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

1 answer:

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

Answer:

$3.6\times10^{23} N$

Explanation:

$F=\frac{GmM}{r^2}=4\times10^{22} N$

$F'=\frac{GmM}{(r/3)^2}=9\frac{GmM}{r^2}=9\times4\times10^{22}=3.6\times10^{23} N$

A water bottle is dropped from a plane and accelerates because of gravity. What distance did it fall during 3 seconds?

exis [7]

It’d fall 29.4m or 96.46ft

Explanation:
Uhh since gravity is 9.8m/s then in three seconds it’d drop 29.4m or 96.46ft
That is assuming there isn’t a lot of wind resistance, but if you take that into account, then it’d probably be somewhere around 25m since the water bottle is going to be heavier than the wind resistance, and since we don’t know the weight of the water bottle it can’t really be calculated.

Hope this helps!
