Answer:
Use of telemetry and radar astronomy
Explanation:
An astronomical Unit (AU) is a unit of measuring distances in outer space, which is based on the approximate distance between the earth and the Sun.
After several years of trying to approximate the distance between the Sun and the Earth using several methods based on geometry and some other calculations, advancements in technology made available the presence of special motoring equipment, which can be placed in outer space to remotely monitor and measure the position of the sun.
The use of direct radar measurements to the sun (radar astronomy) have also made the determination of the AU more accurate.
A standard radar pulse of known speed is sent to the Sun, and the time with which it takes to return is measured, once this is recorded, the distance between the Earth and the Sun can be calculated using
distance = speed X time.
However, most of these means have to be corrected for parallax errors
Answer:
a.) L = 2.64 kgm^2/s
b.) V = 4.4 m/s
Explanation: Jessica stretches her arms out 0.60 m from the center of her body. This will be considered as radius.
So,
Radius r = 0.6 m
Mass M = 2 kg
Velocity V = 1.1 m/s
Angular momentum L can be expressed as;
L = MVr
Substitute all the parameters into the formula
L = 2 × 1.1 × 0.6 = 1.32kgm^2s^-1
the combined angular momentum of the masses will be 2 × 1.32 = 2.64 kgm^2s-1
b. If she pulls her arms into 0.15 m,
New radius = 0.15 m
Using the same formula again
L = 2( MVr)
2.64 = 2( 2 × V × 0.15 )
1.32 = 0.3 V
V = 1.32/0.3
V = 4.4 m/s
Her new linear speed will be 4.4 m/s
The friction is 2.5N. The Net force is 10 N - 2.5 N .= 7.5 N.
acceleration = 7.5 / 5 = 1.5 m/s^2
Answer: 735 N
Explanation:
Weight
is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object and is directly proportional to the product of the mass
of the body by the acceleration of gravity
:
In the case of our planet Earth, the acceleration due gravity is
. So for a man whose mass is
, his weight is:
There are usually multiple methods for organizing items and information in a scientific investigation.
