Answer:

68.2 Quadrillion meters

Explanation:

A lightyear is the distance that light travels in one year.

Speed of light is $3*10^8\ m/s$

So light covers 300,000,000 meters in one second.

One year has 31536000 seconds so , light covers

$9.461*10^{15}\ meters\ in\ one\ year$

so 7.2 light years is

$7.2*(9.461*10^{15})\\6.82*10^{16}$

so 7.2 light years is

6.82 x 10^(16) meters or

68.2 Quadrillion meters

A water pump is a positive displacement-type pump true or false

Kay [80]

Answer: True

A water pump belong to a positive displacement pump that provides constant flow of water at fixed speed, regardless of changes in the counter pressure. The two main types of positive displacement pump are rotary pumps and reciprocating pumps.

Moreover, water pump is a reciprocating positive displacement pump that have an expanding cavity on the suction side and a decreasing cavity on the discharge side. In water pumps, the liquid flows into the pumps as the cavity on the suction side expands and then the liquid flows out of the discharge as the cavity collapses providing water in a pail.

A bird flies at a speed of 2.3 m/s if it has 14 j of kinetic energy what is the mass

Sidana [21]

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 * mv²

Kinetic Energy = 14 J, v = 2.3 m/s , m = ?

14 = 1/2 * m* 2.3²

14 = 0.5*m*2.3*2.3

m = 14 / (0.5*2.3*2.3)

m = 5.29 kg.

Mass = 5.29 kg.
