Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Data

light speed = 300 000 km/s

a) Express it in scientific notation

to do it, we just move the decimal point 5 places to the left

         300 000 = 3.0 x 10 ⁵ km/s

b) Convert this value to meters per hour

  (300 000 km/s)(1000 m/1 km)(3600 s/1 h) = 300000x1000x3600 / 1x1x1

                                                                        = 1.08 x 10¹² m/h

c) What distance in centimeters does light travel in 1 s?

data

v = 300 000 km/s

d = ?

t = 1 s

 formula   v = d/t      we clear distance     d = vxt

                                  d = 300000 x 1 = 300000 km

                                   d = 300000000 m = 30000000000 cm

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Balanced.

Explanation:

A Balanced Chemical equation is a scientific term that describes a chemical equation that has the same number of atoms on each side of the equation.

Hence, when the number of atoms on the right side of a chemical equation matches the number of atoms on the left side of a chemical equation, it is said to be BALANCED.

An inventor claims to have developed a power cycle having a thermal efficiency of 40%, while operating between hot and cold rese
lesya [120]

From Carnot's theorem, for any engine working between these two temperatures:


efficiency <= (1-tc/th) * 100


Given: tc = 300k (from question assuming it is not 5300 as it seems)

For a, th = 900k, efficiency = (1-300/900) = 70%

For b, th = 500k, efficiency = (1-300/500) = 40% 

For c, th = 375k, efficiency = (1-300/375) = 20% 


Hence in case of a and b, efficiency claimed is lesser than efficiency calculated, which is valid case and in case of c, however efficiency claimed is greater which is invalid.
