Answer:

6.71 × 10^8 mi/hr

Explanation:

Light is usually defined as an electromagnetic wave that is comprised of a definite wavelength. It is of both types, visible and invisible. The light emitted from a source usually travels at a speed of about 3 × 10^8 meter/sec. This speed of light is commonly represented by the letter 'C'.

To write it in the metric system, it has to be converted into miles/hour.

We know that,

1 minute = 60 seconds

60 minutes = 1 hour

1 kilometer = 1000 meter

1 miles = 1.6 kilometer

Now,

= \frac{3 \times\ 10^8 meter \times\ 60 sec \times\ 60 min}{1 sec \times\ 1 min \times\ 1 hr}

= 1.08 × 10^12 m/ hr (meter/hour)

= \frac{1.08 \times\ 10^{12} meter \times\ 1 km \times\ 1 miles}{1 hr \times\ 1000 meter \times\ 1.6 km}

= 6.71 × 10^8 mi/hr (miles/hour)

Thus, the value for speed of light (C) in metric unit is 6.71 × 10^8 mi/hr.

An eccentric inventor attempts to levitate a cork ball by wrapping it with foil and placing a large negative charge on the ball
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

because of the idea that like charges get repulsion as a force.

Explanation:

because you wrap the ball with foil, the negative charges will leave the foil and go into the ball by induction. This leaves the foil as a positively charged particle since its electrons left it for the ball, making the ball a negatively charged particle. but if you bring the negative charge near the foil, the electrons will transfer from that and go into the foil, making it negatively charged. Now, because the ball and the foil have the same charge, they repel. the foil flies off.

In the z-scheme ____ is the initial electron donor and ____ is the final electron acceptor.
Alenkinab [10]

In the z-scheme, water is the initial electron donor and NADP+ is the final electron acceptor.

<u>Explanation: </u>

It is a process of photosynthesis. It occurs in photosynthetic chemical reaction. The z scheme is basically a term for representing the oxidation and reduction reaction occurring in plants during photosynthesis.

The water present in the chlorophyll pigment donates electrons and become the initial electron donor. Those electrons get transferred to NADP+ and forms NADPH. Thus, water acts as electron donor initially and so the final electron is NADP+.

An astronaut throws a wrench in interstellar space. How much force is required to keep the wrench moving continuously with const
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

0 N

Explanation:

This is a trick question, the mass of the wrench would be 0 due to it being in space and has no gravitational pull to weight it down. And since acceleration is defined as the rate and change of velocity with no respect of time and the wrench is moving at a constant velocity, that means the velocity is 0. and since F = m*a it would be F = 0 * 0 = 0 N

A block of aluminum measures 4.0 cm x 5.0 cm x 2.0 cm is completely immersed in a tank of water.
Aneli [31]

Answer:

upthrust or BUOYANT FORCE =Vdg

volume=LWH

upthrust=(4cm×5cm×2cm)×1g/cm²×g

upthrust=40cm³×1g/cm³×g

upthrust=40gf or 0.04kg×10m/s²=0.4N

weight of the displaced liquid is upthrust.

so mass=40g or 0.04kg

upthrust=40gf or 0.4Nand mass of the displaced liquid=40g or 0.04kg

please mark brainliest, hope it helped
