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

Physics
1 answer:
Novay_Z [31]4 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

A small electronic device is rated at 0.16 W when connected to 115 V. What is the resistance of this device?
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

150156.25 Ω

Explanation:

Resistance: This can be defined as the opposition to the flow of electric current in a circuit. The S.I unit of resistance is Ohm's (Ω)

The expression for resistance is given as

P = V²/R................ equation 1

Where P = power, V = Voltage, R = Resistance.

Making R the subject of the equation,

R = V²/P.................. Equation 2

Given: V = 115 V , P = 0.16 W.

Substitute into equation 2

R = 155²/0.16

R = 150156.25 Ω

Hence,

The resistance = 150156.25 Ω

When an object is in circular motion it is constantly changing its velocity.
EleoNora [17]

Its tangential speed is constant although its velocity is changing. As the object changes direction, it results in a changing of positive and negative signs of the velocity. Although, the magnitude of the velocity (speed) is not changing.

12. A rocket, initially at rest on the ground, accelerates vertically. It accelerates uniformly until it
vodomira [7]

Answer:

We kindly invite you to read carefully the explanation and check the image attached below.

Explanation:

According to this problem, the rocket is accelerated uniformly due to thrust during 30 seconds and after that is decelerated due to gravity. The velocity as function of initial velocity, acceleration and time is:

v_{f} = v_{o}+a\cdot (t-t_{o}) (1)

Where:

v_{o} - Initial velocity, measured in meters per second.

v_{f} - Final velocity, measured in meters per second.

a - Acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

t_{o} - Initial time, measured in seconds.

t - Final time, measured in seconds.

Now we obtain the kinematic equations for thrust and free fall stages:

Thrust (v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, a = 30\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, t_{o} = 0\,s, 0\,s\le t< 30\,s)

v = 30\cdot t (2)

Free fall (v_{o} = 900\,\frac{m}{s}, a = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s}, t_{o} = 30\,s, 30\,s \le t \le 120\,s)

v = 900-9.81\cdot (t-30) (3)

Now we created the graph speed-time, which can be seen below.
