I'm not sure about the distance to the nearest star, but it's probably about        4 light-years (L-y).

1 L-y = 1.86 * 10E5 mi/sec * 3600 sec/hr * 24 hr/day * 365 day/yr

1 L-y = 5.9 *10E12 mi   and 4 L-y = 2.3 *10E13 mi    distance to star

2.3 * 10E13 mi / 900 mi/hr = 2.6 * 10E10 hr       hours to star

2.6 * 10E10 hr / (24 hr/day) = 1.1 * 10E9 day     days to star

1.1 * 10E9 day / 365 day/yr = 3 * 10E6 yr = 3 million years to star

14. Which is the relationship between photon energy and frequency?
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

The amount of energy is directly proportional to the photon's electromagnetic frequency and thus, equivalently, is inversely proportional to the wavelength. The higher the photon's frequency, the higher its energy.

i hope this helps.

How is motion affected by change in mass of an object and forces applied?
densk [106]
Newtons second law says that the acceleration of an object (produced by a net force) is directly proportional to that magnitude of the net force. E.g. F = ma
where F is the net force of an object, m is mass and a is acceleration.
For example, if an object had a large mass, there would have to be more force in order to move it than if it was lighter.  
In a linear motion, if you pushed two objects, one slightly larger than the other, with the same force, the acceleration of the smaller object would be bigger than the larger one. So the motion (change in position over time), of the larger object would be seen as lesser than the smaller one (in a situation where both forces are equal).

Caffeine concentration is 1.99 mg/oz how many cans would be leathal if 10g was leathal and there where 12oz in a can
katovenus [111]

The number of cans that would be considered lethal if 10g was lethal and there where 12oz in a can is 419 cans.

<h3>How to convert mass?</h3>

According to this question, caffeine concentration is 1.99 mg/oz.

1.99 milligrams can be converted to grams as follows:

1.99milligrams ÷ 1000 = 0.00199grams

This means that 0.00199grams per oz is the caffeine concentration.

If there were 12 oz in a can, then, 0.00199grams × 12 = 0.02388 grams in 1 can.

This means that if 10grams is considered lethal, 10grams ÷ 0.02388 grams = 419 cans would be lethal for consumption.

Therefore, the number of cans that would be considered lethal if 10g was lethal and there where 12oz in a can is 419 cans.

The power of the kettle was 2.6 kW
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Cp = 4756 [J/kg*°C]

Explanation:

In order to calculate the specific heat of water, we must use the equation of energy for heat or heat transfer equation.

Q = m*Cp*(T_f - T_i)/t

where:

Q = heat transfer = 2.6 [kW] = 2600[W]

m = mass of the water = 0.8 [kg]

Cp = specific heat of water [J/kg*°C]

T_f  = final temperature of the water = 100 [°C]

T_i = initial temperature of the water = 18 [°C]

t = time = 120 [s]

Now clearing the Cp, we have:

Cp = Q*t/(m*(T_f - T_i))

Now replacing

Cp = (2600*120)/(0.8*(100-18))

Cp = 4756 [J/kg*°C]
