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.

How many atoms are in 3.0 moles of NA?
Vanyuwa [196]

Avogadro's number is the number of atoms in one mole of a substance. The number is 6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol. So, if you have 1 mole of carbon atoms, there will be 6.022 x 10^23 atoms in that sample.

Hope this helps

How did the nucleus evolve through time?
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The nucleus represents a major evolutionary transition. As a consequence of separating translation from transcription many new functions arose, which likely contributed to the remarkable success of eukaryotic cells. Here we will consider what has recently emerged on the evolutionary histories of several key aspects of nuclear biology; the nuclear pore complex, the lamina, centrosomes and evidence for prokaryotic origins of relevant players.

A scientist discovers a new type of polymer. What must be true about this polymer?
mixas84 [53]

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A polymer is a large molecule which contains repeating units.

A polymer forms long chain of atoms which are not necessarily arranged in a ring structure. There are not only double bonds between all the carbon atoms, as there can be single bonds or triple bonds between the atoms of a polymer.

A polymer does not contain many different type of molecules as there are many repeating units and not many molecules in a polymer.

A polymer is made of large molecules with repeating units.

Thus, we can conclude that option (D) is the correct answer.
