Answer:

d=9.462×10^15 meters

Explanation:

<u>Relation between distance, temps and velocity:</u>

d=v*t

t=1year*(365days/1year)*/(24hours/1day)*(3600s/1h)=31536000s

So:

1 light year=d=3*10^8m/s*3.154*10^7s=9.462×10^15 meters

How much in kg is 1 N
Nookie1986 [14]
1 Newton in Earth gravity is the equivalent weight of 1/9.80665 kg on Earth. This is derived using Newton's second law f=ma and assuming Earth gravity of 9.80665 m/s2. 1 N (Earth) = 0.101971621297793 kg.

Your iclicker operates at a frequency of approximately 900 mhz (900x106 hz). what is the approximate wavelength of the em wave p
Umnica [9.8K]
The clicker emits EM (electromagnetic) wave which travels at the speed of light, that is
v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

The frequency is
f = 900mHz = 9 x 10⁸ Hz

Because velocity = frequency * wavelength, the wavelength, λ,  is given by
fλ = v
λ = v/f
   = (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / (9 x 10⁸ 1/s)
   = 1/3 m

Answer:  1/3 m
