Given speed and the distance that must be covered, the time it will take the ultraviolet light to reach the earth is 3.7 × 10⁴ hours.

<h3>What is Speed?</h3>

Speed is simply referred to as distance traveled per unit time.

Mathematically, Speed = Distance ÷ time.

Given the data in the question;

  • Speed of the Ultraviolet light c = 3.0 × 10⁸m/s = 1.08 × 10⁹km/h
  • Distance it must cover d = 4.0 × 10¹³km
  • Time elapsed t = ?

We substitute our given values into the expression above.

Speed = Distance ÷ time

1.08 × 10⁹km/h = 4.0 × 10¹³km ÷ t

t = 4.0 × 10¹³km ÷ 1.08 × 10⁹km/h

t = 3.7 × 10⁴ hrs

Therefore, given speed and the distance that must be covered, the time it will take the ultraviolet light to reach the earth is 3.7 × 10⁴ hours.

The amount of energy the body uses when at rest is referred to as _____.
Nesterboy [21]

The answer is Basal Metabolic Rate. It is the total amount of energy expressed in calories that an individual needs to keep the body working at rest. Some of those progressions are blood circulation, breathing, cell growth, controlling body temperature, nerve and brain function, and tightening of muscles.

(a) what will an object weigh on the moon's surface if it weighs 100 n on earth's surface
juin [17]
We know the equation

weight = mass × gravity

To work out the weight on the moon, we will need its mass, and the gravitational field strength of the moon.
Remember that your weight can change, but mass stays constant.

So using the information given about the earth weight, we can find the mass by substituting 100N for weight, and we know the gravity on earth is 10Nm*2 (Use the gravitational field strength provided by your school, I am assuming yours in 10Nm*2)

Therefore,

100N = mass × 10
mass= 100N/10
mass= 10 kg

Now, all we need are the moon's gravitational field strength and to apply this to the equation

weight = 10kg × (gravity on moon)

ziro4ka [17]
Each principal energy level has one sublevel containing one orbital, an s orbital, that can contain a maximum of two electrons. Electrons in this orbital are called s electrons and have the lowest energy of any electrons in that principal energy level.
