How did astronomers precisely determine the length of an Astronomical Unit in the 1960s?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

Use of telemetry and radar astronomy

Explanation:

An astronomical Unit (AU) is a unit of measuring distances in outer space, which is based on the approximate distance between the earth and the Sun.

After several years of trying to approximate the distance between the Sun and the Earth using several methods based on geometry and some other calculations, advancements in technology made available the presence of special motoring equipment, which can be placed in outer space to remotely monitor and measure the position of the sun.

The use of direct radar measurements to the sun (radar astronomy) have also made the determination of the AU more accurate.

A standard radar pulse of known speed is sent to the Sun, and the time with which it takes to return is measured,  once this is recorded, the distance between the Earth and the Sun can be calculated using

distance = speed X time.

However, most of these means have to be corrected for parallax errors

A woman of mass 50 kg is swimming with a velocity of 1.6 m/s. If she stops stroking and glides to a stop in the water, what is t
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Impulse of force = -80 Ns

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass = 50kg

Initial velocity = 1.6m/s

Since she glides to a stop, her final velocity equals to zero (0).

Now, we would find the change in velocity.

Change \; in \; velocity = final \; velocity - initial \; velocity

Substituting into the equation above;

Change in velocity = 0 - 1.6 = 1.6m/s

Impulse \; of \; force = mass * change \; in \; velocity

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Impulse \; of \; force = 50 * -1.6

<em>Impulse of force = -80 Ns</em>

<em>Therefore, the impulse of the force that stops her is -80 Newton-seconds and it has a negative value because it is working in an opposite direction, thus, bringing her to a stop. </em>

The capacitance of A conductor is affected by the presence of A second conductor that is uncharged and isolated electrically. Wh
Komok [63]
What happens is the potential value of the conductor decreases due to the presence of second conductor
as the capacitance is given by C = q/v
the value of v deceases as v-v1
thus the new capacitance is = C' = q/v-v1 thus the lowering of v increases the capacitance
