Saturn is 890,700,000 miles from the Sun. What is this distance in scientific notation? The ratio of miles to meters is 1 mile e

quals 1.61 x 103 meters. What is this distance in meters? If the speed of light is 3.0 x 108 meters/second, how long does it take for light from the Sun to reach Saturn? Hint: Use the distance in meters to calculate.

Answer:

13 hours, 16 minutes, 41 seconds

Explanation:

Distance of Saturn from the Sun

= 890,700,000 miles

= 8.907\times 10^8 \: miles\\= 8.907\times 10^8 \times 1.61 \times 10^3 \:meters\\= 14.34027\times 10^{11}\: m\\= 1. 434027\times 10^{12}\: m\\\\\because Time = \frac{Distance}{Speed} \\\therefore Time = \frac{1.434027\times 10^{12}}{3\times 10^8}\\\therefore Time = 4.78009 \times 10^{12-8}\\\therefore Time = 4.78009 \times 10^{4} \:seconds \\\therefore Time = 47800.9 \:seconds\\\therefore Time = 47801 \:seconds\\\therefore Time = 13h\: 16m\: 41s\\

Explain the relationship between resistance and the velocity of shortening.
butalik [34]
The velocity of shortening refers to the speed of the contraction from the muscle shortening while lifting a load. The relationship between the resistance and velocity of shortening is inverse. The greater the resistance, the shorter the velocity of shortening and the smaller the resistance, the larger the velocity of shortening.

Hopefully this help :)

Elemental analysis of the unknown gas from part a revealed that it is 30.45% n and 69.55% o by mass. What is the molecular formu
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

the molecular formula for the gas is NO₂

Explanation:

since it contains

Nitrogen = n → 30.45%

Oxygen = o → 69.55%

and 30.45%+69.55% = 100% , then the gas only contains nitrogen and oxygen

Also we know that the proportion of oxygen over nitrogen  is

proportion of oxygen over nitrogen  = moles of oxygen / moles of nitrogen

since

moles = mass / molecular weight

then for a sample of 100 gr of the unknown gas

mass of oxygen = 69.55%*100 gr = 69.55 gr

mass of Nitrogen = 30.45%*100 gr = 30.45 gr

proportion of oxygen over nitrogen = (mass of oxygen/ molecular weight)/(mass of nitrogen / molecular weight of nitrogen ) =  (69.55 gr/ 16 gr/mol) /( 30.45 gr /14 gr/mol) = 1.998 mol of O/ mol of N≈ 2 mol of O/ mol of N

therefore there are 2 atoms of oxygen per atom of nitrogen

thus the molecular formula for the gas is:

NO₂

An electron in the n = 5 level of an h atom emits a photon of wavelength 1282.17 nm. to what energy level does the electron move
lions [1.4K]
This is an interesting (read tricky!) variation of Rydberg Eqn calculation.
Rydberg Eqn: 1/λ = R [1/n1^2 - 1/n2^2]
Where λ is the wavelength of the light; 1282.17 nm = 1282.17×10^-9 m
R is the Rydberg constant: R = 1.09737×10^7 m-1
n2 = 5 (emission)
Hence 1/(1282.17 ×10^-9) = 1.09737× 10^7 [1/n1^2 – 1/25^2]
Some rearranging and collecting up terms:
1 = (1282.17 ×10^-9) (1.09737× 10^7)[1/n2 -1/25]
1= 14.07[1/n^2 – 1/25]
1 =14.07/n^2 – (14.07/25)
14.07n^2 = 1 + 0.5628
n = √(14.07/1.5628) = 3
