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

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

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{-10}+\dfrac{1}{38}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{-19+5}{190}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{-14}{190}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow u=\dfrac{190}{-14}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow u=13.6cm$

A tennis racket hits a tennis ball with a force of F=at−bt2, where a = 1290 N/ms , b = 330 N/ms2 , and t is the time (in millise

denpristay [2]

Answer:

The resulting velocity of the ball after it hits the racket was of V= 51.6 m/s

Explanation:

m= 55.6 g = 0.0556 kg

t= 2.8 ms = 2.8 * 10⁻³ s

F= 1290 N/ms * t - 330 N/ms² * t²

F= 1024.8 N

F*t= m * V

V= F*t/m

V= 51.6 m/s

What is the centripetal acceleration of the earth as it travels around the sun when Earth has an orbital radius of 1.5 x 10^11 m

masya89 [10]

Answer: $0.0058 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration $a_{C}$ is calculated by the following equation:

$a_{C}=\frac{V^{2}}{r}$

Where:

$V=29.7 \frac{km}{h} \frac{1000 m}{1 km}=29700 m/s$ is the Earth's orbital speed

$r=1.5(10)^{11} m$ is the orbital radius

$a_{C}=\frac{(29700 m/s)^{2}}{1.5(10)^{11} m}$

$a_{C}=0.0058 m/s^{2}$

Theories are usually backed up with a lot of evidence. If the evidence is well studied then it is useful information.
