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

Answer:

C. 2 mph

Explanation:

speed equals total distance covered in total time of of travel

since,

total distance = 4 miles

time taken = 2 hrs

speed = 4m / 2hrs =2mph

Which statement is true about a planet’s orbital motion?
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Orbital motion results when the object’s forward motion is balanced by a second object’s gravitational pull.

Explanation:

The gravitational force is responsible for the orbital motion of the planet, satellite, artificial satellite, and other heavenly bodies in outer space.

When an object is applied with a velocity that is equal to the velocity of the orbit at that location, the body continues to move forward. And, this motion is balanced by the gravitational pull of the second object.

The orbiting body experience a centripetal force that is equal to the gravitational force of the second object towards the body.

The velocity of the orbit is given by the relation,

                                    V = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R + h} }

Where

                   V - velocity of the orbit at a height h from the surface

                    R - Radius of the second object

                    G - Gravitational constant

                    h - height from the surface

The body will be in orbital motion when its kinetic motion is balanced by gravitational force.

                         1/2 mV^{2} = GMm/R

Hence, the orbital motion results when the object’s forward motion is balanced by a second object’s gravitational pull.

If you want the ball to land in your hand when it comes back down, should you toss the ball straight upward, in a forward direct
denpristay [2]

Straight upward

the ball moves in the forward direction with your walking speed at all times. If you want the ball to land in your hand when it comes back down, you should toss the ball straight upward.

<h3>What is Projectile motion ?</h3>

Projectile motion is the motion of an object thrown (projected) into the air.

  • After the initial force that launches the object, it only experiences the force of gravity. The object is called a projectile, and its path is called its trajectory

  • A projectile can be a thrown ball, a bullet or a springboard diver ... Except for air resistance, the forward velocity of any projectile is constant and is equal to the initial velocity when it was released.

Select all that apply. Which of the following are characteristics of acids? contain hydroxide ion or produce it in a solution ta
julia-pushkina [17]
These are the characteristics that apply:

 - In a solution taste sour: which is consequence of the H+ concentration.

- Corrode metals: the H+ ion reacts with the metal producing a salt and water

-Produce hydronium ion in solution: as per the Bronsted - Lowry definition an acid is a substance that donates a proton, H+. This proton will react with H2O to form H3O+ (hydronium), as per this scheme: 

HA + H2O --> A(-) + H3O(+)

A box of mass 14 kg sits on an inclined surface with an angle of 52degrees. What is the component of the weight of the box along
kolezko [41]
First, we calculate for the weight of the object by multiplying the given mass by the acceleration due to gravity which is equal to 9.8 m/s²
                       Weight = (14 kg)(9.8 m/s²)
                          Weight = 137.2 N
The component of the weight that is along the surface of the inclined plane is equal to this weight times the sine of the given angle. 
                         Weight = (137.2 N)(sin 52°)
                               weight = 108.1 N
