"Lightyear" is a <em>distance</em> ... specifically, the distance that light travels
through vacuum in one year of 365 days.

It's equivalent to  9.454 x 10^12 kilometers, or  5.875 x 10^12 miles .

Elena L [17]

Answer:

the Earth-Sun distance.

Explanation:

To measure parallax the base line distance that we need to know is the Earth-Sun distance. This distance is called 1 astronomical unit. This distance is 1.496×10^8 Km. So, this base line distance is necessary for the second link parallax.

You place a 500 g block of an unknown substance in an insulated container filled 2 kg of water. The block has an initial tempera
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

3349J/kgC

Explanation:

Questions like these are properly handled having this fact in mind;

  • Heat loss = Heat gained

Quantity of heat = mcΔ∅

m = mass of subatance

c = specific heat capacity

Δ∅ = change in temperature

m₁c₁(∅₂-∅₁) = m₂c₂(∅₁-∅₃)

m₁ = mass of block = 500g = 0.5kg

c₁  = specific heat capacity of unknown substance

∅₂ = block initial temperature = 50oC

∅₁ = equilibrium temperature of block and water after mix= 25oC

m₂= mass of water = 2kg

c₂ = specific heat capacity of water = 4186J/kg C

∅₃ = intial temperature of water = 20oC

0.5c₁(50-25) = 2 x 4186(25-20)

And we can find c₁ which is the unknown specific heat capacity

c₁ = \frac{2*4186*5}{0.5*25}= 3348.8J/kg C≅ 3349J/kg C

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

9.45179\ m/s^2

s=4.725895t^2

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 0.46

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement = 1 m

a = Acceleration

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 1=0\times 0.46+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 0.46^2\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{1\times 2}{0.46^2}\\\Rightarrow a=9.45179\ m/s^2

The acceleration due to gravity is 9.45179 m/s²

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{1}{2}9.45179t^2\\\Rightarrow s=4.725895t^2

The function is s=4.725895t^2

How is the energy carried per photon of light related to the wavelength of the light?
AveGali [126]

The energy carried per photon of light is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the light

The "quantum of electromagnetic radiation" is called a photon. It is, thus, the tiniest and most basic particle of electromagnetic radiation. A photon is a stable particle that has no mass and no electric charge. The concept of wave-particle duality holds true for this particle.

The distance between the two crests or troughs of the light wave is known as the wavelength of light. It is represented by the greek letter lambda 'λ'

A quantity is inversely proportional if it decreases when the related quantity is increased or vice versa. For example, frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength
