A light year is a distance. 
It's the distance that light travels in a year, through vacuum.
The distance is about 5.875 trillion miles. 
The nearest star outside our solar system is about 4.2 light years from us.

Sorry to have rambled on for so long.

<h2>Power of cheetah is 5576.85 W = 7.48 hp</h2>

Explanation:

Power is the ratio of energy to time.

Here we need to consider kinetic energy,

Mass, m = 102 kg

Initial velocity = 0 m/s

Final velocity = 16.2 m/s

Time, t = 2.4 s

Initial kinetic energy = 0.5 x Mass x Initial velocity² = 0.5 x 102 x 0² = 0 J

Final kinetic energy = 0.5 x Mass x Final velocity² = 0.5 x 102 x 16.2² = 13384.44 J

Change in energy = Final kinetic energy - Initial kinetic energy

Change in energy = 13384.44 - 0

Change in energy = 13384.44 J

Power = 13384.44  ÷ 2.4 = 5576.85 W = 7.48 hp

Power of cheetah is 5576.85 W = 7.48 hp

A detailed explanation of static and dynamic friction . plsssss​
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Static friction is what keeps the box from moving without being pushed, and it must be overcome with a sufficient opposing force before the box will move. Kinetic friction (also referred to as dynamic friction) is the force that resists the relative movement of the surfaces once they're in motionExplanation:

dmitriy555 [2]
<span>1. Get a graduated cylinder. 2. Fill the graduated cylinder to a known amount of water. Record the amount of water in the cylinder. 3. Place rock into the graduated cylinder 4. Measure the new volume of the graduated cylinder with the rock in it. 5. Take the difference of the new volume and the old volume and that is the volume of the rock.</span>

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Thomson's model showed an atom that had a positively charged medium, or space, with negatively charged electrons inside the medium. After its proposal, the model was called a "plum pudding" model because the positive medium was like a pudding, with electrons, or plums, inside.
