The speed of light is about 1.86×10^5 miles per second. The star Sirius is about 5.062×10^13 miles from Earth. About how many seconds does it take light to travel from Sirius to Earth? Write your answer in scientific notation, rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2.72 × 10^8 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Organize the given information to help you create the equation:

- Light travels 1.86 × 10^5 miles per 1 second

- Light travels 5.062 × 10^13 miles per n seconds

- Need to solve for n

2. Set up the equation (Make sure that both numerators and both denominators match units, so the seconds are either both on top or both on bottom, NOT switched):

[tex]\frac{1.86 * 10^5}{1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5.062 * 10^1^3}{n}[/tex]

3. Cross multiply (Multiply the first fraction's numerator by the second's denominator, and vice versa. It doesn't matter what number is on which side of the = sign)

n × (1.86 × 10^5) = 5.062 × 10^13

4. Solve for n by isolating the variable and dividing.

[tex]\frac{n (1.86 * 10^5)}{1.86 * 10^5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5.062 * 10^1^3}{1.86 * 10^5}[/tex]

n = [tex]\frac{5.062 * 10^1^3}{1.86 * 10^5}[/tex]

n = 2.72 × 10^8 (Make sure to include the unit, seconds)

Answer 2

The number of seconds it takes light to travel from Sirius to Earth is [tex]2.72\times10^{8}[/tex].

Given that, the speed of light is about 1.86×10^5 miles per second. The star Sirius is about 5.062×10^13 miles from Earth.

We need to find out how many seconds it takes light to travel from Sirius to Earth.

What is scientific notation?

To determine the power or exponent of 10, let us understand how many places we need to move the decimal point after the single-digit number.

If the given number is multiples of 10 then the decimal point has to move to the left, and the power of 10 will be positive.If the given number is smaller than 1, then the decimal point has to move to the right, so the power of 10 will be negative.

Let the number of seconds it takes light to travel from Sirius to Earth be n seconds

Now, the proportion=[tex]\frac{1.86\times10^{5}}{1} =\frac{5.062\times10^{13}}{n}[/tex]

⇒[tex]n=\frac{5.062\times10^{13}}{1.86\times10^{5}}[/tex]

⇒[tex]n=2.72\times10^{13-5}=2.72\times10^{8}[/tex]

Therefore, the number of seconds it takes light to travel from Sirius to Earth is [tex]2.72\times10^{8}[/tex].

£365 is cheaper than  €425.

We want to convert both prices to the same currency. It is easier to convert pounds to euros, as the exchange rate uses £1.

€425 or £365

£365 = €(365 * 1.14)

£365 = €416.10

€425 > €416.10

hxhdhdudjfjfjfjfjjfucjdjshshsshsh

The statements that is true: B. The percent error of the prediction was about 55%.

D. Difference between the predicted and actual rainfall was 1.2 inches.

What is the percentage error?

Percentage error can be calculated  using this formula;

Percentage error = Actual value observed - Expected value /Expected value

The Percentage error is;

= 2.2 - 1.0 / 2.2

Percentage error = 1.2 /2.2

Percentage error = 0.545 × 100

Percentage error = 55% (Approximately)

Since Difference between the predicted and actual rainfall;

Difference = Actual rainfall - Predicted rainfall

Difference = 2.2 -1.2

Difference = 1.2 inches.

Hence the correct statement is option B and D.
