Answer:

B) AU is increased by 3,000,000 miles every 15 years

Explanation:

Statement B is wrong because the AU (Astronomical Unit, which is defined as the distance between the centre of the Sun and the centre of the Earth) is approximately constant.

To be more precise, the distance between the Earth and the Sun increases approximately by 15 cm every year. This means that after 15 years, the AU will be increased by

15 cm x 15 = 225 cm = 2.25 m

Which is totally different from 3,000,000 miles of statement B. Therefore, this statement is wrong.

A current of 9 A flows through an electric device with a resistance of 43 Ω. What must be the applied voltage in this particular
NeTakaya
Answer:
387 volts

Explanation:
Ohm's law is used to relate voltage, current and resistance.
The formula is as follows:V = I * R
where:
V is the applied voltage (measured in volts)
I is the current flowing (measured in amperes)
R is the resistance (measured in ohm)

In the given, we have:
current (I) = 9 amperes
resistance (R) = 43 ohm

Substitute with the givens in the above formula to get the voltage as follows:
V = 9 * 43
V = 387 volts

Hope this helps :)

1. A stationary 50 tonne submarine fires a missile of mass 40kg at
White raven [17]

The velocity of the submarine immediately after firing the missile is 0.0104 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of the submarine M=50 tonne=50\times 1000=50000kg

Mass of the missile m=40  kg

velocity of the missile v= 13m/s

we have to calculate the velocity of the submarine after firing

This is the recoil velocity and its expression is derived from the law of conservation of momentum

recoil velocity of the submarine

V=-mv/M\\=-40\times 13/50000\\=0.0104 m/s

A hand lifts a block vertically upward at constant velocity. The work done by gravity on the block ____ if the system consists o
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

If the system consists of the block only, the work done by the gravity is negative.

If the system consists of the block and the earth the work done by the gravity is zero.

Explanation:

If the system consists of the block only, then the system experiences two external forces: one exerted by the hand that lifts the block vertically upward and other exerted by the earth (gravity), which is opposed to the movement of the system, so the work done by gravity is negative.

On the other hand, if the system consists of the block and the earth, then only exists a external force which is the exerted by the hand. So, the force exerted by gravity is zero.
