Einstein's theory of special relativity sets of the speed of light, 186,000 miles per second (300 million meters per second). ... The speed of light in a vacuum is 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second), and in theory nothing can travel faster than light.

Answer: 3.0\times 10^8m

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the distance travelled per unit time.

speed=\frac{distance}{time}

Units of speed are inter convertible:

Given : speed = 1.86\times 10^5miles/sec

That is in 1 second ,  light travels = 1.86\times 10^5miles

Converting miles to meters:

1 mile = 1609.34 m

1.86\times 10^5miles=\frac{1609.34}{1}\times 1.86\times 10^5=3.0\times 10^8m

Thus speed of light will be 3.0\times 10^8 meters.

A science teacher has a supply of 50% sugar solution and a supply of 80% sugar solution. How much of each solution should the te
Monica [59]
You can establish a system of two equation with two variables.

Varibles are:
V1 = volume of the 50% sugar solution
V2 = volumen of the 80% sugar solution

Equations:
Balance of sugar:

Sugar from 50% solution: 0.5*V1
Sugar from 80% solution: 0.8*V2
Sugar in the final solution (mix): 0.6 * 105 = 63

1) 0.5V1 + 0.8V2 = 63

Final volume = volume of 50% solution + volume of 80% solution

2) V1 + V2 = 105

From (2) V1 = 105 - V2

Substitue in (1)

0.5 (105 - V2) + 0.8 V2 = 63

52.5 - 0.5V2 + 0.8V2 = 63

0.3 V2 = 63 - 52.5

0.3 V2 = 10.5

V2 = 10.5/0.3
V2 = 35mL

V1 = 105 - 35 = 70 mL

Answer: 70 mL of the 50% solution and 35 mL of the 80% solution.

The chemical formula for the ionic compound aluminum sulfite is Al2(SO3)3. Explain why there are 2 cations for every 3 anions in
svp [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

While trying to write the chemical formula for a compound (a neutral molecule), one must identify and exchange the charge of the cation with that of the anion to become the subscript of one other. For example

Aluminium oxide has Aluminium (Al) and oxygen (O); since Al has a charge of 3+ (the cation) and O has a charge of 2- (the anion), the compound would have it's charges as Al³⁺O²⁻ and when the charges are exchanged to there subscripts, it would form Al₂O₃; thus there would be two cations of aluminium for every three anions of oxygen in order to have a neutral molecule.

This same explanation can be given to Aluminium sulfite. Aluminium sulfite has Aluminium (Al) and sulfite (SO₃). Al has a charge of 3+ (cation) while sulfite has a charge of 2- (anion), with the compound having it's charges as Al³⁺(SO₃)²⁻ and when the charges are exchanged to there subscripts, it would form Al₂(SO₃)₃ and would thus have 2 cations of aluminium (Al³⁺) for every 3 anions of sulfite (SO₃³⁻) in order to have a neutral molecule.
