Answer:

Advantage:

Apparent solar time gives the exact location of sun in the sky according to your precise location.

Disadvantage:

As the apparent solar time changes with the change in longitude. It is very difficult to track these changes in longitude. Hence, it is almost impossible to make plan for events.

Improvement in situation:

Situation can be improved using mean solar time because due to this people living in the longitude band agree upon a standard time. In this way, it is easy to plan for events.

An asteroid orbits the Sun every 176 years. What is the asteroids average distance from the Sun? P ^ 2 = a ^ 3 where p = period

KatRina [158]

Answer:

The value is $x = 45.99 \ Au$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The period of the asteroid is $T = 176 \ years = 176 * 365 * 24 * 60* 60 = 5.55*10^{9}\ s$

Generally the average distance of the asteroid from the sun is mathematically represented as

$R = \sqrt[3]{ \frac{G M * T^2 }{4 \pi} }$

Here M is the mass of the sun with a value

$M = 1.99*10^{30} \ kg$

G is the gravitational constant with value $G = 6.67 *10^{-11} \ m^3 \cdot kg^{-1} \cdot s^{-2}$

$R = \sqrt[3]{ \frac{6.67 *10^{-11} * 1.99*10^{30} * [5.55 *10^{9}]^2 }{4 * 3.142 } }$

=> $R = 6.88 *10^{12} \ m$

Generally

$1.496* 10^{11} \ m \to 1 Au (Astronomical \ unit )$

So

$R = 6.88 *10^{12} \ m \ \ \ \ \to \ \ x \ Au$

=> $x = \frac{6.88 *10^{12}}{1.496 *10^{11}}$

=> $x = 45.99 \ Au$

Captain John Stapp is often referred to as the "fastest man on Earth." In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Stapp ran the U.S. Air

Answer:

The sled needed a distance of 92.22 m and a time of 1.40 s to stop.

Explanation:

The relationship between velocities and time is described by this equation: $v_f=v_0+a*t$ , where $v_f$ is the final velocity, $v_0$ is the initial velocity, $a$ the acceleration, and $t$ is the time during such acceleration is applied.

Solving the equation for the time, and applying to the case: $t=\frac{v_f-v_0}{a}=\frac{0\frac{m}{s}-282\frac{m}{s} }{-201\frac{m}{s^2} }=1.40s$ , where $v_f=0\frac{m}{s}$ because the sled is totally stopped, $v_0=282\frac{m}{s}$ is the velocity of the sled before braking and, $a=-201\frac{m}{s^2}$ is negative because the deceleration applied by the brakes.

In the other hand, the equation that describes the distance in term of velocities and acceleration: $x_f-x_0=v_0*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2$ , where $x_f-x_0$ is the distance traveled, $v_0$ is the initial velocity, $t$ the time of the process and, $a$ is the acceleration of the process.

Then for this case the relationship becomes: $x_f-x_0=282\frac{m}{s} *1.40s+\frac{1}{2}(-201\frac{m}{s})*(1.40s)^2=94.22m$ .

<u>Note that the acceleration is negative because is a braking process.</u>
