Differences Between light year and astronomical unit in two points .

Physics
1 answer:
hichkok12 [17]3 years ago
5 0

One astronomical unit (AU) is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun, which is about 93-million miles or about 8.5 light-minutes.

A light-year is the distance light travels in one year in a vacuum, which is about 6-trillion miles. One light-year is about 64,500 times longer than one AU.

in the derivation of the time period of a pendulum in electric field when considering the fbd of bob to find the g effective why
Neko [114]

Answer:

we learned that an object that is vibrating is acted upon by a restoring force. The restoring force causes the vibrating object to slow down as it moves away from the equilibrium position and to speed up as it approaches the equilibrium position. It is this restoring force that is responsible for the vibration. So what forces act upon a pendulum bob? And what is the restoring force for a pendulum? There are two dominant forces acting upon a pendulum bob at all times during the course of its motion. There is the force of gravity that acts downward upon the bob. It results from the Earth's mass attracting the mass of the bob. And there is a tension force acting upward and towards the pivot point of the pendulum. The tension force results from the string pulling upon the bob of the pendulum. In our discussion, we will ignore the influence of air resistance - a third force that always opposes the motion of the bob as it swings to and fro. The air resistance force is relatively weak compared to the two dominant forces.

The gravity force is highly predictable; it is always in the same direction (down) and always of the same magnitude - mass*9.8 N/kg. The tension force is considerably less predictable. Both its direction and its magnitude change as the bob swings to and fro. The direction of the tension force is always towards the pivot point. So as the bob swings to the left of its equilibrium position, the tension force is at an angle - directed upwards and to the right. And as the bob swings to the right of its equilibrium position, the tension is directed upwards and to the left. The diagram below depicts the direction of these two forces at five different positions over the course of the pendulum's path.

that's what I know so far

A 51.0 kg crate, starting from rest, is pulled across a floor with a constant horizontal force of 225 N. For the first 10.0 m th
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

The final speed of the crate is 12.07 m/s.

Explanation:

For the first 10.0 meters, the only force acting on the crate is 225 N, so we can calculate the acceleration as follows:

F = ma

a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{225 N}{51.0 kg} = 4.41 m/s^{2}

Now, we can calculate the final speed of the crate at the end of 10.0 m:

v_{f}^{2} = v_{0}^{2} + 2ad_{1}                  

v_{f} = \sqrt{0 + 2*4.41 m/s^{2}*10.0 m} = 9.39 m/s    

For the next 10.5 meters we have frictional force:

F - F_{\mu} = ma

F - \mu mg = ma

So, the acceleration is:

a = \frac{F - \mu mg}{m} = \frac{225 N - 0.17*51.0 kg*9.81 m/s^{2}}{51.0 kg} = 2.74 m/s^{2}

The final speed of the crate at the end of 10.0 m will be the initial speed of the following 10.5 meters, so:

v_{f}^{2} = v_{0}^{2} + 2ad_{2}  

v_{f} = \sqrt{(9.39 m/s)^{2} + 2*2.74 m/s^{2}*10.5 m} = 12.07 m/s  

Therefore, the final speed of the crate after being pulled these 20.5 meters is 12.07 m/s.  

I hope it helps you!

Which of the following would be a good question that could be scientifically investigated? What is the best advice a parent can
Nesterboy [21]
<span>"Does lack of sunlight affect plant growth?"

This question can be investigated with procedures according to
the Scientific Method, because "lack of sunlight" can be arranged
unambiguously, and "affected plant growth" can be identified
unambiguously.

The other questions involve words or phrases with ambiguous definitions,
that can mean different things to different people, and would be hard to
agree on, like  "</span><span>best advice",  "sound quality",  and  "happiness in life".</span>
