Answer:..

1.One light-year = 63,240 AU

2. It’s about 93 million miles (150 million km),or

one astronomical unit (AU) = 92,955,807 miles (149,597,871 km).

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.

Answer:

B=1.1636*10^{-3}T

Explanation:

Given data

d_{wires}=2.2mm=0.022m\\ I_{current}=32A\\

To find

Magnitude of the net magnetic field B

Solution

The magnitude of the net magnetic field can be find as:

B=2*u\frac{I}{2\pi r}\\ B=2*(4\pi*10^{-7}  )\frac{32}{2\pi (0.022/2)} \\ B=1.1636*10^{-3}T

I need help doing this i don’t understand what to do
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

You need to write an essay with 800 to 1,200 words. That talks about the significance of one of the seminal works (Definition- a work that strongly influenced people. Example: Martin Luther King Jr's speech "I Have A Dream") in the unit and how it connects to current issues (Example- Politics). It should be clearly stated and should be well supported by research (Example- a trustworthy article talking about its influence). You should properly cite at least 3 good sources from different perspectives. (Example- a republicans view for one source, a democratic for another, and a neutral for the third) You should also use direct quotes (Example: "Let them eat cake." - Marie Antoinette) and paraphrase- put it in your own words. (Example: Marie Antoinette said that they should eat cake.) I hope this helps, good luck! :)

What is the magnitude of the sum of the two vectors A = 36 units at 53 degrees, and B =47 units at 157 degrees.
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

51.82

Explanation:

First of all, let's convert both vectors to cartesian coordinates:

Va = 36 < 53° = (36*cos(53), 36*sin(53))

Va = (21.67, 28.75)

Vb = 47 < 157° = (47*cos(157), 47*sin(157))

Vb = (-43.26, 18.36)

The sum of both vectors will be:

Va+Vb = (-21.59, 47.11)   Now we will calculate the module of this vector:

|Va+Vb| = \sqrt{(-21.59)^2+(47.11)^2}=51.82
