A "light year" is not an amount of time. 

It's an amount of distance ... the distance that light travels
through space in one year.

1 light year  =  5,878,625,372,000 miles
                     (rounded to the nearest thousand miles)

1 light-year  =  9,460,730,473,000 kilometers 
                     (rounded to the nearest thousand kilometers)

If an object suspended by a scale shows a weight of 3 N in air, and 2 N when submerged in water, the buoyant force on the submer
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

1 N

Explanation:

Buoyant Force: This is also called upthrust, It can be defined as the force which act upward exerted by a fluid when an object is placed in it.

The S.I unit is Newton.

From the question,

Buoyant force = Weight of the object in air- weight of the object when submerged in water.

U = W-W'.......................... Equation 1

Where U = upthrust, W = weight in air, W' = weight when submerged in water.

Given: W = 3 N, W' = 2 N

Substitute into equation 1

U = 3-2

W = 1 N

A 5.00 kg rock whose density is 4300 kg/m3 is suspended by a string such that half of the rock's volume is under water. You may
12345 [234]

Answer:

The tension on the string is  T  =  43.302 \ N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of the rock is m_r = 5.00 \ kg =  5000 \ g

       The density of the rock is \rho  =  4300 \ kg/m^3 =  4.3 g/dm^3

       

Generally the volume of the rock is mathematically evaluated as

          V    =  \frac{m_r}{\rho}

substituting values

        V    =  \frac{5000}{4.3}

       V    =  1162.7 \  dm^3

The volume of the rock immersed in water is

      V_w = \frac{V}{2}  

substituting values

     V_w = \frac{1162.7 }{2}

     V_w = 581.4 \ dm^3

mass of water been displaced by the this volume is

     m_w  = V_w     According to Archimedes principle

=>   m_w =  581.4 \ g

     m_w =  0.5814 \ kg

The weight of the water displace is  

      W _w =  m_w  * g

      W _w =  0.5814  * 9.8

      W _w = 5.698 \ N

The actual weight of the rock is  

      W_r  =  m_r * g

     W_r  =  5.0 *  9.8

     W_r  =  49.0 \ N

The tension on the string is

       T  = W_r - W_w

substituting values

       T  = 49.0 -  5.698

       T  =  43.302 \ N

Una barra de plata de 335.2 g con una temperatura de 100 ºC se introduce un calorímetro de aluminio de 60 g de masa que contiene
sdas [7]

Respuesta:

0,0560 cal / gºC.

Explicación:

Cantidad de calor; (Q)

Q = mcΔt; Δt = t2 - t1

m = masa, c = capacidad calorífica específica; Δt = cambio de temperatura

c de agua = 1 cal / gºC

c de aluminio = 0,22 cal / gºC

QTotal = Q de agua + Q de aluminio

Q de agua = 450 * 1 * (26 - 23) = 1350 cal

Q de aluminio = 60 * 0.22 * (26 - 23) = 39.6 cal

QTotal = 1350 + 39,6 = 1389,6 cal

Calor perdido = calor ganado

QTotal = calor perdido

- 1389,6 = 335,2 * c * (26 - 100)

-1389,6 = −24804,8 * c

c = 1389,6 / 24804,8

c = 0,056021 cal / gºC.

Capacidad calorífica específica de la plata = 0,0560 cal / gºC.

Gravitational energy can be negative?
AlladinOne [14]

answer:

yes

explanation:

At a separation of the surface of Earth (r=6400km) gravity wants pull the test mass closer and closer. ... So the work done by gravity is NEGATIVE. The gravitational potential energy is negative because us trying to do the opposite of what gravity wants needs positive energy.
