Define light yearend explain how and why light years are used to measure distances in the universe

1 answer:

3 0

Light years are the distance light can travel in a full year. They are used because there are really big distances in the universe that are easier to measure with a really large form of measurement (light years).

Is Radioactive decay a way to find the relative age of a rock? True False

galina1969 [7]

To establish the age of a rock or a fossil, researchers use some type of clock to determine the date it was formed. Geologists commonly use radiometric dating methods, based on the natural radioactive decay of certain elements such as potassium and carbon, as reliable clocks to date ancient events.

Help me please Which of the following statements best describes the atoms and molecules that make up a glass

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The correct option is;

The atoms and molecules of the liquid water are moving, while the atoms and molecules of the glass are not moving

Explanation:

Matter that exist in the liquid or gaseous state consist of molecules that move freely about in the entire containing medium for gas, while the molecules move freely in the portion of the container occupied by the fluid in the case of liquid fluids

However, the molecules of a solid are fixed within the current shape of the solid and are only free to vibrate within a fixed location and the allow the passage of subatomic particles such as electrons

As such, the glass cup being a solid, consists of molecules fixed in space, while the liquid water consists of molecules which can translate within the portion of the volume of the glass filled with the water.

A hungry monkey is sitting at the top of a tree 69 m above ground level. A person standing on the ground wants to feed the monke

sasho [114]

Answer:

Well if you want to be sure you should just throw it to the ground so then when he lands he can catch it.

If the cannon throws the banana with the same force the monkey falls

(m.g=Fz <=> m.9,81N/kg=...N).

Then the throw will slow down because of the gravitational pull.

Because the banana cannon is selfmade you can choose what mass the bananas in question have, so let that be the same as the monkeys.

The monkey falls with the speed of 9,81m.s => so it takes the monkey 7,1s to land.

If the cannon can shoot the banana at the same speed the monkey falls then they would cross in the middle.

So to do so you need to throw the bananas with a speed of at least 9,81m.s

Soo ... throw them with a force of that is greater then the gravitational pull and things will work out.

I'm sorry I don't know why I wrote all of this irrelevant information it's 2:21 right now and I'm tired.

kind regards

what are three activities in your everyday life that involve electromagnetic energy? and explain what type of electromagnetic en

mihalych1998 [28]

1). While I'm driving the car, I keep my eyes pointed out the front window,

so that LIGHT WAVES coming straight in through the front window get into

them. Using this process, I'm able to SEE what's in front of me, so that I don't

drive straight into it.

2). Also while I'm driving the car, I usually have the radio on, and I tune it

to a frequency where the RADIO WAVES that it responds to are being

modulated by people who are either talking or else playing classical music.

3). Before I leave the house on most days, I take a small container of

frozen Irish oatmeal out of the freezer, and I load it into the big box

above the stove, where MICROWAVE ENERGY thaws it, and warms

it to a nice eating temperature.

3A). When I arrive at my job, I usually do things that are also associated

in some way with MICROWAVE energy, since I work as a microwave

system design engineer. Most of the time it's just paperwork, but there

ARE times when I work with an actual radio that's either generating or

detecting real microwave energy, and either sending it up to, or receiving

it down from, a big dish antenna on a radio tower. Those are the days that

I like the best.
