Accelerating at 9.8 m/s² means that every second, the speed is 9.8 m/s faster than it was a second earlier.  It's not important to the problem, but this number (9.8) happens to be the acceleration of gravity on Earth.

1% of the speed of light = (300,000,000 m/s) / 100 = 3,000,000 m/s .

Starting from zero speed, moving (9.8 m/s) faster every second,
how long does it take to reach  3,000,000 m/s ?

           (3,000,000 m/s) / (9.8 m/s²)  =  306,122 seconds .
                                                   (That's  5,102 minutes.)
                                                        (That's  85 hours.)
                                                     (That's  3.54 days.)

Speed at the beginning . . . zero .
Speed at the end . . . 3,000,000 m/s
Average speed . . . . . 1,500,000 m/s

Distance = (average speed) x (time)

               = (1,500,000 m/s) x (306,122 sec) = 4.592 x 10¹¹ meters

                                                                     =  459 million kilometers

                         That's like from Earth
                                                  to       Sun
                                                             to    Earth
                                                                    to        Sun.

What would a series circuit be used for?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

a series circuit would be an odd choice to power a battery or light a lamp when a direct would be much more efficient, and it's not converting types of energy, so C is the best possible answer
