Kepler-186f is an exoplanet that orbits a star other than the Sun. Its star is the red dwarf Kepler-186. It is the first planet

to be discovered that orbits its star at a distance similar to Earth’s distance from the Sun. If Kepler-186f is approximately 5.4 x 1010 meters from Kepler-186, how long does it take for light from the star to reach the exoplanet? The speed of light is 3.0 x 108 m/s

Answer:

180seconds

Explanation:

According to the question, Kepler-186f is an exoplanet that orbits a star called kepler-186, other than the Sun.

Distance of the star (kepler-186) away from the planet is 5.4 x 10^10 meters

In order to calculate how long i.e. time, a light moving at an average speed of 3.0 x 10^8 m/s will get to the exoplanet from the star, we use;

Speed (m/s) = Distance (m) ÷ time (s)

Time = Distance/speed

Time = 5.4 x 10^10 ÷ 3.0 x 10^8

Time = 5.4/3.0 × 10^ (10-8)

Time = 1.8 × 10^2

Time = 180seconds.

Electricity is added to recharge a battery. What is added to ADP to form ATP?
White raven [17]

Electricity is added to recharge a battery. A third phosphate group  is added to ADP to form ATP.

ATP or Adenosine triphosphate contains adenine, ribose and 3 phosphate groups.

ADP is converted to ATP by the following reaction:

ADP+Pi+energy⇄ATP

The analogy between battery and ATP can be explained as ATP is higher energy form and ADP is lower energy form like charged and uncharged form of the battery. When the terminal or third phosphate is removed from the ATP it becomes ADP and releases energy like a battery. The additional phosphate group when added to ADP forms the ATP molecule like the energy spent by the batteries are recharged by putting in additional energy. Here the additional energy is provided by the third phosphate group.
