A light year is the DISTANCE light travels through vacuum in 1 year.

If light is traveling through vacuum, then it's traveling at the speed of light in vacuum. If a student at home at the beginning of the trip is holding the clock, then ...

Traveling 1 light year takes 1 year.

Traveling 2 light years takes 2 years.

Traveling 3 light years takes 3 years.

Traveling 10 light years takes 10 years.

If the light is traveling through some other substance, or if the clock is traveling along with the light, then these numbers all change.

YOU cannot travel at the speed of light. We have to just leave it at that

Student pushes a 50 N block across the floor for a distance of 15 m how much work was done to move the block
Talja [164]

Answer:

750 J

Explanation:

We have a student that pushes a 50N block  across the floor for a distance of 15m. The question is asking how much work was done to move the block.

To solve this, we must know that we are looking for a certain thing called joules. And to get the answer, we must follow the formula of W = FS

F being the force and S being the distance.

W = FS

W = (50)(15)

W = 750

Therefore, 750 joules is our answer.

Bromination of alkenes ?
Stells [14]
Chemistry - Bromination. Bromination: Any reaction or process in which bromine (and no other elements) are introduced into a molecule. Bromination of an alkene by electrophilic addition of Br2.

How does bromination of alkenes work?
Alkenes react in the cold with pure liquid bromine, or with a solution of bromine in an organic solvent like tetrachloromethane. The double bond breaks, and a bromine atom becomes attached to each carbon. The bromine loses its original red-brown color to give a colorless liquid.

In the child's game of tetherball, a rope attached to the top of a tall pole is tied to a ball. Players hit the ball in opposite
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

the ball is moving circular around the pole

Angular momentum of the system is constant

              J = I ω

now,

               \omega\ \alpha\ \dfrac{1}{I}

               \omega\ \alpha\ \dfrac{1}{mr^2}

               \omega\ \alpha\ \dfrac{1}{r^2}

the rope radius is decreasing as it revolving around the pole

angular speed is inversely proportional to radius.

so, the angular speed will increase.

The correct answer is option C
