These are five questions and five answers:

a. State the speed in m/sec using scientific notation

i) Find the place value of the digit with the highest place value (the digit most to the left) in the number 300,000,000: hundred millions.

ii) Determine the number of zeros corresponding to that place value: 9

ii) Write the digit with the highest place value, mulitplied by the power of ten with exponent equal to the number of zeros corresponding to the place of such digit less 1 (9 - 1 = 8): 3 × 10⁸

iii) Complete with the units: 3 × 10⁸ m/s ← answer

b. State the speed in km/sec using scientific notation

i) State the conversion factor: 1 km = 1000 m = 10³ m

⇒ 1 = 1 km / 10³ m

ii) Multiply by the conversion factor:

3 × 10⁸ m/s × 1 km / (10³ m)

iii) Simplify (cancel the units that are common in the numerator and denominator)

3 × (10⁸ / 10³) km/s = 3 × 10⁵ km/s ← answer

c. State the number of seconds in one year using scientific notation

i) Find the place value of the digit with the highest place value (the digit most to the left) in the number 32,000,000: ten millions.

ii) Determine the number of zeros corresponding to that place value: 8

ii) Write the digit with the highest place value, as integer, add the other significant figures as decimals, mulitplied by the power of ten with exponent equal to the number of zeros corresponding to the place of the digit with highest place value less 1 (8 - 1 = 7): 3.2 × 10⁷

iii) Complete with the units: 3.2 × 10⁷ s ← answer

d. Calculate the distance in meters of one light year

i) distance formula: distance = speed × time

ii) Replace with the numbers in scientific notation:

distance = 3 × 10⁸ m/s × 3.2 × 10⁷ s

iii) Simplify (due the operations and cancel the units that are common in the numerator and denominator)

3 × 10⁸ m/s × 3.2 × 10⁷ s = 9.6 × 10 ¹⁵ m ← answer

e. State this distance in centimeters

i) State the conversion factor: 1m = 100 cm = 10² cm

⇒ 1 = 10² cm / 1 m

ii) Multiply by the conversion factor: 9.6 × 10 ¹⁵ m × 10² cm / 1 m

iii) Simplily: 9.6 × 10⁷ cm ← answer

A. Jupiter largest and most massive planet in the solar system

Jupiter has a huge permanent storm that looks like a red spot in images

Jupiter has at least 61 moons orbiting it, some of which are very large

Jupiter located closer to the sun than Kuiper Belt

<h3>Which option that best describes the planet Jupiter?</h3>

Jupiter came on fifth number from the sun and the Jupiter is the massive planet present in our solar system. It contains the big storms like great red spot. The surface of the Jupiter is gas made giant but the surface of the Jupiter is not solid, but it may have a solid inner core about the size of Earth.

The Jupiter contain at least 61 moons which orbiting the Jupiter . The life on the Jupiter is impossible because the Jupiter contain very much pressure, it has volatile surface and the temperature of the Jupiter is very hot than that of the earth.

So we can conclude that option A is the right answer.

Allushta [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

A (the entire green box): Chemical Equation

B (the blue box): Reactants

C (the arrow): Reacts to Form

D (the number): Coefficient

E (the purple box): Products

Explanation:

The chemical reaction of burning methane and oxygen is as follows;

Here, the green part A is the chemical equation that includes various parts that are reactants B, methane, and oxygen, C is an arrow that indicates the formation of products.

2 is here coefficient that indicates the moles of the oxygen which forms carbon dioxide and water in box E is products

The answer and how to do it?? Thanks
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

14 m/s²

Explanation:

Start with Newton's 2nd law: Fnet=ma, with F being force, m being mass, and a being acceleration. The applied forces on the left and right side of the block are equivalent, so they cancel out and are negligible. That way, you only have to worry about the y direction. Don't forget the force that gravity has the object. It appears to me that the object is falling, so there would be an additional force from going down from weight of the object. Weight is gravity (can be rounded to 10) x mass. Substitute 4N+weight in for Fnet and 1kg in for m.

(4N + 10 x 1kg)=(1kg)a

14/1=14, so the acceleration is 14 m/s²
