Answer:

ice is a poor conductor of heat and less dense than water. During winter, ice floats and insulates the water under it. Below the frozen layer, the water remains in its liquid state and does not freeze. Also, oxygen is trapped beneath the layer of ice. This makes it possible for aquatic animals to survive during winter.

A light-year is the distance that light travels in one year. The speed of light is 3.00 × 108 m/s. How many miles are there in o

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

(a) $5.88\times 10^{12}mi$

Explanation:

We have given speed of light $c=3\times 10^8m/sec$

Given time = 1 year =365 days

We know that in 1 minute = 60 sec

1 hour = 60×60 = 3600 sec

In one day = 24 hour = 24×60×60=86400 sec

So in 365 days = 365×86400 $=3.1536\times 10^7sec$

We know that distance = speed ×time $=3.1536\times 10^7\times 3\times 10^8=9.46\times 10^{15}m$

We have given that 1 mi = 1609 m

So $9.46\times 10^{15}m=\frac{9.46\times 10^{15}}{1609}=5.88\times 10^{12}mi$ So option (a) is correct

What makes an electric charge?

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Most electric charge is carried by the electrons and protons within an atom. Conversely, two protons repel each other, as do two electrons. Advertisement. Protons and electrons create electric fields, which exert a force called the Coulomb force, which radiates outward in all directions.

The wavelength of light that has a frequency of 1.20 × 1013 s-1 is ________ m.

klio [65]

The relationship between frequency and wavelength for an electromagnetic wave is
$c=f \lambda$
where
f is the frequency
$\lambda$ is the wavelength
$c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light.

For the light in our problem, the frequency is $f=1.20 \cdot 10^{13} s^{-1}$ , so its wavelength is (re-arranging the previous formula)
$\lambda= \frac{c}{f}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.20 \cdot 10^{13} s^{-1}}= 2.5 \cdot 10^{-5}m$
