Given that average speed is distance traveled divided by time, determine the values of m and n when the time it takes a beam of

light to get from the Sun to the Earth (in s) is written in scientific notation. Note: the speed of light is approximately 3.0×108 m/s.

If speed = distance/time , then time = speed/distance.

So...

Speed of light = 3*10^8(m/s)
Average distance from Earth to Sun = 149.6*10^9(m)

Therefore, t=(3*10^8(m/s))/(149.6*10^9(m))

I hope this was a helpful explanation, please reply if you have further questions about the problem.

Good luck!

que ventajas e inconvenientes tienen las energias renovables, el agua del mar, agua embalzada, el sol, el viento
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Ventajas ambientales:

La principal ventaja es la prácticamente es nula la emisión de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI).

* Ayudan a disminuir enfermedades relacionadas con la contaminación.

* No necesitan grandes cantidades de agua para su funcionamiento.

* No crean problemas de basura difíciles de resolver, como la eliminación de residuos nucleares o escorias.

Ventajas económicas:

*Generación de empleos directos (trabajadores de la construcción, desarrolladores, fabricantes de equipo, diseñadores, instaladores, financieros).

* Competencia y reducción de precios de las generadoras tradicionales por tener un nuevo competidor, que asegure confiabilidad del servicio.

ENERGÍA SOLAR INCONVENIENTES:

La instalación de paneles solares en casas o industrias no es barato, además no todas las vivienda pueden instalarse este tipo de paneles. La legislación en cuanto al uso de los paneles solares no es la misma en todo el mundo.

ENERGÍA EÓLICA INCONVENIENTES:

La creación de parques eólicos es muy cara, además hay colectivos que se opinen a la instalación de parques eólicos en tierra porque opinan que afea el paisaje y es peligrosos para las aves que chocan al volar cerca de las hélices de los generadores eólicos.

ENERGÍA DE LAS MAREAS INCONVENIENTES:

El movimiento de las mareas mueve las turbinas. El movimiento de las mareas es capaz de mover turbinas, pero para ello hay que construir represas o aluviones.

Entre los inconvenientes está que la construcción de aluviones es muy cara. Hay oposición de grupos ecologistas que destacan que esta energía puede tener un impacto negativo sobre la fauna acuática. La energía de las mareas puede reducir el flujo de las mareas e impedir el flujo de aguas residuales al mar.
