Find the radius to which the sun must be compressed for it to become a black hole.

Physics

Answer:

2950 m

Explanation:

The radius to which the sun must be compressed to become a black hole is equal to the Schwarzschild radius, defined as:

R=\frac{2GM}{c^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the of the sun

c is the speed of light

The mass of the sun is

M=1.99\cdot 10^{30}kg

So, if we substitute the values of the other constants inside the formula, we find the value of the Schwarzschild radius for the sun:

R=\frac{2(6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2})(1.99\cdot 10^{30} kg)}{(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)^2}=2950 m

In a thunderstorm at 20.0°C, Karen sees a bolt of lightning and hears the thunderclap 3.00 s later. How far from Karen did the l

-- The speed of light in air is very close to 3 x 10⁸ m/s.
Whatever the actual number is, it's equivalent to roughly
7 times around the Earth in 1 second.  So for this kind of
problem, you can assume that we see things at the same time
that they happen; don't bother worrying about how long it takes
for the light to reach you.

-- For sound, it's a different story.  Sound in air only travels at
about 340 m/s.  It takes sound almost 5 seconds to go 1 mile.

-- Now, the lightning and thunder happen at the same time.
The light travels to you at the speed of light, so you see the
lightning pretty much when it happens.  But the sound of the
thunder comes poking along at 340 m/s, and arrives AFTER
the sight of the lightning.

The length of time between the sight and the sound is about
99.9999% the result of the time it takes the sound to reach you.

If the thunder arrived at you 3 seconds after the light did, then
the sound traveled
        
                     (340 m/s) x (3 s) =  1,020 meters .
                                           
(about 0.63 of a mile)

(If you're worried about ignoring the time it takes
for the light to reach you ...

  It takes light  0.0000034 second to cover the same 1,020 meters,

so including it in the calculation would not change the answer.)

Which illustrates the law of conservation of matter? A. producers because they create new matter B. decomposers because they des
Klio2033 [76]

D. compost bins because they recycle matter into a new form

Explanation:

  • The law of conservation of matter is about the creation and how matter is being transferred. According to the law, the matter cannot be destroyed. The matter should always be transferred from one form to another in the universe. There is never destruction of matter happens. There is also one more point to it, as it cannot be destroyed it also cannot be created.
  • Here in the options, option A tells us the creation which is not possible, option B says about the destruction of matter which is not true according to the law, C is about storing the matter which will not happen because its get transferred and D is the correct option because it talks about the recycle/ transfer of matter.
