3 0

Answer:

It takes to a spacecraft 100,837.13 years to cross the galaxy if could travels at 99% the speed of light.

Explanation:

d= 9.461 *10²⁰m

V= 297 *10⁶ m/s

t= d/V

t= 3.18 * 10¹² seconds = 100837.13 years

Obi Wan hears the destruction of a planet and all of its people through 'the force'. These sounds are only in his head and are n
trapecia [35]

Answer:

medium

Explanation:

<em>A sound </em><em>medium</em><em> is defined as channel through which sound can travel or be transmitted. </em>

Sound medium could be in the form gases, liquids, solids or plasmas. Space is made up of vacuum and therefore, has no medium within it. Hence, space cannot transmit sound in any form or allows sound to travel through it.

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy transforms matter in different ways by creating and destroying it.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. It can be transformed from one form of energy to another, but the energy in an isolated system remains constant.

The answer then would be letter B. False.

A man standing in an elevator holds a spring scale with a load of 5 kg suspended from it. What would be the reading of the scale
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

3.1 kg

Explanation:

Applying,

R = m(g-a)..................... Equation 1

Where R = weight of the scale when the elevator is coming down, a = acceleration of the elevator, g = acceleration due to gravith.

From the question,

Given: m = 5 kg, a = 3.8 m/s²

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

R = 5(9.8-3.8)

R = 5(6)

R = 30 N

Hence the spring scale is

m' = R/g

m' = 30/9.8

m' = 3.1 kg
