Why do astronomers use the astronomical unit to measure distance of the solar system?

1 answer:

4 0

An astronomical unit is the measure of the center of the Earth to the center of the sun.

Because our solar system is so vast, using mere miles is ridiculous, because they are too small to be helpful and the numbers will be in the billions. Astronomical units make it easier to think in small amounts.

Hope this helps :)

An electron is released from rest in a uniform electric field and accelerates to the east at a rate of 4x106m/s2. What is the ma

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force on electron in an electric field E = eE where E is electric field .

acceleration = eE / m where m is mass of electron .

Putting the values

4 x 10⁶ = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x E / 9.1 x 10⁻³¹

E = 22.75 x 10⁻⁶ N/C

The direction of electric field will be towards west ( opposite to east )

because of negative charge on electron .
