Since the light travels in the vacuum then its velocity will be C=3*10^8 m/sec.....then you will convert it to secs=28000*365*24*60*60=8.83008*10^11
then v=s/t then s=v*t=(3*10^8)(8.83008*10^11)=2.649024*10^20 meters

Which force is represented by the arrow at
shutvik [7]

A is pulling the block straight down toward the center of the Earth, no matter what the slope of the plane may be. A is the force of gravity.

The directions of B and C both depend on the slope of the plane.

B is a force that's parallel to the plane, pulling the block UP the plane. B is the force of friction.

C is a force perpendicular to the plane, preventing the block from falling down through the plane. C is the normal force.

It is found that the most probable speed of molecules in a gas at equilibrium temperature
kaheart [24]

Answer:

\frac{T_2}{T_1} = 1

Explanation:

The root mean square velocity of the gas at an equilibrium temperature is given by the following formula:

v = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M} }

where,

v = root mean square velocity of molecules:

R = Universal Gas Constant

T = Equilibrium Temperature

M = Molecular Mass of the Gas

Therefore,

For T = T₁ :

v = \sqrt{\frac{3RT_1}{M} }

For T = T₂ :

v = \sqrt{\frac{3RT_2}{M} }

Since both speeds are given to be equal. Therefore, comparing both equations, we get:

\sqrt{\frac{3RT_1}{M} }=\sqrt{\frac{3RT_2}{M} }\\\\\frac{T_2}{T_1} = 1

On which planet can you jump about the same height as Earth? Explain your answer.
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Venus and Earth

Explanation:

The force of gravity depends on your mass AND the mass of the planet you stand on. Earth and Venus are about the same size, so they have about the same mass. If you go to Venus, your mass hasn't changed, and the planet mass is almost the same as earth- so the force of gravity on you (AKA your weight) will be the same.

How do you ask someone out?
vazorg [7]

talk, make conversation. text isnt always the answer, but sadly now it is. text them or better yet, call them. you can talk and then do not just blurt it out. say it calmly. they say yes, congrats, but if they say no, do not have a mental breakdown. it might ruin a friendship.
