Answer:

91.433 million miles

Explanation:

the distance from earth to the sun is called astromical unit, or AU, which is used to measure distance throughout the solar system. so the earth and the sun are 91.433 million miles apart

A 1500 kg car drives around a flat 200-m-diameter circular track at 25m/s. What are the magnitude and direction of the net force

MakcuM [25]

The correct answer to the question is : 9375 N.

CALCULATION:

As per the question, the mass of the car m = 1500 Kg.

The diametre of the circular track D = 200 m.

Hence, the radius of the circular path R = $\frac{D}{2}$

= $\frac{200}{2}\ m$

= 100 m.

The velocity of the truck v = 25 m/s.

When a body moves in a circular path, the body needs a centripetal force which helps the body stick to the orbit. It acts along the radius and towards the centre.

Hence, the force acting on the car is centripetal force.

The magnitude of the centripetal force is calculated as -

Force F = $\frac{mv^2}{R}$

= $\frac{1500\times (25)^2}{100}\ N$

= 9375 N. [ANS}

The centripetal force is provided to the car in two ways. It is the friction which provides the necessary centripetal force. Sometimes friction is not sufficient. At that time, the road is banked to some extent which provides the necessary centripetal force.

A car initially traveling at 24 m/s slams on the brakes and moves forward 196 m before coming to a complete halt. What was the m

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

$-1.47 m/s^2$

Explanation:

We can use the following SUVAT equation to solve the problem:

$v^2 - u^2 = 2ad$

where

v = 0 is the final velocity of the car

u = 24 m/s is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

d = 196 m is the displacement of the car before coming to a stop

Solving the equation for a, we find the acceleration:

$a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2d}=\frac{0-(24)^2}{2(196)}=-1.47 m/s^2$

Why are many mitochondria needed in cells that move, like muscle cells?

Deffense [45]

Muscle cells have to use a lot of energy and the Mitochondria is known as the "power house" of the cell... I would say the number of mitochondria needed is increased because more power and energy is being used in that cell than a normal one (idk if this helps or if that's the answer you were looking for)
