Answer:

7.644 feet

Explanation:

Free fall means that an object is falling freely with no forces acting upon it except gravity, a defined constant, g = -9.8 m/s2. The distance the object falls, or height, h, is 1/2 gravity x the square of the time falling.

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}miSo option (a) is correct

Where is potential energy in food stored
AlexFokin [52]
The potential energy is stored in the chemical bonds of the food. When those bonds break up during the metabolic processes, the energy is released. After that, that energy is stored in the Adenosine Triphosphate bonds aka ATP. The simplest way to think is to think of food as the tightly bound atoms. When the chemical bonds between those atoms break, the stored energy in that food is released.

If the faster stone takes 12.0 s to return to the ground, how long will it take the slower stone to return?
iren [92.7K]
Same speed, because mass is neglected. The things that affect the speed are the distance and speed of the rock.
