Answer:

1) 63241 AU make a light year.

2) $1.495x10^{8}km$ , 92914853miles

The astronomical unit gives a simple way to compare distance between planets and the Sun, using the distance from the Sun to Earth as an started point.

Explanation:

1) How many AU make up a light-year?

A light year is the distance that light can travel in one year

The speed of light has a value of $3x10^{8}m/s$

That can be express in units of kilometers and years:

$3x10^{8}m/s \cdot \frac{1km}{1000m}$ -- $300000km/s \cdot \frac{31536000s}{1year}$ -- $9.4608x10^{12}Km/year$

Therefore, the distance can be found by means of the equation for average velocity.

$v = \frac{x}{t}$

$x = v \cdot t$ (2)

Then, t will be equal to 1 year ( $t = 1 year$ )

$x = (9.4608x10^{12}Km/year)(1year)$

$x = 9.4608x10^{12}Km$

However, an astronomical unit is defined as the distance between the Earth and the Sun ( $1.495x10^{8]km$ ).

Therefore, to know how many astronomical units make a light year:

$\frac{9.4608^{12}km}{149597870km} = 63241$

Hence, 63241 AU make a light year.

2) What is an astronomical unit (AU) in miles and kilometers? Why is it useful for understanding the distances to planets?

As in was already said, an astronomical unit has a value of $1.495x10^{8]km$

Then, it can be express in units of miles:

$1.495x10^{8}km \frac{1mile}{1609km}$ ⇒ $92914853miles$

The astronomical unit gives a simple way to compare distance between planets and the Sun, using the distance from the Sun to Earth as an started point.

A 6.4-N force pulls horizontally on a 1.5-kg block that slides on a smooth horizontal surface. This block is connected by a hori

Elena L [17]

-- Although it's not explicitly stated in the question,we have to assume that
the surface is frictionless. I guess that's what "smooth" means.

-- The total mass of both blocks is (1.5 + 0.93) = 2.43 kg. Since they're
connected to each other (by the string), 2.43 kg is the mass you're pulling.

-- Your force is 6.4 N.
Acceleration = (force)/(mass) = 6.4/2.43 m/s²<em>
</em> That's about <em>2.634 m/s²</em> <em>

</em>(I'm going to keep the fraction form handy, because the acceleration has to be
used for the next part of the question, so we'll need it as accurate as possible.)

-- Both blocks accelerate at the same rate. So the force on the rear block (m₂) is

Force = (mass) x (acceleration) = (0.93) x (6.4/2.43) = <em>2.45 N</em>.

That's the force that's accelerating the little block, so that must be the tension
in the string.

Power Rating of a Resistor. The power rating of a resistor is the maximum power the resistor can safely dissipate without too gr

IgorLugansk [536]

(a) 273.9 V

The power rating of the resistor is given by

$P=\frac{V^2}{R}$

where

P is the power rating

V is the potential difference across the resistor

R is the resistance

If the maximum power rating is $P=5.0 W$ , and the resistance of the resistor is $R=15 k\Omega = 15000 \Omega$ , then we can find the maximum potential difference across the resistor by re-arranging the previous equation for V:

$V=\sqrt{PR}=\sqrt{(5.0 W)(15000 \Omega)}=273.9 V$

(b) 1.6 W

In this case, we have:

$R=9.0 k\Omega = 9000 \Omega$ is the resistance of the resistor

$V=120 V$ is the potential difference across the resistor

So we can find the power rating by using the same formula of part (a):

$P=\frac{V^2}{R}=\frac{(120 V)^2}{9000 \Omega}=1.6 W$

(c) Maximum voltage: 14.1 V; Rate of heat: 2.00 W and 3.00 W

Here we have two resistors of

$R_1 = 100 \Omega\\R_2 = 150 \Omega$

and each resistor has a power rating of

P = 2.00 W

So the greatest potential difference allowed in the first resistor is

$V=\sqrt{PR_1}=\sqrt{(2.00 W)(100 \Omega)}=14.1 V$

While the greatest potential difference allowed in the second resistor is

$V=\sqrt{PR_2}=\sqrt{(2.00 W)(150 \Omega)}=17.3 V$

So the greatest potential difference allowed not to overheat either of the resistor is 14.1 V.

In this condition, the power dissipated on the first resistor is 2.00 W, while the power dissipated on the second resistor is

$P_2 = \frac{V^2}{R_2}=\frac{(14.1 V)^2}{150 \Omega}=1.33 W$

And this corresponds to the rate of heat generated in the first resistor (2.00 W) and in the second resistor (1.33 W).

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST PLEASE ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS

Rainbow [258]

There would be more - charges on the peanuts because they gain electrons which are represented with the - sign. There would also be more + on the cat to show that the cat’s fur is positively charged. The peanuts would be attracted to the cat because opposite charges attract.

As for explaining the first model, there should be the same amount of + and - charges on the peanuts as well as the cat to show that it is balanced and the peanuts are not attracted or repelled by the cat.

What is the acceleration of a 20 kg cart if the net force on it is 40 N?

Savatey [412]

Answer:

Acceleration of the cart will be $a=2m/sec^2$

Explanation:

We have given force F = 40 N

Mass of the cart = 20 kg

From newton's second law we know that force, mass and acceleration are related to each other

From second law of motion force on any object moving with acceleration a is given by

F = ma, here m is mass and a is acceleration

So $40=20\times a$

$a=2m/sec^2$
