Explanation:
<u>Time Units Conversion</u>
Sometimes we need to express magnitudes in different units, depending on the specific situation handled in the question or problem at hand. Magnitudes like length, time, mass, temperature, pressure, etc., can be expressed in several different units.
The most common units for time are years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds. There are 3,600 seconds in one hour and 24 hours in one day.
We are given the estimated age of the universe as 14 billion solar years. If one solar year is 365.25 days long, then the age, expressed in days is
14,000,000,000 * 365.25 days
Some quantities need to be expressed in scientific notation. This is the case since the numbers are too high
There are 24*3600=86400 seconds in one day, so
The estimated age of the universe is
The mirror formula for curved mirrors is:
where
f is the focal length of the mirror
is the distance of the object from the mirror
is the distance of the image from the mirror
The sign convention that should be used in order to find the correct values is the following:
-
: positive if the mirror is concave, negative if the mirror is convex
-: positive if the image is real (located on the same side of the object), negative if it is virtual (located on the opposite side of the mirror)
where
f is the focal length of the mirror
The sign convention that should be used in order to find the correct values is the following:
-
