The first thing that needs to be done is to find everything in the same units.  12 hours becomes 43200 seconds.  Then find the distance traveled by light in that amount of time.  Using the formula v=d/s, manipulate it so it looks like d=v*s.  Then plug in the values: d=(3x10^8)*43200,  d=1.3x10^13m.  But you need to find this in kilometers.  To do this, simply divide your answer by one thousand.  Thus, a laser beam would travel 1.3x10^10 kilometers in 12 hours.

How are scientists able to predict when and where the next eclipse will occur?
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

When the Earth and sun are perfectly lined up, then it will happen. They can tell when it's going to happen.

Explanation:

This is why it only happens in some places. Some days it's not sunny out, so it's not going to happen.

fgiga [73]

Answer:

the final energy of the system is 35.5 kJ.

Explanation:

Given;

initial energy of the system, E₁ = 10 kJ

heat transferred to the system, q₁  30 kJ

Heat lost to the surrounding, q₂ = 5kJ

heat gained by the system, Q = q₁ - q₂ = 30 kJ - 5kJ = 25 kJ

work done on the system, W = 500 J = 0.5 kJ

Apply first law of thermodynamic,

ΔU = Q + W

where;

ΔU  is change in internal energy

Q is the heat gained by the system

W is work done on the system

ΔU = 25kJ + 0.5 kJ

ΔU = 25.5 kJ

The final energy of the system is calculated as;

E₂ = E₁ + ΔU

E₂ = 10 kJ + 25.5 kJ

E₂ =  35.5 kJ.

Therefore, the final energy of the system is 35.5 kJ.
