<h2>Answer:   2.59 × 10¹⁰ kilometers/day</h2>

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Since there are 86400 seconds / day

& light travels at 3 x 10⁵ kilometers / second

Then kilometers the light travels in a day

  = (86400 seconds / day) × (light travels at 3 x 10⁵ kilometers / second)

  = 2.59 × 10¹⁰ kilometers/day

<u></u>

<u></u>

<u>Note:</u>

<em>We know that we have to multiply because the unit 'seconds per day' has the seconds in the numerator, while the unit 'kilometer per second' has the seconds in the denominator, so to cancel we would have to multiply. This gives us the unit we are looking for 'kilometeres per day'.</em>

How many solutions does the system have?<br> y=-2x -4 <br> y=3x + 3
baherus [9]

Answer:

x=−7/5and y=−6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step: Substitute−2x−4foryiny=3x+3:

y=3x+3

−2x−4=3x+3

−2x−4+−3x=3x+3+−3x(Add -3x to both sides)

−5x−4=3

−5x−4+4=3+4(Add 4 to both sides)

−5x=7

−5x

−5

=

7

−5

(Divide both sides by -5)

x=−7/5

Prove that: 16sin20.sin40.sin60.sin80=3​
olga nikolaevna [1]

to prove that 6720. Sin 40. Sin 60. 80 equals 3 you'd have to divide 16 by 20 multiply subtract both sides by 3 which is 24x + 6x + 8x + -14 equals 40 40 + 20 equals 16 - -40 equals 80 which equals to 3

2. The following formula relates three quantities: Force (F), mass (m), and acceleration (a).
castortr0y [4]

Let

F--------> represent the force

m--------> represent the mass

a-------> represent the acceleration

we know that

The formula that relates three quantities: Force (F), mass (m), and acceleration (a) is equal to

F=ma

<u>Part a)</u> Solve this equation for a

F=ma

Divide both sides by the mass

a=\frac{F}{m}

therefore

<u>the answer part a) is equal to</u>

a=\frac{F}{m}

<u>Part b) </u>Let the force be 25 units and the mass be m = 10 units. What is the acceleration, a?

we know that

the formula of acceleration is equal to

a=\frac{F}{m}

in this problem

we have

F=25\\m=10

Substitute the values n the formula

a=\frac{25}{10}

a=2.5

therefore

<u>the answer part b( is equal to</u>

a=2.5

<u>Part c)</u> Let the force be F = 25 units and the acceleration be a = 5 units. What is the mass, m?

we know that

F=ma

Solve for m

Divide both sides by the acceleration

m=\frac{F}{a}

in this problem

we have

F=25\\a=5

Substitute the values n the formula

m=\frac{25}{5}

m=5

therefore

<u>the answer Part c) is </u>

m=5
