just want to double-check that you understand a practical consequence of the expansion of the universe. Light reaches us from a

very distant galaxy. The time the light took to cross this distance and reach us is 10 billion years. The distance this light has crossed in this time is probably

Answer:

<em>The distance of the light is 9.4608 x 10^25 m</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Time taken by the light = 10 billion years = 10 x 10^9 years

speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s

speed of light in m/years is = (3 x 10^8)/(60 x 60 x 24 x 365) = 9.4608 x 10^15 m/year

distance = speed x time

therefore, the distance of this light = 10 x 10^9 x 9.461 x 10^15 = <em>9.4608 x 10^25 m</em>

A wave can be described as
rewona [7]
A wave can be described as the disturbance of particles in an area. Think about it this way: particles (matter) carry energy. For all the laws of physics to work, this energy must be "traded" somehow. This happens by miniscule vibrations in the particles, which are apparent disturbances. This creates a wave, and therefore a wave is, indeed, a disturbance.<span />

If you know how much radioactive material the organism had to begin with, explain how you could use half-life to determine its a
TiliK225 [7]

Answer: We can calculate it with the radioactive half life equation

Explanation:

If we already know the initial amount of radioactive material and its half life, we can leave that material for a specific known time and then measure how much of the material is left (since it follows the radioactive deacay) and use the results in the following formula:

A=A_{o}.2^{\frac{-t}{h}}  

Where:

A is the final amount of the material

A_{o} is the initial amount of the material

t is the time elapsed

h is the half life of the radioactive compound
