I guess the problem is asking for the distance between Earth and Mars in Astronomical Units (AU).

Since 1 AU = 1.5 \cdot 10^8 km
and the distance between the two planets is
d=225 mil. km= 2.25 \cdot 10^8 km
we can convert this distance into AU by using the following proportion:
1 AU : 1.5 \cdot 10^8 km = x : 2.25 \cdot 10^8 km

from which we find
x= \frac{1 AU \cdot 2.25 \cdot 10^8 km}{1.5 \cdot 10^8 km} =1.5 AU

AU = 1.5 × 108  yes that is correct.

An object falls a distance h from rest. If it travels 0.560h in the last 1.00 s, find (a) the time and (b) the height of its fal
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

(a) t = 2.97s

(b) h = 43.3 m

Explanation:

Let t be the time it takes to fall a distance h, then t - 1 (s) is the time it takes to fall a distance of h - 0.56h = 0.44 h

For the ball to fall from rest a distance of h after time t

h = gt^2/2

Also for the ball to fall from rest a distance of 0.44h after time (t-1)

0.44h = g(t-1)^2/2

We can substitute the 1st equation into the 2nd one

0.44gt^2/2 = g(t-1)^2/2

and divide both sides by g/2

0.44t^2 = (t-1)^2

0.44t^2 = t^2 - 2t + 1

0.56t^2 - 2t + 1 = 0

t= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

t= \frac{2\pm \sqrt{(-2)^2 - 4*(0.56)*(1)}}{2*(0.56)}

t= \frac{2\pm1.33}{1.12}

t = 2.97 or t = 0.6

Since t can only be > 1 s we will pick t = 2.97 s

(b) h = gt^2/2 = 43.3 m

You push a 28kg wheelbarrow forward at a constant velocity with 600 N of force. How much is friction pushing backwards?
AlladinOne [14]

F = applied force on the wheelbarrow in forward direction = 600 N

f = frictional force pushing in backward direction of wheelbarrow = ?

m = mass of the wheelbarrow = 28 kg

Since wheelbarrow moves forward at a constant velocity

a = acceleration of the wheelbarrow in forward direction = 0 m/s²

force equation for the motion of wheelbarrow in forward direction is given as

F - f = ma

inserting the above values in the formula

600 - f = (28) (0)

600 - f = 0

f = 600 N

hence the frictional force comes out to be 600 N

An attractive force of 7.2 N occurs between two charges that are 0.20 m apart. If one charge is 4.0 μC, what is the other charge
VikaD [51]
F = ko *Q_1 * Q_2 / d^2

Q_2 = F*d^2 / [ko*Q_1] = 7.2 N * (0.2m)^2 / [9.0 x 10^9 N/m^2C^2 * 4.0 x 10^-6C] = 8x10^-6C = 8 microC
