Using the precise speed of light in a vacuum (299,792,458 \ \frac{m}{s}), and your given distance of 1.152 * 10^{8} km, we can convert and cancel units to find the answer. The distance in m, using \frac{1000 \ m}{1 \ km}, is 1.152 * 10^{11} m. Next, for the speed of light, we convert from s to min, using \frac{1 \ min}{60 \ s}, so we divide the speed of light by 60. Finally, dividing the distance between the Sun and Venus by the speed of light in km per min, we find that it is 6.405 min.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
First, let us derive our working equation. We all know that pressure is the force exerted on an area of space. In equation, that would be: P = F/A. From Newton's Law of Second Motion, force is equal to the product of mass and gravity: F = mg. So, we can substitute F to the first equation so that it becomes, P = mg/A. Now, pressure can also be determined as the force exerted by a fluid on an area. This fluid can be measure in terms of volume. Relating volume and mass, we use the parameter of density: ρ = m/V. Simplifying further in terms of height, Volume is the product of the cross-sectional area and the height. So, V = A*h. The working equation will then be derived to be:

P = ρgh

This type of pressure is called the hydrostatic pressure, the pressure exerted by the fluid over a known height. Next, we find the literature data of the density of seawater. From studies, seawater has a density ranging from 1,020 to 1,030 kg/m³. Let's just use 1,020 kg/m³. Substituting the values and making sure that the units are consistent:

P = (1,020 kg/m³)(9.81 m/s²)(11 km)*(1,000 m/1km)
P = 110,068,200 Pa or 110.07 MPa

Pavel [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

The way to show a cubed substance is either like this³ or like this x^3. The small three is found at the bottom toolbar at the bottom of the question space marked by the  Ω symbol.

100 mmHg

Givens

V1 = 20 cm^3

V2 = 80 cm^3

P1 = 400 mmHg

P2 = ?

Formula

V1 * P1 = V2 * P2

Solution

20 * 400 = 80 * P2              Divide by 80

20 * 400/80 = P2

P2 = 8000 / 80

P2 = 100 mmHg
