Atomic mass unit (amu)

That's going to depend on exactly what you want to measure about the particles. If it's the particle's mass then the unit is related to the kilogram. If your measuring the size of the particle then you will use a unit related to the meter. If you want to measure the age of the particle then you'll use a unit related to the second.

Answer:

150000000000 m

0.0000005 seconds

33.33 ns

Explanation:

Speed of electromagnetic waves through vacuum = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

Echo time = 1000 seconds

Echo time is the time taken to reach the object and come back to the observer

Distance = Speed×Time

$Distance=3\times 10^8\times \frac{1000}{2}=150000000000\ m$

Venus is 150000000000 m away from Earth

Time = Distance / Speed

$Time=\frac{75}{3\times 10^8}=0.00000025\ seconds$

Echo time will be twice the time

$Echo\ time=2\times 0.00000025=0.0000005\ seconds$

The echo time will be 0.0000005 seconds

Difference in time = Difference in distance / Speed

$\Delta t=\frac{\Delta d}{v}\\\Rightarrow \Delta t=\frac{10}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow \Delta=33.33\ ns$

The accuracy by which I will be able to measure the echo time is 33.33 ns

Death Star has a diameter of 160,000m and a mass of 5.1e17kg. Millennium Falcon has a mass of 1.36e6kg (data from Wookieepedia)

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

7229 N

Explanation:

The gravitational force between the Death Star and the Millenium Falcon is given by:

$F=G\frac{mM}{R^2}$

where

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

$M=5.1\cdot 10^{17} kg$ is the mass of the Death Star

$m=1.36\cdot 10^6 kg$ is the mass of the Millennium Falcon

$R=\frac{160,000 m}{2}=80,000 m$ is the radius of the Death Star

Substituting numbers into the equation, we find the force

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(1.36\cdot 10^6 kg)(5.1\cdot 10^{17} kg)}{(80,000 m)^2}=7229 N$

As an object rolls downhill, some of the energy is

Charra [1.4K]

When the object is at the top of the hill it has the most potential energy. If it is sitting still, it has no kinetic energy. As the object begins to roll down the hill, it loses potential energy, but gains kinetic energy. The potential energy of the position of the object at the top of the hill is getting converted into kinetic energy. Hope this helped. :)
