Answer: The correct answer is Option b. Distance.

Explanation:

Scientists and astronomers use this unit to measure the distance in space. A light year is a unit of distance and not time because light travels very fast and it travels a lot of distance in one year.

Light year is basically defined as how far the beam of light travels in a year.

Therefore, this light year is a unit of distance. Hence, the correct option is option b.

1\text{ light year}=5.879\times 10^{12}miles

Please show work : A particle with mass 2.00 μg and a charge of – 200 nC has a velocity of 3000 m/s in the x-direction. There is
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

 x =4.5 10⁴ m

Explanation:

To find the distance that the particle moves we must use the equations of motion in one dimension and to find the acceleration of the particle we will use Newton's second law

     m = 2.00 mg (1 g / 1000 ug) (1 Kg / 1000g) = 2.00 10-6 Kg

     q = -200 nc (1C / 10 9 nC) = -200 10-9 C

Let's calculate the acceleration

     F = ma

     F = q E

     a = qE / m

     a = -200 10⁻⁹ 1000 / 2.00 10⁻⁶

     a = 1 10² m / s²

Let's use kinematics to find the distance traveled before stopping, where it has zero speed (Vf = 0)

     Vf² = Vo² -2 a x

     0 = Vo² - 2 a x

     x = Vo² / 2a

     x = 3000²/ 2100

     x =4.5 10⁴ m

This is the distance the particule stop, after this distance in the field accelerates in the opposite direction of the initial

Second part

In this case Newton's second law is applied on the y axis

      F -W = 0

      F = w = mg

      E q = mg

      E = mg / q

      E = 2.00 10⁻⁶ 9.8 / 200 10⁻⁹

      E = 9.8 10⁵ C

       

The direction of the field is such that the force on the particle is up, as the particle has a negative charge, the field must be directed downwards F = qE = (-q) E

A grasshopper jumps straight up at 5.33 m/s. How much time does it take for it to return to earth? If u know please help.
sattari [20]
1) Time to get the highest point of it pathway>

Vf = Vo - g*t

Vf = 0 (condition of maximum height)
Vo = 5.33 m/s
g = 9.81 m/s

=> t = Vo / g = 5.33 m/s / 9.81 m/s = 0.543 s

2) Time to return from the highest point = time to get to the highest point = 0.543 s

Total time = 0.543s + 0.543 s = 1.086 s ≈ 1.09 s

Answer: 1.09 s

What is the molarity (concentration) of 25.2 grams of NaF dissolved in a total volume of 0.75 liters?
vodka [1.7K]

Answer: concentration c = 25.2 g /(41.99 g/mol × 0.75 l)

Explanation: M(NaF) = 41.99 g/mol and amount of substance n = m/M.

Concentration c = n/V
