Answer is: <span>Distance between the sun and Earth

Explanation:
</span><span>Distance between Earth and Saturn is not correct answer because this distance varies greatly. When comparing distance we need some distance that is pretty much the same all the times. This is why distance between the sun and Earth is chosen to meassure distances in solar system.
Answers "</span>Speed of rotation of Saturn" and "<span>Speed of rotation of Earth" are not correct because they represent speed which can not measure distance.</span>

Answer:

Distance between earth and sun.

Explanation:

The distance between earth and sun is used to compare the distance between the objects in our solar system. It is because the distance between earth and sun is called as one Astronomical unit.

1 Astronomical unit (AU) is equal to 149,597,870.7 Km.

It is the mean distance between earth and sun.

The time taken by light to cover 1 Astronomical Unit is 499 seconds.

This is a big unit of distance.

. (a) How high a hill can a car coast up (engine disengaged) if work done by friction is negligible and its initial speed is 110
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

(a) the high of a hill that car can coast up (engine disengaged) if work done by friction is negligible and its initial speed is 110 km/h is 47.6 m

(b) thermal energy was generated by friction is 1.88 x 10^{5} J

(C) the average force of friction if the hill has a slope 2.5º above the horizontal is 373 N

Explanation:

given information:

m = 750 kg

initial velocity, v_{0} = 110 km/h = 110 x 1000/3600 = 30.6 m/s\frac{30.6^{2} }{2x9.8}

initial height, h_{0} = 22 m

slope, θ = 2.5°

(a) How high a hill can a car coast up (engine disengaged) if work done by friction is negligible and its initial speed is 110 km/h?

according to conservation-energy

EP = EK

mgh = \frac{1}{2} mv_{0} ^{2}

gh = \frac{1}{2} v_{0} ^{2}

h = \frac{v_{0} ^{2} }{2g}

  = 47.6 m

(b) If, in actuality, a 750-kg car with an initial speed of 110 km/h is observed to coast up a hill to a height 22.0 m above its starting point, how much thermal energy was generated by friction?

thermal energy = mgΔh

                         = mg (h - h_{0})

                         = 750 x 9.8 x (47.6 - 22)

                         = 188160 Joule

                         = 1.88 x 10^{5} J

(c) What is the average force of friction if the hill has a slope 2.5º above the horizontal?

f d  = mgΔh

f = mgΔh / d,

where h = d sin θ, d = h/sinθ

therefore

f = (mgΔh) / (h/sinθ)

 = 1.88 x 10^{5}/(22/sin 2.5°)

 = 373 N

While seeds are forming, another plant part forms around them. Animals eat this part and carry the seeds to a new spot.
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is D) fruit</em>

Explanation:

Both the gymnosperm and the angiosperms plants produce seed. Seeds are an essential part of reproduction in plants.

After fertilization has occurred, the ripened ovule is the part which turns into a seed. The size of the seeds depends on the type if plant.

After fertilization, the ovary forms the fruit. As the ovule is present in the ovule hence after fertilization, the seed which was made from the ovule gets enclosed in the fruit which was made from the ovary.

Q.Solve the following circuit find total resistance RT. Also find value of voltage across resister RC.
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

R_total = 14.57 Ω ,  V_C = 1.176 V

Explanation:

To solve this circuit we are going to find the equivalent resistance of each branch, let's remember

* Serial resistance  

         R_{eq} = ∑ R_{i}

* For resistance in parallel

        1 / R_{eq} = ∑ 1/R_{i}

We solve the two branches of the wheatstone bridge

Series resistors

Branch B

         R_B = Rb + R4

         R_B = 2 + 18

         R_B = 20 Ω

Branch C

         R_C5 = Rc + R5

         R_C5 = 3 + 12

         R_C5 = 15 Ω

Resistance in parallel R_B and R_C5

         1 / R_BC = 1 / R_B + 1 / R_C5

          1 / R_BC = 1/20 + 1/15 = 0.116666

          R_BC = 8.57 Ω

Now we have a single branch, we solve the series resistance

          R_total = R_A + R_BC

          R_total = 6 + 8.57

          R_total = 14.57 Ω

b) they ask us for the voltage in the resistance R_C

Let's remember that the voltage in a series circuit is the sum of the voltages

           10 = V_a + V_BC

           10 = i R_a + i R_BC = i (R_a + R_BC)

           i = 10 / (R_a + R_BC)

           i = 10 / (14.57)

           i = 0.6863 A

The current in the series circuit is constant

          V_BC = i R_BC

          V_BC = 0.6863 8.57

          V_BC = 5.8819 V

This voltage is divided in the bridge, for the two branches in parallel it is the same, but the resistance is different in each branch.

     Branch C

             V_BC = i R_C5

             i = V_BC / R_C5

             i = 5.8819 / 15

             i = 0.39213 A

In this branch we have two resistors in series, let's remember that the current in a series circuit is constant

             V_C = i R_C

              V_C = 0.39213 3

              V_C = 1.176 V

A 1200 kg car reaches the top of a 100 m high hill at A with a speed vA. What is the value of vA that will allow the car to coas
Pavel [41]

Complete question is:

A 1200 kg car reaches the top of a 100 m high hill at A with a speed vA. What is the value of vA that will allow the car to coast in neutral so as to just reach the top of the 150 m high hill at B with vB = 0 m/s. Neglect friction.

Answer:

(V_A) = 31.32 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

car's mass, m = 1200 kg

h_A = 100 m

h_B = 150 m

v_B = 0 m/s

From law of conservation of energy,

the distance from point A to B is;

h = 150m - 100 m = 50 m

From Newton's equations of motion;

v² = u² + 2gh

Thus;

(V_B)² = (V_A)² + (-2gh)

(negative next to g because it's going against gravity)

Thus;

(V_B)² = (V_A)² - (2gh)

Plugging in the relevant values;

0² = (V_A)² - 2(9.81 × 50)

(V_A) = √981

(V_A) = 31.32 m/s
