I believe that would be 1,080,000,000 Kilometers per hour- lmk if that helps

1 day  =  86,400 seconds

1 mile  =  1,609.344 meters

Speed  =  (3 x 10⁸ m/s) x (86,400 s/da) x (1 mi/1,609.344 m)

Speed  =  (3 x 10⁸ x 86,400 x 1 / 1,609.344) (meter-sec-mile/sec-day-meter)

<em>Speed  =  1.61 x 10¹⁰ mile/day</em>

Speed  =  16.1 gigamiles per day

Please I need help! This is the last question I need for this assignment!
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

When the same amount of heat is added to cold sand and cold water, the temperature change of sand will be higher because of its lower specific heat capacity.

What is specific heat capacity?

Specific heat capacity is the quantity

of heat required to raise a unit mass of

a substance by 1 kelvin.

Specific heat capacity of water and sand

{<em>refer to the above attachment}</em>

Δθ = Q/mc

Thus, for an equal mass of water and sand, when the same amount of heat is added to cold sand and cold water, the temperature change of sand will be higher because of its lower specific heat capacity.

How are changes in energy and matter related
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

According to Einstein's famous equation, matter can convert into energy (and viceversa) as follows:

E=mc^2

where

E is the energy

m is the mass

c is the speed of light (3\cdot 10^8 m/s)

Given the huge value of c^2, we see that even a tiny amount of matter is able to release a huge amount of energy, when the whole mass is converted into energy. This is precisely what happens in nuclear reactions. For example, in the process of nuclear fusion (that occurs in the core of the stars), two light nuclei fuse together into a heavier nucleus. The mass of the final nucleus is lower than the total mass of the initial nuclei, so part of the mass has been converted into energy according to the equation above: this is why the amount of energy produced by stars is so big.

What do lenses do?
Dovator [93]
A convex lens makes light rays converge (come together) at the focal point or focus. The distance from the center of the lens to the focal point is the focal length of the lens. Convex lenses are used in things like telescopes and binoculars to bring distant light rays to a focus in your eyes.

Suppose that you changed the area of the bottom surface of the friction cart without changing its mass, by replacing the Teflon
insens350 [35]

Answer:

in this case the weight of the vehicle does not change , consequently the friction force should not change

Explanation:

The friction force is a macroscopic manifestation of the interactions of the molecules between the two surfaces, this force in the case of solid is expressed by the relation

          fr = μ N

          W-N= 0

          N = W

as in this case the weight of the vehicle does not change nor does the Normal one, consequently the friction force should not change
