<span>A light-year is the total distance that light can travel in 1 year. Since, We know the speed of light (c) in vacuum= 299792458 metres per second And, there are 365.25 days in an year, or t= (365.25*24*60*60) seconds Hence a light-year (d)=c*t =299792458Ă—365.25Ă—24Ă—60Ă—60 metres =9,460,730,472,580,800 metres â‰9.46073Ă—10^15 metres</span>

What is an elastic collision?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

A collision in which both total momentum and total kinetic energy are conserved

Explanation:

In classical physics, we have two types of collisions:

- Elastic collision: elastic collision is a collision in which both the total momentum of the objects involved and the total kinetic energy of the objects involved are conserved

- Inelastic collision: in an inelastic collision, the total momentum of the objects involved is conserved, while the total kinetic energy is not. In this type of collisions, part of the total kinetic energy is converted into heat or other forms of energy due to the presence of frictional forces. When the objects stick together after the collision, the collisions is called 'perfectly inelastic collision'

You hear a sound in the distance. Suddenly the sound gets deeper, decreasing in pitch. Which can you assume about the sound wave
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

A. The wavelengths of the new sound waves are longer

Explanation:

This is the Doppler effect which can be best illustraded  for the case of a siren of an ambulance approaching us having a greater frequency and getting lower in frequency and deeper as the ambulance passes  us.

Since the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency it follows the wavelengths are longer when the frequency decreases lowering its pitch and getting deeper.

The battery of a flashlight develops 3 V, and the current through the bulb is 200 mA.What power is absorbed by the bulb?
Verizon [17]

Answer : The power absorbed by the bulb is, 0.600 W

Explanation :

As we know that,

Power = Voltage × Current

Given:

Voltage = 3 V

Current = 200 mA = 0.200 A

Conversion used : (1 mA = 0.001 A)

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

Power = Voltage × Current

Power = 3V × 0.200 A

Power = 0.600 W

Thus, the power absorbed by the bulb is, 0.600 W
