(ik it says physics but astronomy is a field of physics sooo) A recently discovered planet in a different solar system is located 1.85 x 10^15 Miles from earth. To the nearest 10th of a light year, how far is this planet from earth? ly= 8.6

The distance, to the nearest tenth, is 314.9 light-years.

The given data is:

A recently discovered planet is located 1.85*10^5 miles from Earth.

Now we want to transform this distance to light-years.

Remember that a light-year is defined as "the distance that the light would travel in one year".

using the relation:

distance = speed*time

The speed of light is:

speed = 6.706*10^8 mi/h

And in one year has 8760 hours, then we have:

time = 8760 h

replacing these in the equation we get:

distance = speed*time

distance = (6.706*10^8 mi/h)*(8760 h)  = 5,874,456,000,000 miles

Son one light-year is equivalent to 5,874,456,000,000 miles

1 light-year = 5,874,456,000,000 miles

So to transform a distance in miles to light-years, we just need to divide that distance by 5,874,456,000,000 miles:

The distance between the new planet and Earth was:

D = 1.85*10^15 mi = ( 1.85*10^15)/(5,874,456,000,000) = 314.9 light-years.

when insulating materials rub against each other, they may become electrically charged . electrons , which are negatively charged, may be 'rubbed off' one material and on to the other. the material that gains electrons becomes negatively charged. the material that loses electrons is left with a positive charge.
