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

1. Calcula la fuerza de atracción electrostática entre dos cuerpos de cargas q1 = -18 C y q2 = +5 mC, separados entre sí por una
romanna [79]

Answer:

A) F=-20.16×10⁹N

B) if the distance doubles, force is 4 times smaller.

Explanation:

q1=-28C

q2=5mC=0.005C

d=25cm=0.25m

Electrostatic force between charges: F=k×q1×q2/d², where k is a coefficient that has the value k=9 × 10⁹ N⋅m²⋅C^(-2) for air.

Thus:

F=9×10⁹×(-28)×0.005/0.25²

F=-20.16×10⁹N

The minus sign indicates attraction.

If distance doubles, d1=2×d, then we have 4d² at the denominator and the force is 4 times smaller.

A 4.00 kg ball is swung in a circle on the edge of a 1.50 m rope. The time it takes for the ball to complete one rotation is 3.4
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The length of the rope is equal to the radius of the circle formed by the complete rotation of the rope. Therefore the radius = 1.50 m.

a) The distance covered by the rope when completing one rotation is the same as the perimeter of the circle. Hence:

Distance covered in one rotation = 2π * radius = 2π * 1.5 = 3π meters

The velocity of the ball = Distance / time = 3π meters / 3.4 seconds = 2.77  m/s

b) The initial velocity (u) is 0 m/s, the final velocity is 2.77 m/s during time (t) = 3.4 s. Hence acceleration (a):

v = u + at

2.77 = 3.4a

a = 0.82 m/s²

c) Force on ball = mass * acceleration = 4 * 0.82 = 3.28 N

An organ pipe of length 3.0 m has one end closed. The longest and next-longest possible wavelengths for standing waves inside th
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

The longest wavelength for closed at one end and open at the other is

y / 4      where y is the wavelength - that is node - antinode

The next possible wavelength is 3 y / 4 -    node - antinode - node -antinode

y / 4 = 3 m     y = 12 meters    the longest wavelength

3 y / 4 = 3 m      y = 4 meters   1 / 3 times as long

A series RCL circuit includes a resistance of 280, an inductive reactance of 508, and a capacitive reactance of 315. The current
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

The voltage of the generator is 88.53volts

Explanation:

The voltage across the RLC AC circuit will be the voltage across the generator. It is expressed as

V = IZ and

Z² = R² + (Xl-Xc)²

Z = √R² + (Xl-Xc)² where;

Z is the impedance that oppose the flow of current in the resistor, capacitor and inductor in the circuit

I is the total current = 0.312A

R is the resistance in the circuit = 280ohms

Xl is the inductive reactance = 508ohms

Xc is the capacitive reactance = 315ohms

Substituting to this parameters to get the impedance Z we have;

Z = √280²+(508-315)²

Z = √208²+(193)²

Z = √80,513

Z = 283.75ohms

The voltage V of the generator = current × impedance

V = 0.312×283.75

V = 88.53Volts

The voltage if the generator is 88.53volts
