A light year is a measurement of distance that is used in the space. It is the distance that a light traveled for 1 year on Earth or 365 days on Earth at a speed of 3 x 10^8 meters per second. To convert the units from light year to the SI unit meters, we simply make use of the definition of the unit. We do as follows:

18.9 light years ( 365 days / 1 light year ) ( 24 h / 1 day ) ( 3600 s / 1h ) ( 3 x 10^8 m/s) = 1.79 x 10^17 meters

Therefore, 18.9 light years is equal to 1.79 x 10^17 meters.

Properties such as luster conductivity and flexibility are used to describe what type of elements
pickupchik [31]
Answer: metals.

Justification:

There are 118  elements which you can find in the periodic table ordered by atomic number. Those elements my be classified into metals, non-metals and metalloids.

The metals are placed on the left side of the periodic table. The metals share the properties of luster, conductivity and flexibility.

The properties of non-metals (which are on the right side of the periodic table) are opposite to those of metals: opaque, low conductivity and brittle.

Metalloids have in between properties.

Copper, for example is a metal: it has luster, is flexible and is highly conductive of the electricity (and temperature).

What is the difference between flashing point, boiling point and melting point​
sp2606 [1]
<h3><u>Answer and explanation;</u></h3>
  • <u>Melting point</u> is defined as the temperature at which solid and liquid phases are in equilibrium. It is the temperature at which a solid changes state from solid to liquid at atmospheric pressure.
  • <u>Boiling poin</u>t is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of a liquid is equal to the external pressure. It is the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid into a gas.
  • <u>The flash point </u>of a flammable liquid or volatile liquid is the lowest temperature at which it can form an ignitable mixture in air. At this temperature the vapor may cease to burn when the source of ignition is removed.

Kinematics practice problems Answers: 4. A race car is traveling at +76 m/s when is slows down at -9 m/s2 for 4
arlik [135]

The new velocity after 4 s is 40 m/s

The height of the spaceship above the ground after 5 seconds is 1,127.5 m

The given parameters for the first question;

  • initial velocity of the car, u = 76 m/s
  • acceleration of the car, a = - 9 m/s²
  • time of motion, t = 4 s

The new velocity after 4 s is calculated as;

v = u + at

v = 76 + (-9)(4)

v = 76 - 36

v = 40 m/s

(5)

The given parameters;

  • height above the ground, h = 500 m
  • velocity of spaceship, u = 150 m/s
  • time of motion, t = 5

The height of the spaceship above the ground after 5 seconds is calculated as;

h_y = h_0 + ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\h_y = 500 + (150\times 5) -  (0.5\times 9.8 \times 5^2)\\\\h_y = 1,127.5 \ m
