Considering mass percentages, stars in the vicinity of the sun contain only 2% other elements by mass. Other than the main components, hydrogen and helium, stars have some heavier elements such as carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and iron. These elements are found near or in the star's core and are ejected into space when the star dies.

Answer: -

1) 8.33 minutes

2) 118.39 in/ s

180.43 m/min

10.83 km/ hr

Explanation: -

Speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Distance of the earth from the sun= 93 million miles

We know 1 million = 1,000,000

Also 1 mile = 1609 m

Distance of the earth from the sun= 93 million miles

= 93,000,000 miles.

= 1.5 x 10^{11} m

Time taken = \frac{Distance}{Speed}

= \frac{1.5 x [tex] 10^{11} m}{3 x 10⁸ m/s} [/tex]

= 500 s

= 500/ 60

= 8.33 minutes

2) Distance = 1 mile = 63360 inches

Time taken = 8.92 min

= 8.92 x 60

= 535.2 s

Speed = \frac{distance}{time}

= \frac{63360 inches}{535.2 s}

= 118.39 in/ s

Distance = 1 mile = 63360 inches = 63360 x 2.54 cm = 63360 x 2.54 x 10^{-2} m

Time taken = 8.92 min

Speed = \frac{distance}{time}

= \frac{63360 x 2.54 x [tex] 10^{-2} m}{8.92 min} [/tex]

= 180.43 m/ min

1 m = 10⁻³ Km

1 min = 1/60 hour

1 m /min = 10⁻³ km/ \frac{1}{60 hour}

= 60/1000

=0.06 km/hr

180.43 m / min = 180 x 0.06 km / hr

= 10.93 km / hr

A pure copper penny contains approximately 2.9×1022 copper atoms. Use the following definitions to determine how many ______ of
hammer [34]

Complete question is;

A pure copper penny contains approximately 2.9 × 10^(22) copper atoms.

1 doz = 12

1 gross = 144

1 ream = 500

1 mol = 6.022 × 10^(23)

Use these definitions to determine the following:

A) How many dozens of copper atoms are in a penny.

B) How many gross of copper atoms are in a penny

C) How many reams of copper atoms are in a penny.

D) how many moles of copper atoms are in a penny?

All answers can be rounded to two significant figures

Answer:

A) 2.4 × 10^(21) dozens

B) 2.01 × 10^(20) gross

C) 5.8 × 10^(19) reams

D) 0.048 mol

Explanation:

A) A dozen contains 12.

Therefore, 2.9 × 10^(22) copper atoms will contain;

(2.9 × 10^(22))/12 dozens = 2.42 × 10^(21).

In 2 significant figures, we have;

2.4 × 10^(21) dozens

B) 1 gross = 144

Therefore, 2.9 × 10^(22) copper atoms will contain;

(2.9 × 10^(22))/144 gross ≈ 2.01 × 10^(20) gross

C) 1 ream = 500

Therefore, 2.9 × 10^(22) copper atoms will contain;

(2.9 × 10^(22))/500 reams = 5.8 × 10^(19) reams

D) 1 mol = 6.022 × 10^(23)

Therefore, 2.9 × 10^(22) copper atoms will contain;

(2.9 × 10^(22))/(6.022 × 10^(23)) = 0.048 mol
