Answer:

2.3*10^8m/s

Explanation:

Using

V = c/n

Where c= speed of light

n = refractive index of water

By substituting

We have

V= 3*10^8m/s/1.33

= 2.3*10^8m/s

Differences between Light year and Cosmic year in two points
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

A cosmic year is 365.25 days, some times called a side real year and is just the time it takes for us to go round the sun once.

A light year is the distance light travels in a year. Now light travels at about 186,262 miles a Second! Which is not slow by any ones book.

An experiment was conducted just after Christmas a few years ago. Two girls were selected from the audience and went into two phone boxes a few feet apart. They could only hear each other via the phones. The phone call went to a ground station about 200 miles away, then up to a geostationary coms satellite, back to a ground station 1/3 of the way around the world, then repeated, with a third satellite before being sent from another ground station back to London and the other phone box. We the audience could hear both sides of the conversation from both boxes. And could hear the delay between sending and receiving. So even at the speed of light, there was about 1.5 seconds of delay. So because distances in space are so vast that saying a star is x millions of miles away causes problems, you run out of zero’s! So our nearest other star is about 4.5 light years away. Our sun (our nearest start) is about 8 light minuets away. Varies slightly as our orbit is not 100% cirular.

I HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL.

The mass of the Sun is 2multiply1030 kg, and the mass of the Earth is 6multiply1024 kg. The distance from the Sun to the Earth i
spayn [35]

Answer:

<em>a) 3.56 x 10^22 N</em>

<em>b) 3.56 x 10^22 N</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Mass of the sun M = 2 x 10^30 kg

mass of the Earth m = 6 x 10^24 kg

Distance between the sun and the Earth R = 1.5 x 10^11 m

From Newton's law,

F = \frac{GMm}{R^2}

where F is the gravitational force between the sun and the Earth

G is the gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2

m is the mass of the Earth

M is the mass of the sun

R is the distance between the sun and the Earth.

Substituting values, we have

F = \frac{6.67*10^{-11}*2*10^{30}*6*10^{24}}{(1.5*10^{11})^2} = <em>3.56 x 10^22 N</em>

<em></em>

A) The force exerted by the sun on the Earth is equal to the force exerted by the Earth on the Sun also, and the force is equal to <em>3.56 x 10^22 N</em>

b) The force exerted by the Earth on the Sun = <em>3.56 x 10^22 N</em>

An object accelerates 13.0 m/s2 when a force of 4.4 newtons is applied to it. What is the
velikii [3]

Answer:

0.3384 N

Explanation:

Acceleration = 13 m/s^2

Force = 4.4 N

Force = mass * acceleration

mass = force / acceleration

mass = 4.4 / 13

mass = 0.3384 N
