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 cart is set up as shown below, with three fans directed to the left and two of the fans running. The motion of the cart is rep
sasho [114]
The force of 3 fans would be grater than the force of 2 fans. 
So the cart would have greater acceleration to the right, and
it would reach a greater speed to the right.  The resulting
'v' vs 't' graph would have a greater positive slope, and would
be higher at any given time.

You might get a better answer if you let us actually SEE the
picture and the graph.

How did ancient civilizations perform astronomical measurements
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

The early observations in Astronomy were used to determine the length of the year and to determine the seasons, which is an important factor in knowing when plants will grow. In the early days, astronomy consisted only of observations and projections of objects that could be seen by ordinary eyes.

Explanation:

Astronomy is the oldest of the modern natural sciences. It probably came with the need for a calendar. In ancient times, astronomers were monks, shamans, druids, and priests. At that time, astronomy was considered astrological. In some places, early civilizations have created great spaces for some astronomical purposes. In addition to rituals, these early observations were used to determine the length of the year and to determine the seasons, which is an important factor in knowing when plants will grow. In the early days, astronomy consisted only of observations and projections of objects that could be seen by ordinary eyes. According to some estimates, Stonheng, the Ziggurats in Mesopotamia, and the Pyramids of the Stones and the Chinese are the oldest observatory. Moon calendars are still considered very accurate today. Similarly, Chinese star catalogs are a valuable source for studying ancient astronomical events. Greek scholars made a special contribution to the development of astronomy. Aristotle, Ptolemy, Hipparchus, Fales, Aratos were engaged in astronomy along with other scientific discoveries. Ptolemy has developed the Geocentric Theory to explain the planetary movement of planets. According to this theory, the earth remains stationary in the center of the world, and all the celestial bodies revolve around it. Ptolemy commented regularly on Almagest. The training continued until the 16th century. Despite religious resistance, this training has been replaced by training in the world's heliocentric system. It is thought that the 6,500-year-old megaliths (Nabta Playa, Stonehenge), planted by ancient people, were used for astronomical observation. In the Rig Veda, there are 27 constellations and 13 separate constellations associated with the movement of the sun. The most important contribution made by ancient Greeks to astrology is that they have tried to classify stars according to their size.

John Purchased 6 Kg And 500 Kg of suger and 12kg and 400g of rice.what is the total mass of the suger and rice that he purchased
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Total Mass = 18 kg 900 gram

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of sugar buy = 6 kg 500 gram

Mass of rice buy = 12 kg 400 gram

Find:

Total Mass

Computation:

Total Mass = Mass of sugar buy + Mass of rice buy

Total Mass = 6 kg 500 gram + 12 kg 400 gram

Total Mass = 18 kg 900 gram

50 grams of ice cubes at -15°C are used to chill a water at 30°C with mass mH20 = 200 g. Assume that the water is kept in a foam
Arada [10]

Answer : The final temperature is, 25.0^oC

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat of ice = 2.09J/g^oC

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.18J/g^oC

m_1 = mass of ice = 50 g

m_2 = mass of water = 200 g

T_f = final temperature = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of ice = -15^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 30^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

50g\times 2.09J/g^oC\times (T_f-(-15))^oC=-200g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times (T_f-30)^oC

T_f=25.0^oC

Therefore, the final temperature is, 25.0^oC
