Can you just check my answer? . light travels 300,000,000 m/s, and one year has approximately 32,000,000 seconds. a light year is the distance light travels in one year.. state this distance in centimeters.. i'm assuming that this is asking the distance light travels. well i multiplied 32,000,000*300,000,000 and got 9.6x10^(15). putting that into centimeters gave me 9.6x10^(17). however, all of the answers i am allowed to choose from are in 1x10^x. so i guess they rounded the 9.6 to 10, but when put in sci. notation it looks like 1. so would that make my answer 1x10^(17)? i would think so because even though i rounded 9.6 to 10, giving me 10x10^(16) (b/c i took one away from behind the decimal point) and then when i put it in correct sci. notation, i would put the other zero behind the decimal point, giving me 1x10^(17)? right? . , y'all!

Complete these sentences. if a roller coaster train has a potential energy of 1,500 j and a kinetic energy of 500 j as it starts to travel downhill, its total energy isj. once the roller coaster train gets closer to the bottom of the hill, its kinetic energy increases to 1,100 j, and its potential energy decreases to j. when the train reaches the bottom of the track and is traveling along the ground, its kinetic energy isj.
