For astronomical objects, the time period can be calculated using:
T² = (4π²a³)/GM
where T is time in Earth years, a is distance in Astronomical units, M is solar mass (1 for the sun)
Thus,
T² = a³
a = ∛(29.46²)
a = 0.67 AU
1 AU = 1.496 × 10⁸ Km
0.67 * 1.496 × 10⁸ Km
= 1.43 × 10⁹ Km

Answer:

For astronomical objects, the time period can be calculated using:

T² = (4π²a³)/GM

where T is time in Earth years, a is distance in Astronomical units, M is solar mass (1 for the sun)

Thus,

T² = a³

a = ∛(29.46²)

a = 0.67 AU

1 AU = 1.496 × 10⁸ Km

0.67 * 1.496 × 10⁸ Km

= 1.43 × 10⁹ Km

When an object travels a large distance in a small amount of time, the object's speed is
Kisachek [45]
If I were to go from the United States to China in one second, that's a large distance in an incredibly short time. I'd say that's pretty fast.

If I were to go from my room to the door of my room in a year, then that would be unbearably slow.

[High Dive) above a pool of water. According to the announcer, the divers enter the water at a speed of 56 mi/h (25 m/s). (Air r
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

(a) The announcer's claim is incorrect because the divers enter at a speed of 20.4 and not 25 m/s as announced

(b)  it’s possible for a diver to enter the water with the velocity of 25 m/s if he has initial velocity of 14.4 m/s. The upward initial velocity can’t be physically attained

Explanation:

(a)

To find the final velocity V_{f} for an object traveling distance h taking the initial vertical component of velocity as V_{i} the kinematics equation is written as

V_{f}^{2}=V_{i}^{2}+2ah where a is acceleration

Substituting g for a where g is gravitational force value taken as 9.81

V_{f}^{2}=V_{i}^{2}+2gh

Since the initial velocity is zero, we can solve for final velocity by substituting figures, note that 70 ft is 21.3 m for h

V_{f}=\sqrt {(2gh)}= V_{f}=\sqrt {(2*9.81*21.3)}= 20.44275

Therefore, the divers enter with a speed of 20.4 m/s

The announcer's claim is incorrect because the divers enter at a speed of 20.4 and not 25 m/s as announced

(b)

The divers can enter water with a velocity of 25 m/s only if they have some initial velocity. Using the kinematic equation

V_{f}^{2}=V_{i}^{2}+2gh

Since we have final velocity of 25 m/s

V_{i}^{2}=2gh-V_{f}^{2}

V_{i}=\sqrt{(V_{f}^{2}-2gh)}

V_{i}=\sqrt{(25^{2}-2*9.81*21.3)}= 14.390761 m/s

Therefore, it’s possible for a diver to enter the water with the velocity of 25 m/5 if he has initial velocity of 14.4 m/s

In conclusion, the upward initial velocity can’t be physically attained
