Answer:

4.0208 x 10^16 meters

Explanation:

speed of light in m/s * # seconds in a year * 4.25 years =

2.99792 x 10^8 * 3600*24*365.25 * 4.25 = 4.0208 x 10^16 m

Answer:

The latent heat of fusion of water is 334.88 Joules per gram of water.

Explanation:

Let the latent heat of ice be 'x' J/g

1) Thus heat absorbed by 100 gram of ice to get converted into water equals

$Q_1=100\times x$

2) heat energy required to raise the temperature of water from 0 to 25 degree Celsius equals

$Q_2=100\times 4.186\times 11=4604.6Joules$

Thus total energy needed equals $Q_1+Q_2=100x+4604.6$

3) Heat energy released by the decrease in the temperature of water from 25 to 11 degree Celsius is

$Q_3=650\times 4.186\times (25-11)\\\\Q_{3}=38092.6Joules$

Now by conservation of energy we have

$Q_1+Q_2=Q_3\\\\100x+4604.6=38092.6\\\\\therefore x=\frac{38092.6-4604.6}{100}=334.88J/g$
