The driver of a car traveling at 60 mph slams on the brakes, and the car skids to a halt. What happened to the kinetic energy the car had just before stopping?
Astronomers using a -m-diameter telescope observe a distant supernova—an exploding star. The telescope’s detector records of light energy during the first 10 s. It’s known that this type of supernova has a visible-light power output of for the first 10 s of the explosion. How distant is the supernova? Give your answer in light years, where one light year is the distance light travels in one year. The speed of light is .
