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!

If an atom has 8 protons. How many electrons does it have? What is the atoms charge?

Juli2301 [7.4K]

The amount if protons is the same as the amount of electrons, so it would be 8. The charge is -2. Look at oxygen in the periodic table.

If the molecule could move upward without colliding with other molecules, then how high would it go before coming to rest? Give

tankabanditka [31]

The maximum height at which nitrogen molecule will go before coming to rest is 14 kilometers.

Given:

The nitrogen gas molecule with a temperature of 330 Kelvins is released from Earth's surface to travel upward.

To find:

The maximum height of a nitrogen molecule when released from the Earth's surface before coming to rest.

Solution:

The maximum height attained by nitrogen gas molecule = h
The temperature of nitrogen gas particle = T = 330 K

The average kinetic energy of the gas particles is given by:

$K.E=\frac{3}{2}K_bT\\\\K.E=\frac{3}{2}\times 1.38\times 10^{-23} J/K\times 330 K\\\\K.E=6.381\times 10^{-21} J$

The nitrogen molecule at its maximum height will have zero kinetic energy as all the kinetic energy will get converted into potential energy

The potential energy at height h = $P.E = 6.381\times 10^{-21} J$
Molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28.0134 g/mol
Mass of nitrogen gas molecule = m

$m= \frac{ 28.0134 g/mol}{6.022\times 10^{23} mol^{-1}}=4.652\times 10^{-23} g\\\\1g=0.001kg\\\\m=4.652\times 10^{-23}\times 0.001 kg\\\\=4.652\times 10^{-26} kg$

The acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s^2
The maximum height attained by nitrogen gas molecule = h
The potential energy is given by:

$P.E=mgh$

$6.381\times 10^{-21} J=4.652\times 10^{-26} kg\times 9.8 m/s^2\times h\\\\h=\frac{6.381\times 10^{-21} J}{4.652\times 10^{-26} kg\times 9.8 m/s^2}\\\\h=13,996.6 m\\\\1 m = 0.001 km\\\\h=13,996.6 m=h=13,996.6\times 0.001 k m\\\\=13.9966 km \approx 14 km$

The maximum height at which nitrogen molecule will go before coming to rest is 14 kilometers.
