Given that average speed is distance traveled divided by time, determine the values of m and n when the time it takes a beam of

light to get from the Sun to the Earth (in s) is written in scientific notation. Note: the speed of light is approximately 3.0×108 m/s. Enter m and n, separated by commas.

Answer:

5,2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Speed of light C=3.0×10^8 m/s.

Generally the equation for Average Speed is mathematically given by

V_{avg}=\frac{d}{t}

Where

d=Distance between the Earth and the sun

d=1.5*10^11m

Therefore

t=\frac{d}{V_{avg}}

t=\frac{1.5*10^11m}{3.0×10^8 m/s.}

t=5*10^2s

Since m and n is given in the form of

m*10^n

Therefore

m=5 & n=2

A 2500 kg elevator is suspended by a single cable, in which the tension is 30,000 N
Zanzabum

With mass 2500 kg, the elevator has weight

(2500 kg) <em>g</em> = (2500 kg) (9.80 m/s²) = 24,500 N

The net force on the elevator is 30,000 N - 24,500 N = 5500 N (because its weight pulls it downward, while the tension pulls upward).

The acceleration <em>a</em> of the elevator is obtained from Newton's second law,

(2500 kg) <em>a</em> = 5500 N

<em>a</em> = (5500 N) / (2500 kg)

<em>a</em> = 2.2 m/s²

Ber [7]

Answer:

The independent variable is the variable the experimenter manipulates or changes, and is assumed to have a direct effect on the dependent variable. ... The dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in an experiment, and is 'dependent' on the independent variable.

No. The isomers have same molecular formula (same elements in the same number each).

Ethane does not contain oxygen and ethanol does.
