Why is AU (astronomical unit) the unit of distance that we used instead of kilometers?

Physics
1 answer:
Novay_Z [31]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The solar system is enormous, and interstellar space is even bigger. One astronomical unit is equal to 150 million kilometers. This makes it much easier to count the distances if they're in counts of Astronomic Units instead of having to count everything in millions or billions of kilometers

Notice that in each conversion factor the numerator equals the denominator when units are taken into account. A common error in
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

he factor for the temporal part 1.296 107 s² = h²

 m / s² = 12960 km / h²

Explanation:

This is a unit conversion exercise.

In the unit conversion, the size of the object is not changed, only the value with respect to which it is measured is changed, for this reason in the conversion the amount that is in parentheses must be worth one.

In this case, it is requested to convert a measure km/h²

Unfortunately, it is not clearly indicated what measure it is, but the most used unit in physics is   m / s² , which is a measure of acceleration. Let's cut this down

the factor for the distance is 1000 m = 1 km

the factor for time is 3600 s = 1 h

let's make the conversion

        m / s² (1km / 1000 m) (3600 s / 1h)²

note that as time is squared the conversion factor is also squared

        m / s² = 12960 km / h²

the factor for the temporal part 1.29 107 s² = h²

Is there a "real" simple machine that has an efficiency of 100%?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

NO

Explanation:

No, a machine cannot be 100% efficient. This is due to the movement of the moving parts siding against each other and causing friction. This friction is the one that creates heat and causes wear and tear between moving ports f the machine hence making the machine to decrease in efficiency with time

Kelly is riding a bicycle, moves with an initial velocity of 5 m/s. Ten seconds later, she is moving at 15 m/s. What is her acce
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

her acceleration is 1 m/sec

Explanation:

The following information is given in the question

The initial velocity is 5 m/s

After 10 seconds, she would be moved at 15 m/s

We need to find the acceleration

As we know that

Acceleration = Change in speed ÷ time

Acceleration = (15 - 5) ÷ (10)

= 1 m/sec

Hence, her acceleration is 1 m/sec

The same would be considered
