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

you’ve just been involved in a traffic accident that leaves you stranded on the side of the road. Which part of the EM spectrum
Akimi4 [234]

You’ve just been involved in a traffic accident that leaves you stranded on the side of the road. <u>Microwaves from the EM spectrum would be of the most use.</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

  • Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths ranging from about one meter to one millimeter, with frequencies between 300 MHz and 300 GHz.
  • Microwaves have a range of applications, including communications, radar and, perhaps best known by most people, cooking
  • Microwave is a line-of-sight wireless communication technology that uses high frequency beams of radio waves to provide high speed wireless connections that can send and receive voice, video, and data information.
  • Microwaves and radio waves are used to communicate with satellites.
  • Microwaves pass straight through the atmosphere and are suitable for communicating with distant geostationary satellites, while radio waves are suitable for communicating with satellites in low orbit.
  • Microwaves are widely used in modern technology, <u>for example</u> : in point-to-point communication links, wireless networks, microwave radio relay networks, radar, satellite and spacecraft communication, medical diathermy and cancer treatment, etc

In an arcade game a 0.099 kg disk is shot across a frictionless horizontal surface by compressing it against a spring and releas
Sonja [21]

Answer:

The speed of disk is 1.98 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of m = 0.099 kg

Spring constant k = 244 \frac{N}{m}

Compression of spring x = 4 \times 10^{-2} m

From energy conservation theorem,

Spring potential energy converted into kinetic energy,

   \frac{1}{2} m v^{2} = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}

  v = \sqrt{\frac{k x^{2} }{m} }

  v = \sqrt{\frac{244 \times 16 \times 10^{-4} }{0.099} }

  v = 1.98 \frac{m}{s}

Therefore, the speed of disk is 1.98 \frac{m}{s}

(a) A 1.00-μF capacitor is connected to a 15.0-V battery. How much energy is stored in the capacitor? ________ μJ (b) Had the ca
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

(a) E_{ c} = 112.5 \mu J

(b) E'_{ c} = 18 \mu J

Solution:

According to the question:

Capacitance, C = 1.00\mu F = 1.00\times 10^{- 6} F

Voltage of the battery, V_{b} = 15.0 V

(a)The Energy stored in the Capacitor is given by:

E_{c} = \frac{1}{2}CV_{b}^{2}

E_{c} = \frac{1}{2}\times 1.00\times 10^{- 6}\times 15.0^{2}

E_{ c} = 112.5 \mu J

(b) When the voltage of the battery is 6.00 V, the the energy stored in the capacitor is given by:

E'_{c} = \frac{1}{2}CV'_{b}^{2}

E'_{c} = \frac{1}{2}\times 1.00\times 10^{- 6}\times 6.0^{2}

E'_{ c} = 18 \mu J
