How far does light travel in 4 days

1 answer:

5 0

Light travels at precisely 299,792,458 metres every second (abbreviated to 3 x 10^8 metres every second but let's be precise)
There are 60 seconds in every minute (299 792 458 x 60 = 17,987,547,480m)
60 minutes in every hour (17,987,547,480 x 60 = 1,079,252,849,000m)
96 hours in 4 days (1,079,252,849,000 x 96 = 10,360,827,350,000m)
Now let's convert to km to make this number (slightly) more manageable
(10,360,827,350,000 / 1000 = 103,608,273,500km)
Light travels 103,608,273,500km in 4 days - that's the equivalent of going around the equator of the earth 813,124 times!

What would happen to a diver who does no exhale while surfacing from a 30 m dive?

sertanlavr [38]

Their lungs would try to expand to about 4 timed the normal volume which would force air into the various body tissues. this can cause a lung expansion injury and it could case air embolism. Air embolism is when air bubbles get trapped in blood vessels. This can lead to a blockage which will could be fatal.

Write a net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when excess hydrochloric acid (aq) and potassium sulfite (aq) are combin

Ket [755]

Answer: The net ionic equation for the given reaction is $2H^+(aq.)+SO_3^{2-}(aq.)\rightarrow H_2O(l)+SO_2(g)$

Explanation:

Net ionic equation of any reaction does not include any spectator ions.

Spectator ions are the ions which do not get involved in a chemical equation. It is also defined as the ions that are found on both the sides of the chemical reaction when it is present in ionic form.

The chemical equation for the reaction of hydrochloric acid and potassium sulfite is given as:

$2HCl(aq.)+K_2SO_3(aq.)\rightarrow 2KCl(aq.)+SO_2(g)+H_2O(l)$

Ionic form of the above equation follows:

$2H^+(aq.)+2Cl^-(aq.)+2K^+(aq.)+SO_3^{2-}(aq.)\rightarrow 2K^+(aq.)+2Cl^-(aq.)+SO_2(g)+H_2O(l)$

As, potassium and chloride ions are present on both the sides of the reaction, thus, it will not be present in the net ionic equation.

The net ionic equation for the above reaction follows:

$2H^+(aq.)+SO_3^{2-}(aq.)\rightarrow SO_2(g)+H_2O(l)$

Hence, the net ionic equation for the given reaction is written above.

How far is my house if I travel 1 mi/min and it takes me 23 minutes to go home

Musya8 [376]

Answer: The answer would be 23 miles

Explanation: If you are traveling 1mi/min for 23 mins you would add 1, 23 times because it is 1 mile PER minute. Therefore it would be 23 miles.
