takes to travel that distance, we need a relation that would relate time with distance. In any case, it would be the speed of the motion or specifically the speed of light that is travelling which is given as 3x10^8 meters per second. So, we simply multiply the time to the speed. Before doing so, we need to remember that the units should be homogeneous. We do as follows:

distance = 3x10^8 m/s ( 8.3 min ) ( 60 s / 1 min ) = 1.494x10^11 m

Since we are asked for the distance to be in kilometers, we convert

distance = 1.494x10^11 m ( 1 km / 1000 m) = 149400000 km

• A flame always points upwards. Why do you think this is so?

valina [46]

Answer:

A flame always point upwards because the flame's gas is hotter than the surrounding air and, like you said, a hot gas is always lighter or less dense than a cold gas.

A freight car with a mass of 10 metric tons is rolling at 108 km/h along a level track when it collides with another freight car

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

20 metric tons

Explanation:

Using the Principle of Conservation of Linear Momentum which states that the total momentum of a system is constant in any direction in which no external force acts.

momentum before collision= momentum after collision

mathematically expressed as

m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1+m2v2 =0

where:

m1= mass of rolling freight car = 10 metric tons = 10Mg

1 ton = 1000kg= 1Mg

u1 =initial velocity of freight car = 108km/h,

m2 = mass of stationary freight car = ?, this the unknown we are finding

u2 = initial velocity of

m2 = 0, because it is at rest,

v1= final velocity of m1,

v2= final velocity of m2

since they move together in the same direction they share a common final velocity as such

v1=v2= 36km/h

substituting valves in expression give

m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2= 0

10Mgx 108km/hr + m2 x 0 = 10Mg x 36km/h + m2x36km/h

1080( Mg x km/hr) + 0 = 360 (Mg x Km/h) + 36m2 (km/h)

1080 (Mgx km/hr) - 360(Mg x km/h) = 36m2 (km/h)

720(Mg x km/h) = 36m2 (km/h)

divide both side by 36 (km/h) gives

m2 = 20Mg =20 metric tons
