Answer: The distance of the earth from the sun is 1.494\times 10^{11}m

Explanation:

Speed of light = 3.00\times 10 ^8 m/s

Time taken to travel from sun to earth = 8.30 mins = 8.3\times 60=498sec    (1min=60 s)

As we know ; Speed is defined as the distance travelled per unit time.

Distance=speed\times time

Hence distance between sun and earth =3.00\times 10^8m/s\times 498s=1.494\times 10^{11}m

Thus the distance of the earth from the sun is 1.494\times 10^{11}m

A sports car and a fully loaded semi truck pull side by side at a red light. Using your knowledge of acceleration, predict which
Len [333]
According to Newtons second law of motion:

a =  \frac{F}{m}

This shows, acceleration and mass are inversely proportional. So, larger the mass, less will be the acceleration produced and vice versa.

In case of a sports car and a fully loaded truck, the mass of truck is a lot more than the sports car. As a result the sports car will accelerate faster when the traffic light turns green.

I need to make up an experiment !! Please help
katen-ka-za [31]

Question: Baking a Cake Without Flour.

Hypothesis: I think that when I remove the flour from the standard cake recipe, I'll end up with a flat but tasty cake.

Procedure: I baked two cakes during my experiment. For my control, I baked a cake following a normal recipe. I used the Double Fudge Cake recipe on page 292 of the Betty Crocker Cookbook. For my experimental cake, I followed the same recipe but left out the flour. I first obtained a 2-quart mixing bowl.  

Results: My control cake, which I cooked for 25 minutes, measured 4 cm high.  Eight out of ten tasters that I picked at random from the class found it to be an acceptable dessert. After 25 minutes of baking, my experimental cake was 1.5 cm high and all ten tasters refused to eat it because it was burnt to a crisp.

What did I learn?/Conclusion: Since the experimental cake burned, my results did not support my hypothesis.  I think that the cake burned because it had less mass, but cooked for the same amount of time.  I propose that the baking time be shortened in subsequent trials.

I hope this helped :))

Which substance is used to remove rust from metal
wel
<span>Chemically speaking, rust is a base and any acid will remove it. The choice of acid is going to be the thing to consider, since acid + base = salt and water. Phosphoric acid left a residue because the salt Iron phosphate is insoluble in water. Iron's soluble salts include the chloride, the sulfate and the nitrate. Industrially speaking, you need to "pickle" your iron. Pickling is a process in which dilute sulfuric acid is used to remove any surface corrosion prior to either painting or plating an iron surface. Sulfuric acid is ordinary battery acid and the salt Iron sulfate is not toxic. Sulfuric acid is one of the most common acids used (besides hydrochloric acid). The dilute kind is not terribly corrosive but concentrated sulfuric acid is a thick, syrupy liquid which can cause some nasty chemical burns if allowed to remain on the skin. It also heats up quite a lot when water is added, so this is an "Acid to water not water to acid" situation. The other choice is Hydrochloric acid, known as muriatic acid. The 20% concentrate is available in nearly any hardware store. It isn't as corrosive as concentrated sulfuric acid, but it has a burning, acrid stench, so never use the concentrate without adequate ventilation. It is ordinarily used to remove hard water deposits (boiler scale) but does a good on on rust as well. Concentrated Iron chloride isn't entirely inert but lots of rinsing will turn it back into harmless rust/sludge, especially if the rince water is naturally hard. Nitric acid will remove corrosion from anything, but it is extremely corrosive, smells worse then Hydrochloric acid and isn't easy to get, since it can be used to create some powerful explosives</span>
