A light year is a unit of distance. It is a distance that light can travel in a years time which is six trillion miles. It is used to measure the distances in space. To take one example, the distance to the next nearest big galaxy, the Andromeda Galaxy, from earth is 21,000,000,000,000,000,000 km.

How long would it take a 4,560 watt motor to raise a 166 kg piano to an apartment window
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Explanation:

We need the power equation here:

P = W/t where W is work and is defined as

W = F*displacement.

Force is a measure in Newtons, which is also weight. We have the mass of the piano, but we need to find the weight:

w = mg so

w = 166(9.8) so

w = 1600N, rounded to the correct number of sig dig. We use that now in the power equation:

4560=\frac{(1600)(15)}{t} and isolating the unknown:

t=\frac{(1600)(15)}{4560} so

t = 5.3 seconds
