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

Calculate the specific heat of a metal from the following data. A container made of the metal has a mass of 3.8 kg and contains
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

C = 771.35 J/kg°C

Explanation:

Here, e consider the conservation of energy equation. The conservation of energy principle states that:

Heat Given by Metal Piece = Heat Absorbed by Water + Heat Absorbed by Container

Since,

Heat Given or Absorbed by a material = m C ΔT

Therefore,

m₁CΔT₁ = m₂CΔT₂ + m₃C₃ΔT₃

where,

m₁ = Mass of Metal Piece = 2.3 kg

C = Specific Heat of Metal = ?

ΔT₁ = Change in temperature of metal piece = 165°C - 18°C = 147°C

m₂ = Mass of Metal Container = 3.8 kg

ΔT₂ = Change in temperature of metal piece = 18°C - 15°C = 3°C

m₃ = Mass of Water = 20 kg

C₃ = Specific Heat of Water = 4200 J/kg°C

ΔT₃ = Change in temperature of water = 18°C - 15°C = 3°C

Therefore,

(2.3 kg)(C)(147°C) = (3.8 kg)(C)(3°C) + (20 kg)(4186 J/kg°C)(3°C)

C[(2.3 kg)(147°C) - (3.8 kg)(3°C)] = 252000 J

C = 252000 J/326.7 kg°C

<u>C = 771.35 J/kg°C</u>

Suppose you are on a cart, initially at rest, which rides on a frictionless horizontal track. You throw a ball at a vertical sur
Len [333]

Answer:

F_c t_ c = -F_b t_b

And the forces are equal but in the opposite direction. So then we can write by general rule:

m_c \Delta V_{c} = -m_b \Delta V_b

Or equivalently:

m_c \Delta V_{c} +m_b \Delta V_b =0

Where: V_c represent the speed of the car and V_b the speed of the ball

m_c represent the mass of the car

m_b represent the mass of the ball

Since the ball is moving to the left and we assume that the total momentum not changes then the car need to move to the right in order to satisfy the equation and satisfy the balance.

By conservation of the momentum the car will move to the right since the ball is moves to the left.

So then the correct option for this case is :

A.Yes, and it moves to the right.

Explanation:

If we assume that we have the situation in the figure attached.

For this case we assume that the momentum changes are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, so then we satisfy this:

F_c t_ c = -F_b t_b

And the forces are equal but in the opposite direction. So then we can write by general rule:

m_c \Delta V_{c} = -m_b \Delta V_b

Or equivalently:

m_c \Delta V_{c} +m_b \Delta V_b =0

Where: V_c represent the speed of the car and V_b the speed of the ball

m_c represent the mass of the car

m_b represent the mass of the ball

Since the ball is moving to the left and we assume that the total momentum not changes then the car need to move to the right in order to satisfy the equation and satisfy the balance.

By conservation of the momentum the car will move to the right since the ball is moves to the left.

So then the correct option for this case is :

A.Yes, and it moves to the right.
