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.

Luden [163]

Answer:

e = Δφ / Δt     induced emf is proportional to enclosed flux

Also φ  = B * A      flux is proportional to area and enclosed field

If the induced emf e increases with time than the flux and hence the magnetic field is increasing with time  (replace B with G)

Since e = ΔG * A / Δt    if e is linear then G must also be linear and be proportional to the time

(100 pts)<br>Why can't you use distance divide by time to calculate the instantaneous<br>speed?​
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Instantaneous speed means speed at any instant

that means Speed is changing with time

You know speed is distance/time

So that means distance is also changing with time

So we take infinitesimal small distance per infinitesimal small time As we assume speed is constant in infinitesimal small time dt

So, we take speed = ds/dt

ds = infinitesimal small distance

dt = infinitesimal small time

As its ratio is equal to speed at any instant

Note : We are taking infinitesimal small distance

But :) we are taking infinitesimal small time also

As you know if denominator is small fraction is large So fraction always give large value

So it's not O ( this makes confuse to most of students)

So, thanks

Good question

Keep thinking like this :)

What is the modern<br> Jatomic theory?
torisob [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

The modern atomic theory has given by "John Dalton and framed postulates".

<u>Explanation:</u>

The fundamental role of atoms in chemistry is established by the modern theory of atoms mentioned in 1808 for the first time by an English scientist named John Dalton. This consists of three sections such as all matter is composed of atoms, atoms of the same element are the same while atoms of different elements are different, atoms combine to form compounds in full-number ratios.

The unique characteristic of the "number of protons" is that all atoms of the same compound share. While the atoms of the same element i.e having a similar number of protons can have different numbers of neutrons and such elements are called isotopes.

pishuonlain [190]
<span>10 inches
You are at risk of serious injury if you sit less than 10 inches away from the steering wheel, because of the speed and force the airbag deploys at. This is also part of the reason why driving instructors now instruct you to hold the steering wheel from the lower parts, rather than the top, which can cause your thumbs to break if the air bag deploys.</span>
