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!

Find the average energy E for (a) An n-state system, in which a given state can have energy 0,,2,...,n . (b) A harmonic oscillat
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

a♦1  E_average = n E₀ / 2 , b) E_average= infinity

Explanation:

The energy values ​​form an arithmetic series, whose sum is

          S = n (a₁ + aₙ) / 2 = n (2a₁ + (n-1) r)/ 2

Where n is the number of terms, a₁ is the first term, aₙ the last term and r is the difference between two consecutive numbers in the series

          r = 2E₀ - 0 = 2E₀

Therefore the sum is

       S = n (0 + n E₀) / 2

      S = n² E₀ / 2

     

The average value is

         E_average = S / n

         E_average = n E₀ / 2

b) the case of harmonic oscillation

We have two possibilities.

- if we take a finite number and terms gives the same previous value

- If we take an infinite number of fears the series gives infinity and the average is also infinite

          E_average= infinity

Where would you except to find the center of gravity of a plastic ruler
VARVARA [1.3K]
You would expect to find the center of gravity in a ruler in the middle because if you were to cut a ruler in half, depending on the center of gravity, you would have two equal pieces, which mean there is equal weight, meaning the middle is the center of gravity

Which figure represents the electric field lines of two negative point charges?<br> Help
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The question is incomplete because the options are not given. We'll solve this question with the options.

There are two properties of negative charges which we have to consider to find the figure of its electrical field.

Firstly, for a negative charge, the electrical field lines are always directed radially outwards and they don't intersect.

Secondly, we know that similar charges repel each other, so there will be no electrical field present directly between these two negative charges. Electrical field line will be present between two charges only when there is a force of attraction.

Taking both of these facts into consideration, the electrical field line between two negatives is represented by the figure below.
