Answer: 4.068(10)^{13} km

Explanation:

A light year is a unit of length and is defined as <em>"the distance a photon would travel in vacuum during a Julian year at the speed of light at an infinite distance from any gravitational field or magnetic field. </em>"

In other words: It is the distance that the light travels in a year.

This unit is equivalent to 9.461(10)^{12}km, which mathematically is expressed as:

1Ly=9.461(10)^{12}km

Doing the conversion:

4.3Ly.\frac{9.461(10)^{12}km}{1Ly}=4.068(10)^{13}km

This is a two part question: What is the force of friction acting on a 100 kg steel slab at rest on a steel floor?
Crazy boy [7]
1) 0N... friction opposes the motion of an object, since the block is at rest there is no motion thus no friction

2) F=ma
= (5.5kg)(30m/s)

Rx: hydrochloric acid 2 percent solution 500 ml. your stock solution of hydrochloric acid is 10 percent. how much of the stock s
Allisa [31]

100 ml

100 ml of the stock solution is required to prepare the order.

We know that C1V1 = C2V2

where C1= 2%

V1 = 500ml

C2= 10%

V2 = ?

V2 = C1V1 / C2

     = 500 * 2% / 10%

     =100

V2 = 100 ml

<h3>What is meant by stock solution?</h3>
  • A stock solution is a sizable amount of a typical reagent in a standardized concentration, like sodium hydroxide or hydrochloric acid.
  • This phrase is frequently used in analytical chemistry while doing operations like titrations where it's crucial to employ precise solution concentrations.
<h3>What distinguishes a standard solution from a stock solution?</h3>
  • The main distinction between stock solution and standard solution is that the former is a highly concentrated solution while the later is a solution whose concentration is precisely known.
  • Because standard solutions frequently arrive as stock solutions, the phrases "stock solution" and "standard solution" are connected.
