Answer : Yes, distance measurements based on the speed of light used for objects in space.

Explanation : A light year is measurement of distance that light travel in a one year.

In a one year light travels 9460000000000 kilometer.

We know that, speed of light is $3\times10^{8}\ m/s$

and time is 31536000 seconds in 1 year

so, distance = speed of light X time

Now, the light year is $9.4608\times10^{15} meter$

Example : The nearest star to earth is about 4.3 light year away.

Which equation describes the line containing the points (-2, 3) and (1, 2)

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

$y = \frac{ - 1}{3}x + \frac{7}{3}$

Explanation:

$\frac{y - 3}{2 - 3} = \frac{x + 2}{1 + 2} \\ \ - y + 3 = \frac{x + 2}{3} \\ y = \frac{ - 1}{3}x + \frac{7}{3}$

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

$E = 9.66\times 10^{-6} N/C$

direction is Horizontal

Explanation:

As we know that the string is horizontal here

so the tension force in the string is due to electrostatic force on it

now we will have

$F = qE$

so here the force is tension force on it

$F = 6.57 \times 10^{-2} N$

$Q = 6.80 \times 10^3 C$

now we have

$6.57 \times 10^{-2} = (6.80 \times 10^3)E$

$E = 9.66\times 10^{-6} N/C$

direction is Horizontal

VELOCITY, SPEED, DISTANCE ETC..

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed = distance / time

Velocity = displacement / time

So ,

Speed = 50 km / 0.5 hr = 100 km/h

Velocity = 40 km / 0.5hr = 80 km/h

¿Qué cantidad de calor absorbió una masa de 4 g de cinc al pasar de 20 °C a<br> 180 °C?

Alborosie

(amount of heat)Q = ? , (Mass) m= 4 g , ΔT = T f - T i = 180 c° - 20 °c = 160 °c ,

Ce = 0.093 cal/g. °c

Q = m C ΔT

Q = 4 g × 0.093 cal/g.c° × ( 180 °c- 20 °c )

Q= 4×0.093 × 160

Q = 59.52 cal

I hope I helped you^_^
