<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
The heat from your hand causes the ice molecules to heat up and become more active. This lowers the stability of the ice cube compound causing it to melt.
"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 .
They are used to separate mixtures into their component compounds but can no usually be used to deprecate compounds into chemical elements or simpler compounds
A defective protein would be produced leading to either that protein cell being killed or developing into a cancer
