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

An object starts from rest at time t = 0.00 s and moves in the +x direction with constant acceleration. The object travels 14.0
Reptile [31]

Answer:

28 m/s^2

Explanation:

distance, s = 14 m

time, t = 2 - 1 = 1 s

initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Let a be the acceleration.

Use third equation of motion

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

14 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}a\times 1^{2}

a = 28 m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration is 28 m/s^2.

An attack helicopter is equipped with a 20- mm cannon that fires 87 g shells in the forward direction with a muzzle speed of 853
uysha [10]

Answer

given,

mass of the shell = 87 g = 0.087 Kg

speed of the muzzle = 853 m/s

mass of the helicopter = 4410 kg

A burst of 176 shell fired in 2.93 s

resulting average force = ?

momentum of the shell = m v

                                       = 0.087 x 853

                                       = 74.21 kgm/s

momentum of 176 shell is = 176 p

                                          = 176 x 74.21

                                          = 13060.96

momentum of helicopter = - 13060.96 kgm/s

amount of speed reduce a = \dfrac{13060.96}{M}

                                          a= \dfrac{13060.96}{4410}

                                          a = 2.96 m/s²

velocity  = \dfrac{2.96}{2.93}

      v = 1.01 m/s

You are on a building with a snowball. You see your favorite physics teacher walking by about 10 m away from you. How fast must
tankabanditka [31]

You must throw the snow ball by velocity 9.43 m/s horizontally to

hit him

Explanation:

You throw the snow ball horizontally from a height 5.5 meters

Your favorite physics teacher is 10 m away from you

You hit him on the foot

1. The initial velocity of the ball is v

2. The vertical component of v is zero because you throw the ball

     horizontally

3. The vertical distance h is 5.5 m

4. The horizontal distance x is 10 m

We need to find how fast you must throw the snow ball to hit him

→ h = v_{y} t + \frac{1}{2} g t²

→ h = -5.5 m ⇒ height below the point of thrown

→ g = -9.8 m/s²

→  v_{y} = 0 ⇒ vertical component of v

→ -5.5 = (0) t + \frac{1}{2} (-9.8) t²

→ - 5.5 = -4.9 t²

Divide both sides by -4.9

→ t² = 1.12245

Take √ for both sides

→ t = 1.06 seconds

→ x = v_{x} t

→ v_{x} = v

→ x = 10 m , t = 1.06

→ 10 = v(1.06)

Divide both sides by 1.06

→ v = 9.43 m/s

You must throw the snow ball by velocity 9.43 m/s horizontally to

hit him
