Question 83:
The speed of light in vaccum is 3 × 108 m/s. Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach the earth. Express distance of Sun from Earth in standard form.
Answer:
The speed of light in vaccum is 3 × 108 m/s.
Sunlight takes about 8 minutes = 8 × 60 = 480 seconds to reach the earth.
The distance of Sun from Earth in standard form = Speed × Time = 3 × 108 m/s × 480 s = 1.44 × 1011 m

If 2n+2 – 2n+1 + 2n = c × 2n, find the value of c.
Answer:
2n+2 – 2n+1 + 2n = c × 2n
⇒2n(22 – 2 + 1) = c × 2n
⇒2n(22 – 2 + 1) = c × 2n
⇒2n(3) = c × 2n
⇒c = 3

Question 91:
A light year is the distance that light can travel in one year. 1 light year = 9,460,000,000,000 km.
(a) Express one light year in scientific notation.
(b) The average distance between Earth and Sun is 1.496 × 108 km. Is the distance between Earth and the Sun greater than, less than or equal to one light year?
Answer:
(a) 1 light year = 9,460,000,000,000 km = 9.46 × 1013 km
(b) The average distance between Earth and Sun is 1.496 × 108 km.
Clearly, 9.46 × 1013 km > 1.496 × 108 km,
The distance between Earth and the Sun less than one light year

Question 95:
Life Science Application: The major components of human blood are red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma. A typical red blood cell has a diameter of approximately 7 × 10–6 metres. A typical platelet has a diameter of approximately 2.33 × 10–6 metre. Which has a greater diameter, a red blood cell or a platelet?
Answer:
A typical red blood cell has a diameter of approximately 7 × 10–6 metres.
A typical platelet has a diameter of approximately 2.33 × 10–6 metre.
As 7 × 10–6 metres > 2.33 × 10–6 metre
Red blood cell has a greater diameter than the diameter of the platelet.
