A parsec is an astronomical unit of distance where 1 parsec = 3.26 light years (1 light year equals the distance traveled by lig

ht in one year). If the speed of light is 186,000 mi/s, calculate the distance in meters of an object that travels 9.5 parsecs.

Answer:

2932016616×10⁸ m

Explanation:

1 parsec = 3.26 light years

Speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s

Distance = Speed × Time

Distance traveled by light in one year

3×10⁸×365.25×24×60×60

3.26 light years = 3.26×3×10⁸×365.25×24×60×60 = 308633328 ×10⁸m

⇒ 1 parsec = 308633328 ×10⁸m

9.5 parsecs = 9.5×308633328×10⁸

⇒9.5 parsecs = 2932016616×10⁸ m

Distance in meters of an object that travels 9.5 parsecs is 2932016616×10⁸ m

If 3600 j of work is done in 3.0 s what is the power<br>0.00083W<br>1200W<br>3600W<br>11000W
Viktor [21]

Answer:

1200 W

Explanation:

Power is given by the ratio between work done and time taken:

P=\frac{W}{t}

where W is the work done and t the time taken.

In this problem, W = 3600 J and t = 3.0 s. Therefore, the power in this exercise is

P=\frac{3600 J}{3.0 s}=1200 W

All of the alkali metals, Group 1, have one valence electron. Which of these would represent the oxidation number of the alkali
melamori03 [73]
The elements found in the Group 1, or the Alkali Metal Group, have electronic configurations that end in s^{1}.This means that they have 1 electron readily available to release in order to achieve a stable state. 

When these atoms release the valence electron, they will achieve a stable state. For example, Lithium's stable state will be Li^{+} and Sodium will be Na^{+}. 

The oxidation state will then be +1. 

The answer is C.
