A light-year is defined as the distance the light can cover in one year.

The light travels at speed of c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s, and one year converted into seconds is
1 y = 365  \frac{d}{y} \cdot 24  \frac{h}{d} \cdot  60 \frac{m}{h} \cdot 60  \frac{s}{m}=3.15 \cdot 10^7 s

So the distance covered by the light in one year is
S=vt =(3 \cdot 10^8 m/s)(3.15 \cdot 10^7 s)=9.45 \cdot 10^{15} m
And this is the distance that corresponds to one light-year.

katovenus [111]

Answer:

x = - 3

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 1 | (-3)

x + 3y = 9

- 3x - 3y = - 3

   x + 3y = 9

_____________

- 3x + x = 9 - 3

- 2x = 6

2x = - 6

x = - 3

- 3 + y = 1

y = 1 + 3

y = 4

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider the case of 3 numbers: x, y, and z.  

Then  x/x+y+z + y/x+y+z + z/x+y+z = x+y+z/x+y+z = 1

The same works also for any quantity of numbers.
