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.

Firdavs [7]

1) See three Kepler laws below

2a) Acceleration is 2.2 m/s^2

2b) Tension in the string: 27.4 N

3a) Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, potential energy is the energy due to the position

3b) The kinetic energy of the object is 2.25 J

Explanation:

1)

There are three Kepler's law of planetary motion:

  1. 1st law: the planets orbit the sun in elliptical orbits, with the Sun located at one of the 2 focii
  2. 2nd law: a segment connecting the Sun with each planet sweeps out equal areas in equal time intervals. A direct consequence of this is that, when a planet is further from the sun, it travels slower, and when it is closer to the sun, it travels faster
  3. 3rd law: the square of the period of revolution of a planet around the sun is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit. Mathematically, T^2 \propto r^3, where T is the period of revolution and r is the semi-major axis of the orbit

2a)

To solve the problem, we have to write the equation of motions for each block along the direction parallel to the incline.

For the block on the right, we have:

M g sin \theta - T = Ma (1)

where

Mg sin \theta is the component of the weight of the block parallel to the incline, with

M = 8.0 kg (mass of the block)

g=9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration of gravity)

\theta=35^{\circ}

T = tension in the string

a = acceleration of the block

For the block on the left, we have similarly

T-mg sin \theta = ma (2)

where

m = 3.5 kg (mass of the block)

\theta=35^{\circ}

From (2) we get

T=mg sin \theta + ma

Substituting into (1),

M g sin \theta - mg sin \theta - ma = Ma

Solving for a,

a=\frac{M-m}{M+m}g sin \theta=\frac{8.0-3.5}{8.0+3.5}(9.8)(sin 35^{\circ})=2.2 m/s^2

2b)

The tension in the string can be calculated using the equation

T=mg sin \theta + ma

where

m = 3.5 kg (mass of lighter block)

g=9.8 m/s^2

\theta=35^{\circ}

a=2.2 m/s^2 (acceleration found in part 2)

Substituting,

T=(3.5)(9.8)(sin 35^{\circ}) +(3.5)(2.2)=27.4 N

3a)

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy due to its motion. It is calculated as

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

The potential energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its position in a gravitational field. For an object near the Earth's surface, it is given by

U=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the strength of the gravitational field

h is the heigth of the object relative to the ground

3b)

The kinetic energy of an object is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

For the object in this problem,

m = 500 g = 0.5 kg

v = 3 m/s

Substituting, we find its kinetic energy:

K=\frac{1}{2}(0.5)(3)^2=2.25 J

Kyle is flying a helicopter at 125 m/s on a heading of 325 o . If a wind is blowing at 25 m/s toward a direction of 240.0 o , wh
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The resultant velocity of the helicopter is \vec v_{H} = \left(89.894\,\frac{m}{s}, -93.348\,\frac{m}{s}\right).

Explanation:

Physically speaking, the resulting velocity of the helicopter (\vec v_{H}), measured in meters per second, is equal to the absolute velocity of the wind (\vec v_{W}), measured in meters per second, plus the velocity of the helicopter relative to wind (\vec v_{H/W}), also call velocity at still air, measured in meters per second. That is:

\vec v_{H} = \vec v_{W}+\vec v_{H/W} (1)

In addition, vectors in rectangular form are defined by the following expression:

\vec v = \|\vec v\| \cdot (\cos \alpha, \sin \alpha) (2)

Where:

\|\vec v\| - Magnitude, measured in meters per second.

\alpha - Direction angle, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

Then, (1) is expanded by applying (2):

\vec v_{H} = \|\vec v_{W}\| \cdot (\cos \alpha_{W},\sin \alpha_{W}) +\|\vec v_{H/W}\| \cdot (\cos \alpha_{H/W},\sin \alpha_{H/W}) (3)

\vec v_{H} = \left(\|\vec v_{W}\|\cdot \cos \alpha_{W}+\|\vec v_{H/W}\|\cdot \cos \alpha_{H/W}, \|\vec v_{W}\|\cdot \sin \alpha_{W}+\|\vec v_{H/W}\|\cdot \sin \alpha_{H/W} \right)

If we know that \|\vec v_{W}\| = 25\,\frac{m}{s}, \|\vec v_{H/W}\| = 125\,\frac{m}{s}, \alpha_{W} = 240^{\circ} and \alpha_{H/W} = 325^{\circ}, then the resulting velocity of the helicopter is:

\vec v_{H} = \left(\left(25\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \cos 240^{\circ}+\left(125\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \cos 325^{\circ}, \left(25\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \sin 240^{\circ}+\left(125\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \sin 325^{\circ}\right)\vec v_{H} = \left(89.894\,\frac{m}{s}, -93.348\,\frac{m}{s}\right)

The resultant velocity of the helicopter is \vec v_{H} = \left(89.894\,\frac{m}{s}, -93.348\,\frac{m}{s}\right).
