<span>The answers are as follows:

(a) how many meters are there in 11.0 light-years?

11.0 light years ( 365 days / 1 year ) ( 24 h / 1 day ) ( 60 min / 1 h ) ( 60 s / 1 min ) ( 2.998x10^8 m/s ) = 1.04x10^17 m

(b) an astronomical unit (au) is the average distance from the sun to earth, 1.50 × 108 km. how many au are there in 11.0 light-years?

1.04x10^17 m ( 1 au / </span>1.50 × 10^8 km <span>) ( 1 km / 1000 m) = 693329.472 au

(c) what is the speed of light in au/h? au/h

</span>2.998 × 10^8 m/s ( 1 au / 1.50 × 10^8 km ) ( 1 km / 1000 m) ( 3600 s / 1 h ) = 7.1952 au/h

In a hydroelectric power plant, 65 m3 /s of water flows from an elevation of 90-m to a turbine-generator, where electricity is g
Mariulka [41]

The electric output of the plant is 48.19 MW

First we need to calculate the water power, it is given by the formula

WP=ρQgh

Here, ρ=1000 kg/m3 is density of water,Q is the flow rate, g is the gravity, and h is the water head

Therefore, WP=1000*65*9.81*90=57388500 W=57.38 MW

Now the overall efficiency of the hydroelectric power plant is given as

η=\frac{electric power}{water power}

Plugging the values in the above equation

0.84=EP/57.38

EP=48.19 MW

Therefore, the electric output of the plant is 48.19 MW.

A 15.0 kg turntable with a radius of 25 cm is covered with a uniform layer of dry ice that has a mass of 9.0 kg. The angular spe
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

 ω₂=1.20

Explanation:

Given that

mass of the turn table ,M= 15 kg

mass of the ice ,m= 9 kg

radius ,r= 25 cm

Initial angular speed ,ω₁ = 0.75 rad/s

Initial mass moment of inertia

I_1=\dfrac{M+m}{2}r^2

I_1=\dfrac{15+9}{2}\times 0.25^2\ kg.m^2

I_1=0.75\ kg.m^2

Final mass moment of inertia

I_2=\dfrac{M}{2}r^2

I_2=\dfrac{15}{2}\times 0.25^2\ kg.m^2

I_2=0.468\ kg.m^2

Lets take final speed of the turn table after ice evaporated =ω₂ rad/s

Now by conservation angular momentum

I₁ ω₁ =ω₂ I₂

\omega_2=\dfrac{0.75\times 0.75}{0.468}\ rad/s

ω₂=1.20

3. Which planet, other than Earth, is confirmed to have water on it?
Nadusha1986 [10]
Mars.

Water exists as small amounts of ice on Mars and as water vapor. It is suspected that Mars used to have flowing water on it, but that there is none left now.
