What is the speed in miles per second of a beam of light traveling at 3.00×108m/s?

Physics

vlada-n [284]4 years ago
3 0

Answer: 186411.3 mi/s

Explanation:

We have the speed of light in units of meters per second (\frac{m}{s}):

3(10)^{8} \frac{m}{s}

And we need to express it in miles per second (\frac{mi}{s}), knowing (1 m=0.000621371 miles), then:

3(10)^{8} \frac{m}{s} \frac{0.000621371 miles}{1 m}=186411.3 \frac{mi}{s}

What is the process of evaporation through plant leaves called
Marianna [84]
<h2>Answer: Transpiration </h2>

Vegetal transpiration is the loss of water in the form of vapor, in the plant through its different parts, especially its leaves.

In this process, soil water is absorbed by the roots of the plant and transported in liquid form to the leaves to be converted into water vapor, while a part is used in photosynthesis. That is why vegetal transpiration is considered a vital function in the photosynthesis process.

This is possible because the leaves have small pores that allow water to escape into the atmosphere in the form of vapor and absorb carbon dioxide. Then, most of the water in the plants is used in the process of transpiration and only a small percentage is retained in liquid state and used for its growth and storage.

My answer would be a bowling ball. The rule for inertia is

Mass is that quantity that is solely dependent upon the inertiaof an object. The more inertiathat an object has, the more mass that it has.

Given that rule, if the Bowling Ball, Hammer, Feather, and Tennis Ball were all the standard size, the answer would have to be the bowling ball. MEYBE

Gold has a density of 19.32 g/cm 3 . If you cut a piece of gold in half, the density of each piece will be
maksim [4K]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The density of a substance is an intrinsic property. Intrinsic properties are properties that are characteristic of a material. It does not depend on the amount of substance present.

Since density is an intrinsic or intensive property, If you cut a piece of gold in half, the density of each piece will still be 19.32 g/cm 3 because density does not depend on the size of the gold piece.
