Answer:- 0.134 seconds

Solution:- The speed is given as 2.988*10^8\frac{m}{s} and the circumference is 24900 miles which is same as the distance light have to covered. It asks to calculate the time required to cover this distance by the light.

We need to do unit conversion from miles to meter as the speed is given in meter per second.

1 mile = 1609.34 meter

So, 24900mile(\frac{1609.34meter}{mile})

= 40072566 meters

Know that, speed=\frac{distance}{time}

It's rearranged to time as, time=\frac{distance}{speed}

Let's plug in the values in it:

time=\frac{40072566meter}{2.988*10^8\frac{meter}{second}}

= 0.134 seconds

So, the light would take 0.134 seconds to travel the mentioned speed. The answer without the unit is 0.134.

Which of the following is the best hypothesis?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

B.) If sodium carbonate is added to vinegar, the reaction will absorb heat.

Explanation:

A.) is incorrect because this is not testable. Rather, it is just an opinion that cannot be proven correct or incorrect.

B.) is correct because this statement is testable. Tests need to be run to determine the accuracy of the statement.

C.) is incorrect because this statement explains something that does not need to be tested. It is an example of a physical change when one tears a piece of paper.

D.) is incorrect because this is already a true statement. It is obvious that not all reactions absorb/release heat. While tests could be run to further prove this statement true, it is already considered accurate.

Louisa put a bowl of water and a bowl of sand in the sun. She put a thermometer in each bowl. Then she recorded the temperature
Helen [10]

The experiment that was carried out by Louisa goes to show us that different materials heat up at different rates.

<h3>What is the specific heat capacity?</h3>

The term specific heat capacity just goes to show us the amount of heat that must be absorbed before the temperature of an object would rise by 1 K. In this case, we can see that we have been told that the after 30 minutes, the sand had heated more than the water. This simply implies that the energy that the sand and the water absorbed was able to increase the temperature of the sand mush more than it increased the temperature of the water.

Thus we can see that the heat capacity of the sand is much less than the heat capacity of the water since the sand could be able to be heated up much faster than the the water could be heated up.
