Answer these questions about a light year.?
aliina [53]

These are five questions and five answers:

a. State the speed in m/sec using scientific notation

i) Find the place value of the digit with the highest place value (the digit most to the left) in the number 300,000,000: hundred millions.

ii) Determine the number of zeros corresponding to that place value: 9

ii) Write the digit with the highest place value, mulitplied by the power of ten with exponent equal to the number of zeros corresponding to the place of such digit less 1 (9 - 1 = 8): 3 × 10⁸

iii) Complete with the units: 3 × 10⁸ m/s ← answer

b. State the speed in km/sec using scientific notation

i) State the conversion factor: 1 km = 1000 m = 10³ m

⇒ 1 = 1 km / 10³ m

ii) Multiply by the conversion factor:

3 × 10⁸ m/s × 1 km / (10³ m)

iii) Simplify (cancel the units that are common in the numerator and denominator)

3 × (10⁸ / 10³) km/s = 3 × 10⁵ km/s ← answer

c. State the number of seconds in one year using scientific notation

i) Find the place value of the digit with the highest place value (the digit most to the left) in the number 32,000,000: ten millions.

ii) Determine the number of zeros corresponding to that place value: 8

ii) Write the digit with the highest place value, as integer, add the other significant figures as decimals, mulitplied by the power of ten with exponent equal to the number of zeros corresponding to the place of the digit with highest place value less 1 (8 - 1 = 7): 3.2 × 10⁷

iii) Complete with the units: 3.2 × 10⁷ s ← answer

d. Calculate the distance in meters of one light year

i) distance formula: distance = speed × time

ii) Replace with the numbers in scientific notation:

distance = 3 × 10⁸ m/s × 3.2 × 10⁷ s

iii) Simplify (due the operations and cancel the units that are common in the numerator and denominator)

3 × 10⁸ m/s × 3.2 × 10⁷ s = 9.6 × 10 ¹⁵ m ← answer

e. State this distance in centimeters

i) State the conversion factor: 1m = 100 cm = 10² cm

⇒ 1 = 10² cm / 1 m

ii) Multiply by the conversion factor: 9.6 × 10 ¹⁵ m × 10² cm / 1 m

iii) Simplily: 9.6 × 10⁷ cm ← answer

The wave frequency is where 1 hertz equals 1 wave passed a fixed point in 1 second.
ahrayia [7]

                     (10 waves) / (5 sec) 

                 =  (10/5) (wave/sec)

                 =      2      per sec

                 =      2        Hz .

Use the law of universal gravitacion to predict what would happen to Earth if the moon were replaced with an object that had the
Zina [86]
Verrrrry interesting !
If the moon were replaced by something with a vastly greater mass
but at the same distance, then ...

-- The period of its revolution around the Earth would be much shorter.
That is, it would orbit the Earth in much less than 27.3 days.  We might
see it go through a complete set of phases in 2 weeks, or even 1 week.

-- The ocean tides would be much greater.  Low tides would be
much lower, and high tides would be much higher.

-- Sadly, the land tides, and the forces on the Earth's internal structure,
would also be much greater.  That means great increases in earthquake
and volcanic activity.

-- The Earth and moon both revolve around their common center of
mass. Under the current arrangement ... with the Earth having 80 times
the mass of the Moon ... that point is inside the Earth, and it looks a lot
like the Moon is orbiting a stationary Earth.
When the new body arrives to replace the lightweight Moon, that point
will be a lot closer to the new companion ... maybe even inside it. 
Then, it will look a lot like the monster is the stationary one, and the
Earth is orbiting it.
I actually don't believe that we would SEE that change, or feel it.

The Sun’s surface temperature is about 5800 K and its spectrum peaks at 5000 Å. An O-type star’s surface temperature may be 40,0
nirvana33 [79]

(a) 7.25\cdot 10^{-8}m

Wien's displacement law is summarized by the equation

\lambda = \frac{b}{T}

where

\lambda is the peak wavelength

b=2.898\cdot 10^{-3} m \cdot K is Wien's displacement constant

T is the absolute temperature at the surface of the star

For an O-type star, we have

T = 40,000 K

Therefore, its peak wavelength is

\lambda = \frac{2.898\cdot 10^{-3}}{40000}=7.25\cdot 10^{-8}m

(b) Ultraviolet

We can answer this part by looking at the wavelength range of the different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum:

gamma rays  

X-rays  1 nm - 1 pm

ultraviolet  380 nm - 1 nm

visible light  750 nm - 380 nm

infrared  25 \mu m - 750 nm

microwaves  1 mm - 25 \mu m

radio waves  > 1 mm

The peak wavelength of this star is

\lambda=7.25\cdot 10^{-8}m=72.5 nm

Therefore, it falls in the ultraviolet region.

(c) No

The Keck telescopes is actually a system of 2 telescopes in the Keck Observatory, located in Mauna kea, Hawai.

The two telescopes, thanks to several instruments, are able to detect  much of the electromagnetic radiation in the visible ligth and infrared parts of the spectrum. However, they are not able to detect light in the ultraviolet region: therefore, they cannot observe the star mentioned in the previous part of the problem.
