So to solve this problem, we must convert units and then cancel units simultaneously:

(\frac{982,080,000ft}{s})*(\frac{32,000,000s}{1})*(\frac{12inches}{1ft})=3.77x10^{17} inches

Therefore we know that the distance that light travels in one year is 3.77x10^{17} inches.

1. A bicycle initially moving with a velocity
ki77a [65]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 15 \ m/s \ or \ 15 \ m*s^{-1}}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find the final velocity. We are given the acceleration, time, and initial velocity, so we can use the following kinematics formula.

v_f= v_i+ at

In this formula, v_f is the final velocity, v_i is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.

The bicycle has an initial velocity of 5.0 m *s⁻¹ or m/s, acceleration of 2 m/s², and a time of 5 seconds.

\bullet \  v_i = 5.0 \ m/s \\\bullet \  a= 2\ m/s^2\\\bullet \  t= 5  \ s

Substitute the values into the formula.

v_f=5.0 \ m/s + ( 2\ m/s^2 * 5 \ s)

Solve inside the parentheses.

  • \frac {2 \ m}{s^2}* 5 \ s = \frac{ 2 \ m}{s} * 5 = \frac{ 10 \ m}{s} = 10 \ m/s

v_f= 5.0 \ m/s + (10 \ m/s)

Add.

v_f= 15 \ m/s

The units can also be written as:

v_f= 15 \ m*s^{-1}

The bicycle's final velocity is 15 meters per second.
