Convert 3.8 Km/sec to miles/year

1 answer:

5 0

To convert the speed from kilometers per second to miles per year, we'll utilize a conversion factor that relates these units. This involves either multiplying or dividing the original value based on the desired outcome. From general knowledge, we find that 1 mile equates to 1609 meters, while 1000 meters make up 1 kilometer. Moreover, there are 3600 seconds in an hour, 24 hours in a day, and 365 days in a year. The conversion process is as follows:

3.8 km/s ( 1000 m / 1 km ) ( 1 mile / 1609 meters ) ( 3600 s / 1 hr ) ( 24 hr / 1 day ) ( 365 days / 1 year ) = 74479055.3 miles per year

Tems11 [846]

Assuming we have a 100g sample, the mass of each element is as follows:
C: 74 g
H: 7.4 g
N: 8.6 g
O: 10 g
Next, we calculate the moles of each by dividing the mass of each element by its molar mass:
C: (74 / 12) = 6.17
H: (7.4 / 1) = 7.4
N: (8.6 / 14) = 0.61
O: (10 / 16) = 0.625
Now, we take the smallest value to determine the ratio:
C: 10
H: 12
N: 1
O: 1
Thus, the empirical formula can be expressed as

The speed of light in a vacuum is 2.998 × 10 8 8 m/s. How long does it take for light to circumnavigate the Earth, which has a c

castortr0y [923]

Answer:- 0.134 seconds

Solution:- The speed is given as $2.988*10^8\frac{m}{s}$ and the circumference is 24900 miles which is same as the distance light have to covered. It asks to calculate the time required to cover this distance by the light.

Unit conversion is needed from miles to meters since the speed is given in meters per second.

1 mile = 1609.34 meters

Thus, $24900mile(\frac{1609.34meter}{mile})$

= 40072566 meters

Now, $speed=\frac{distance}{time}$

Rearranged for time, that gives: $time=\frac{distance}{speed}$

Inserting the values:

$time=\frac{40072566meter}{2.988*10^8\frac{meter}{second}}$

= 0.134 seconds

Hence, light would take 0.134 seconds to traverse the indicated distance. The answer without the unit is 0.134.

Find the age ttt of a sample, if the total mass of carbon in the sample is mcmcm_c, the activity of the sample is AAA, the curre

castortr0y [923]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a desert cave, an artifact has been discovered. The anthropologists investigating this artifact want to determine its age. They note that the current activity level of the artifact is 9.25 decays/s, and the carbon mass present is 0.100 kg. To ascertain the artifact's age, they will employ specific constants:

r=1.2

The formula for carbon 14 activity is

$A=A_0e^{\lambda t}$

where,

$A_0$ is the initial activity of the substance

Now, solve for t

$-\lambda t=In\frac{A}{A_0}$

$t=-\frac{1}{\lambda} In(\frac{A}{A_0} )$

$=-\frac{1}{\lambda} In(\frac{A}{\lambda r(\frac{m_c}{m_a} )} )$

since,

$A_0=\lambda r(\frac{m_c}{m_a} )$

$=-\frac{1}{\lambda} In(\frac{A\ m_a}{\lambda r m_c} )$

Thus, the age of the artifact is

$=-\frac{1}{\lambda} In(\frac{A\ m_a}{\lambda r m_c} )$

$=-\frac{1}{1.21\times 10^{-4}} In(\frac{(9.25)(2.32\times 10^{-26}}{1.21\times 10^{-4}(\frac{1}{3.15569\times10^7} )(1.2\times 10^{-12})(0.100)}} )\\\\=6303.4 \ years$

to two significant figures = 6300 years

Step $1$ : To find the mass of a single washer, divide the total measured mass by the number of washers $\frac{0.4168}{1000} =0.0004168\ Kg$ $0.0004168kg=4.168*10^{-4} kg$ . Step $2$ : Convert kilograms to milligrams knowing $1 kg=1*10^{6} mg$ ; thus $4.168*10^{-4}*10^{6} =4.168*10^{2}mg=416.8 mg$ resulting in the final answer $416.8 mg$ .
