A light year is a unit for length that is used for very great distances. This is approximately equal to 9.4607 x 10^12 km. Multiplying this distance to 4.37 will give us an answer of 4.134 x 10^13 km. Dividing this by the speed of light, 3 x 10^8 m/s will give us an answer of,
                                  137810863.3 s 
Also equal to 4.37 years.

1. What is one way that light waves differ from sound waves?
Ede4ka [16]
  • One way Light waves differ from sound waves it that it does not require a medium to propagate.

  • High frequency electromagnetic waves are more likely to cause harm because as a wave's frequency increases, more energy is carried by the wave in a given time period.

  • The frequency of yellow light is greater than that of blue light.

<h3>What is a Wave?</h3>

This is defined as a propagation of disturbances from place to place in a regular and organized way.

The answers provided above are therefore the most appropriate choices in this scenario.

Can someone help me with this please
rjkz [21]

Answer:

1. 2HCl + MgO —-> MgCl2 + H2O

Explanation: You add a 2 in front of the HCl in order to have 2 hydrogens on each side and 2 Cl on each side. Since, Magnesium only has one on each side, they’re already balanced. Same with Oxygen so you leave it alone.

Which of the following statements about inertia is true?
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

D. The inertia of a spaceship on Earth equals the inertia of the spaceship on the moon.

Explanation:

Inertia is the property of mass and it will directly depends on the value of mass of the object

So here inertia of object will change as the mass of the object will change

So here we can say

A. Inertia depends on velocity.

FALSE

As inertia is not a function of velocity

B. Inertia is a measurement of acceleration.

FALSE

it does not depends on acceleration

C. The inertia of a 2 kg bag of flour is greater than the inertia of a 4 kg flower pot.

FALSE

More mass means more inertia so 4 kg must have more inertia

D. The inertia of a spaceship on Earth equals the inertia of the spaceship on the moon.

TRUE

Since mass on Earth and Moon will be same so inertia must be same

the weight of an object on earth is 350 newtons. on mars the same object would weigh 134 newtons. what is the acceleration due t
Eddi Din [679]
Mass will remain constant on both planet, let mass of the object be "m".
let x be the <span>acceleration due to gravity on the surface of mars.
Weight of object on earth = m *g , where g is </span><span>acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth
</span>⇒350 =  m *  9.8
⇒m = 350  /  9.8                        .............................equation(1)
Weight of object on mars = m * x , where x is acceleration due to gravity on the surface of mars
134  =   m   *  x                           .............................equation(2)
putting the value of m from equation (1) in equation(2) , we get,
x     =   (134  *  9.8) / 350
⇒  x   =   3.572 m/s²
