1 astronomical unit 1 AU = 1.4960 * 10^11 meters
it is the average distance between earth and sun
mercury to sun distance is = 46,000,000 * 1000 meters
= 4.6 * 10^9 meters = 4.6 * 10^9 / 1.4960 * 10^11 AU
= 3.0.74 / 100 = 0.0374 AU
Answer:
In some situations, matter demonstrates wave behavior rather than particle behavior. This is best illustrated by which phenomenon is:
<u>C. Interference patterns of </u><u>electrons</u><u>.</u>
Answer:
D
Explanation:
1.) The reaction is at dynamic equilibrium.
A: Nitrogen and hydrogen combine at the same rate that ammonia breaks down.
2.) Which statement about the reaction is necessarily correct?
A: Both calcium carbonate and sodium carbonate are being produced.
3.) Both calcium carbonate and sodium carbonate are being produced.
A: The reaction is reversible.
4.) What is the fastest motion that can be measured in any frame of reference?
A: 300,000 km/s
5.) Two people are on a train that is moving at 10 m/s north. They are walking 1 m/s south relative to the train. Relative to the ground, their motion is 9 m/s north.
Why are we able to use these motions to describe the motion relative to the ground?
A: The people are moving much slower than the speed of light so the ground acts as a frame of reference.
Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change.
change in speed = (ending speed) - (starting speed) = 9 m/s.
Acceleration = (9 m/s) / (period of 1) .
We don't know the units of the 'period of 1'.
If it means '1 second', then the acceleration is 9 m/s² .
The ancient astronomers think areas of the moon called mares might be Seas.
Option D
<u>Explanation</u>:
The surface area of Earth's moon is dark, large, and is basaltic plains which are formed by ancient volcanic eruptions. They were dubbed as Maria, "ancient astronomers" who misunderstood them as actual seas. They are less reflective than highlands. Due to their iron-rich composition, they tend to appear dark from the naked eye. The Maria cover approximately about 16% of surface mostly on side that is visible from Earth. The few Maria on side that is too far are much smaller and residing mostly in very large craters. The ancient astronomers mistook the surface area as look like actual seas.
