Weight is relative to gravity. You weigh more on a planet or area that has more gravity because it is pulling you down more. Mass is a measure of how much matter there is but weight is the measure of the pull of gravity on an object

Ultraviolet light from a distant star is traveling at 3.0 × 108 m/s. how long will it take for the light to reach earth if it mu
castortr0y [4]

Given speed and the distance that must be covered, the time it will take the ultraviolet light to reach the earth is 3.7 × 10⁴ hours.

<h3>What is Speed?</h3>

Speed is simply referred to as distance traveled per unit time.

Mathematically, Speed = Distance ÷ time.

Given the data in the question;

  • Speed of the Ultraviolet light c = 3.0 × 10⁸m/s = 1.08 × 10⁹km/h
  • Distance it must cover d = 4.0 × 10¹³km
  • Time elapsed t = ?

We substitute our given values into the expression above.

Speed = Distance ÷ time

1.08 × 10⁹km/h = 4.0 × 10¹³km ÷ t

t = 4.0 × 10¹³km ÷ 1.08 × 10⁹km/h

t = 3.7 × 10⁴ hrs

Therefore, given speed and the distance that must be covered, the time it will take the ultraviolet light to reach the earth is 3.7 × 10⁴ hours.

a parallel circuit is sometimes called a because the current splits up among all the resistors in the parallel circuit
Ahat [919]
A parallel circuit is sometimes called a current divider because current splits up among all the resistors in the parallel circuit. In addition, the current through the branches is inversely proportional to the resistance of the branch. If the resistance in each branch is kept constant but the voltage is decreased, the current will decrease.

A girl is sitting in a sled sliding horizontally along some snow (there is friction present). The mass of the girl is 29.8 kg an
jonny [76]

Answer:

28.81 m

Explanation:

Ff = -123

m * a  = -123

(29.8+10.3) * a = -123

a = -123/40.1 = -3.07

We know,

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

0^2 = 13.3^2 + 2*(-3.07)*s

s = 176.89/6.14 = 28.81
