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

In science and engineering, the weight<span> of an object is usually taken to be the force on the object due to gravity. It is calculated by multiplying the mass with the gravitational acceleration.

W = mg = 1700 (9.81) = 16677 N

How do paved parking lots and roads with concrete or asphalt affect water flow on the land?
harina [27]
On the regular ground, water usually seeps in to the soil, which has a number of benefits for the wildlife in that area. However, with asphalt and concrete, there is no soft and absorbent soil to take in the water, so it just keeps flowing down to the lowest part of land it can. Additionally, some water runoff can carry fertilizer and other harmful chemicals with it in to the oceans and lakes it’s dumped in, which harms the ecosystem in them as well.

Water flows with constant speed through a garden hose that goes up to 27.5 cm high. if the water pressure is 132kpa at the botto
sergejj [24]

Answer:

The pressure at the top of the step is 129.303 kilopascals.

Explanation:

From Hydrostatics we find that the pressure difference between extremes of the water column is defined by the following formula, which is a particular case of the Bernoulli's Principle (v_{bottom}\approx v_{top}):

p_{bottom}-p_{top} = \rho\cdot g\cdot \Delta h (1)

p_{bottom}, p_{top} - Total pressures at the bottom and at the top, measured in pascals.

\rho - Density of the water, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

\Delta h - Height difference of the step, measured in meters.

If we know that p_{bottom} = 132000\,Pa, \rho = 1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}, g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} and \Delta h = 0.275\,m, then the pressure at the top of the step is:

p_{top} = p_{bottom}-\rho\cdot g\cdot \Delta h

p_{top} = 132000\,Pa-\left(1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (0.275\,m)

p_{top} = 129303.075\,Pa

p_{top} = 129.303\,kPa

The pressure at the top of the step is 129.303 kilopascals.

What Energy source that produces wind
svetoff [14.1K]
Wind is usually caused by a difference in pressure that causes wind to be "Pushed" on the surface of earth. Air usually moves from high to low pressure and that is what we call wind. Please hit the thanks button if this helped :)
