A light year measure the distance a lightbeam can travel in one year one light year is equivalent to 9500000000000 km why do sci

entist use light years to measure distances in the universe.
Light years are the only practical unit for measuring the distance of space

Light years tell us about the temperature distance and age of their celestial bodies

Light years are the most accurate form of measurement for universal purposes

Light years measure the age of celestial bodies by determining how bright the light is

The product of the nuclear reaction in which 40Ar is subjected to neutron capture followed by alpha emission is ________. The pr
Orlov [11]

Answer:

37S

Explanation:

Radioactivity is the spontaneous emission of particles and / or electromagnetic radiation by unstable atomic nuclei leading to their disintegration.

We have two main types of radioactivity: radioactive decay and artificial transmutation.

In radioactive decay ( natural radioactivity ), a naturally occurring radioactive element like Uranium-238 disintegrates or decays into more stable isotopes with the emission of particles and/or radiation.

23892U = 23490Th + 42He

Artificial transmutation is the collision of two particles where one particle captures the other used to bombard it. There is subsequent production of isotopes similar or different from the bombarded particle. Neutrons, alpha particles ( helium nucleus ), electrons, protons can be used to bombard elements.

147N + 42He = 178O + 11P

For the above question which is artificial transmutation, the reaction equation is

4018Ar + 10n = 3716S + 42He

So, the neutron capture by Argon-40 will produce a radioisotope Sulphur-37 with the emission of an alpha particle.

A 225-g sample of aluminum was heated to 125.5 oc, then placed into 500.0 g water at 22.5 oc. (the specific heat of aluminum is
Sidana [21]
when  heat gained = heat lost 

when AL is lost heat and water gain heat

∴ (M*C*ΔT)AL = (M*C*ΔT) water

when M(Al) is the mass of Al= 225g 

C(Al) is the specific heat of Al = 0.9 

ΔT(Al) = (125.5 - Tf) 

and Mw is mass of water  = 500g

Cw is the specific heat of water = 4.81 

ΔT = (Tf - 22.5) 

so by substitution:

∴225* 0.9 * ( 125.5 - Tf) = 500 * 4.81 * (Tf-22.5)

∴Tf = 30.5 °C

If a object has a mass of 10 kilograms, how much does it weigh in newtons?
Len [333]
Depends on where the object is. On earth, moon , or somewhere without any other mass (theoretically). I think you mean how much does weigh on earth. So, the average gravitational acceleration on earth is : 9.83 m/s^2 To find out how much an object weighs, this is the formula : G=m.g where m is mass of the object g is the gravitational acceleration and G is weight. So, G = 10.9,83 = 98,3 N is the answer.

Water vapor is condensed steam. <br><br> True <br> False
adelina 88 [10]

False, because water vapor, water vapour or aqueous vapor, is the gaseous phase of water. It is one state of water within the hydrosphere. Water vapor can be produced from the evaporation or boiling of liquid water or from the sublimation of ice. Unlike other forms of water, water vapor is invisible.

So what have I done here? First, I had a balanced chemical equation (this is the important step; is it balanced?). Then I used the stoichiometry to get the molar quantity of product, and converted this molar quantity to mass. If this is not clear, I am willing to have another go
