How do I calculate how many meters are in 7.2 light years?

Physics
1 answer:
Vikentia [17]3 years ago
5 0

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

Estimate how long a 2500 W electric kettle would take to boil away 1.5 Kg of water . The specific latent heat of vaporization of
andrew-mc [135]

The time it would take a 2500 W electric kettle to boil away 1.5 Kg of water is 2400 seconds

<h3>How to calculate the time</h3>

Use the formula:

Power × time = mass × specific heat

Given mass = 1. 5kg

Specific latent heat of vaporization = 4000000 J/ Kg

Power = 2500 W

Substitute the values into the formula

Power × time = mass × specific heat

2500 × time = 1. 5 × 4000000

Make 'time' the subject

time = 1. 5 × 4000000 ÷ 2500 = 6000000 ÷ 2500 = 2400 seconds

Therefore, the time it would take a 2500 W electric kettle to boil away 1.5 Kg of water is 2400 seconds.

How am I supposed to solve this?
RSB [31]

Answer:

4.02 km/hr

Explanation:

5 km/hr = 1.39 m/s

The swimmer's speed relative to the ground must have the same direction as line AC.

The vertical component of the velocity is:

uᵧ = us cos 45

uᵧ = √2/2 us

The horizontal component of the velocity is:

uₓ = 1.39 − us sin 45

uₓ = 1.39 − √2/2 us

Writing a proportion:

uₓ / uᵧ = 121 / 159

(1.39 − √2/2 us) / (√2/2 us) = 121 / 159

Cross multiply and solve:

159 (1.39 − √2/2 us) = 121 (√2/2 us)

220.8 − 79.5√2 us = 60.5√2 us

220.8 = 140√2 us

us = 1.115

The swimmer's speed is 1.115 m/s, or 4.02 km/hr.

deff fn [24]

Answer:he formula for average speed is (total distance/total time)

the y-component does not matter in this problem. so do 6.26(cos45)=4.43m/s to find the x-component velocity which is constant throughout the duration of the flight. the total distance is 2L because he travels distance L twice.

the total time is ((time in water)+(time out of water)) since you dont have time you must eliminate it. to do this you need (distance)/(time)=velocity

solve for time and you get T=D/V

time in water is L/3.52 and time out of water is L/4.43

add them together and you get (4.43L+3.52L)/(15.59) = 7.95L/15.59

that value is your total time

divide you total distance (2L) by total time (7.95L/15.59) and the Ls cancel out and you get

(31.18)/(7.95) = 3.92 m/s = Average Speed
