B. Distance

A light-year has a bit of a deceiving name. Despite the fact that it seems to imply it is a measure of time, this is not of fact correct. A light-year refers to how far light can travel within a year. One light year is approximately 6 trillion miles. Light years are used to measure extremely far distances such as how far the sun is from other stars, or how far away other exoplanets (planets outside our solar system) are.

An atom of a certain element has 36 protons, 36 electrons, and a mass number of 84. At room temperature, this element is a very
Grace [21]

Answer:

12 neutrons

Explanation:

The number of protons also shows the atomic number. Therefore the element in question is Krypton (Kr), which also is a noble gas.

Neutrons = Mass number - protons - electrons

Here neutrons = 84 - 36 - 36 = 12

A piston of volume 0.1 m3 contains two moles of a monatomic ideal gas at 300K. If it undergoes an isothermal process and expands
seropon [69]

Answer:

the work is done by the gas on the environment -is W= - 3534.94 J (since the initial pressure is lower than the atmospheric pressure , it needs external work to expand)

Explanation:

assuming ideal gas behaviour of the gas , the equation for ideal gas is

P*V=n*R*T

where

P = absolute pressure

V= volume

T= absolute temperature

n= number of moles of gas

R= ideal gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K

P=n*R*T/V

the work that is done by the gas is calculated through

W=∫pdV=  ∫ (n*R*T/V) dV

for an isothermal process T=constant and since the piston is closed vessel also n=constant during the process then denoting 1 and 2 for initial and final state respectively:

W=∫pdV=  ∫ (n*R*T/V) dV =  n*R*T  ∫(1/V) dV = n*R*T * ln (V₂/V₁)

since

P₁=n*R*T/V₁

P₂=n*R*T/V₂

dividing both equations

V₂/V₁ = P₁/P₂

W= n*R*T * ln (V₂/V₁)  = n*R*T * ln (P₁/P₂ )

replacing values

P₁=n*R*T/V₁ = 2 moles* 8.314 J/mol K* 300K / 0.1 m3= 49884 Pa

since P₂ = 1 atm = 101325 Pa

W= n*R*T * ln (P₁/P₂ ) = 2 mol * 8.314 J/mol K * 300K * (49884 Pa/101325 Pa) = -3534.94 J

The intensity level of a "Super-Silent" power lawn mower at a distance of 1.0 m is 100 dB. You wake up one morning to find that
OLEGan [10]

Answer: The intensity level of sound in the bedroom is 80dB

Explanation:

Intensity of lawn mower at r=1m is 100dB

Beta1= 10dBlog(I1/Io)

100dB= 10dB log(I1/Io)

10^10= I1/Io

I1= Io(10^10)

10^12)×(10^10)= I1

I1=10^-2w/m^2

Intensity of lawn mower at r=20m

I2/I1=(r1/r2)^2 =(1/20)^2

I2= I1(1/400)

I2=2.5×10^-3W_m^2

Intensity of 4 lown mowers at 20m fro. Window

= 10dBlog(4I2/Io)

= 10^-4/10^-12

=80dB

Arte-miy333 [17]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

100 times

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The largest stars are 100 times the mass of the Sun.
  • <u>The giant stars are about 10 to 100 times the radius of the sun</u>, which means they are 100 times brighter than the sun.
  • <em><u>The largest known star in terms of mass and brightness is known as the Pistol Star. It is believed to be 100 times as massive as our Sun, and 10,000,000 times as bright.</u></em>
