Light travels 300,000,000 m/s, and one year has approximately 32,000,000 seconds. A light year is the distance light travels in

one year.
State the speed in m/s, using scientific notation.

Explanation:

The speed of light is 300,000,000 m/s. There are 8 zeros, so in scientific notation, the speed is 3×10⁸ m/s.

No. Terrance cannot move the sled. This is because, the force that he produces is 80*3 Newton’s, which is only 240 Newton’s, but since the sled needs a force of 250 Newton’s, he cannot move the sled (even though the difference is only by 10 Newton’s).

Your friend turns the volume up on their speaker system, so that the sound intensity is 4 times greater than it was beforehand.

erica [24]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

We know that intensity I = P/A where P = power and A = area through which the power passes through.

Now, let the initial intensity of the speaker be I₀ and its initial power be P₀. Since the intensity is increased by a factor of 4, the new intensity be I and new power be P.

So, I = P/A and I₀ = P₀/A

Now, if I = 4I₀,

P/A = 4P₀/A

P = 4P₀

Now, energy E = Pt, where t = time. So, P = E/t and P₀ = E₀/t

Substituting P and P₀ into the equation, we have

P = 4P₀

E/t = 4E₀/t

E = 4E₀

Since the energy is four times the initial energy, the energy output increases by a factor of 4.

The magnetising current in a transformer is rich in ______________ harmonic?

sukhopar [10]

The magnetizing current in a transformer is rich in 3rd harmonic. This is because harmonics are AC voltages and currents with frequencies that are generally higher.

Which would be the best metal to use for the insulated wire?

katrin2010 [14]

Copper, because it has the lowest specific electrical resistance.

specific electrical resistance aka volume resistivity is a fundamental property of a material that quantifies how strongly that material opposes the flow of electric current. A low resistivity indicates a material that readily allows the flow of electric current.

In an experiment the mass of a calorimeter is 36.35 g . Express in micrometer ,millimetre and kg.

Andru [333]

Answer:

1. 36.35 g = 36.35E15 micrometer.

II. 36.35 g = 363.5 millimetre.

III. 36.35 g = 0.03635 kilogram.

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass of calorimeter = 36.35 grams

To convert the mass in grams (g) to;

I. Micrometer

<u>Conversion:</u>

1 g = 1 exp 15 um

36.35 g = X um

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X = 36.35 * 1 exp 15 = 36.35 exp 15 um

<em>36.35 g = 36.35E15 micrometer</em>

II. Millimetre

<u>Conversion:</u>

1 g = 1 milliliter

36.35 g = X milliliter

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X = 36.35 * 1 = 36.35 milliliter

Next, we would convert milliliter to millimetre;

1 milliliter = 10 millimetre

36.35 milliliter = X millimetre

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X = 36.35 * 10 = 363.5 millimetre

<em>36.35 g = 363.5 millimetre</em>

III. Kilogram

<u>Conversion:</u>

1000 grams = 1 kilogram

36.35 g = X kilogram

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X * 1000 = 36.35 * 1

Dividing both sides by 1000, we have;

X = 36.35/1000 = 0.03635 kilogram

<em>36.35 g = 0.03635 kilogram</em>

<u>Note:</u>

g is the symbol for grams.
Exp (E) means exponential = 10
um is the symbol for micrometer.
