Answer:

a) How many parsecs are there in one astronomical unit?

$4.85x10^{-6}pc$

(b) How many meters are in a parsec?

$3.081x10^{16}m$

(c) How many meters in a light-year?

$9.46x10^{15}m$

(d) How many astronomical units in a light-year?

$63325AU$

(e) How many light-years in a parsec?

3.26ly

Explanation:

The parallax angle can be used to find out the distance using triangulation. Making a triangle between the nearby star, the Sun and the Earth, knowing that the distance between the Earth and the Sun ( $1.496x10^{11} m$ ) is defined as 1 astronomical unit:

$\tan{p} = \frac{1AU}{d}$

Where d is the distance to the star.

Since p is small it can be represent as:

$p(rad) = \frac{1AU}{d}$ (1)

Where p(rad) is the value of in radians

However, it is better to express small angles in arcseconds

$p('') = p(rad)\frac{180^\circ}{\pi rad}.\frac{60'}{1^\circ}.\frac{60''}{1'}$

$p('') = 2.06x10^5 p(rad)$

$p(rad) = \frac{p('')}{2.06x10^5}$ (2)

Then, equation 2 can be replace in equation 1:

$\frac{p('')}{2.06x10^5} = \frac{1AU}{d}$

$\frac{d}{1AU} = \frac{2.06x10^5}{p('')}$ (3)

From equation 3 it can be see that $1pc = 2.06x10^5 AU$

a) How many parsecs are there in one astronomical unit?

$1AU . \frac{1pc}{2.06x10^5AU}$ ⇒ $4.85x10^{-6}pc$

(b) How many meters are in a parsec?

$2.06x10^{5}AU . \frac{1.496x10^{11}m}{1AU}$ ⇒ $3.081x10^{16}m$

(c) How many meters in a light-year?

To determine the number of meters in a light-year it is necessary to use the next equation:

$x = c.t$

Where c is the speed of light ( $c = 3x10^{8}m/s$ ) and x is the distance that light travels in 1 year.

In 1 year they are 31536000 seconds

$x = (3x10^{8}m/s)(31536000s)$

$x = 9.46x10^{15}m$

(d) How many astronomical units in a light-year?

$9.46x10^{15}m . \frac{1AU}{1.496x10^{11}m}$ ⇒ $63325AU$

(e) How many light-years in a parsec?

$2.06x10^{5}AU . \frac{1ly}{63235AU}$ ⇒ $3.26ly$

A toy car has an initial acceleration of 2 m/s" across a horizontal surface after it is released from rest. After the car travel

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Closed system, because the speed of the car is as expected in the case where an object has uniform acceleration for a time t

Explanation:

Here in the question it is mentioned that a toy car has an initial acceleration of 2m/s² across a horizontal surface so we can say that it is acted upon by an external force

Assuming that the acceleration is constant and the reason for this assumption is there at the last

The major difference between an open system and closed system is in case of open system there will be transfer of matter and in case of closed system there will be no change in matter of the system

If acceleration is constant in case of closed system we can expect the speed of the car after a time t by using the formula

s = u×t + 0·5×a×t²

where s is the distance travelled

t is the time taken to travel that distance

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration of that system

But in case of open system as there will be a change of mass there will be a change in velocity of the system so in this case we cannot expect the speed of the car after a time t

And if the acceleration is not constant then we cannot say that the toy car is an open system or closed system, that is why we are assuming that the acceleration of the toy car is constant

Julio hit a baseball. What caused the ball to change direction at the time of impact?

WARRIOR [948]

The answer is c. the force of his swing

At the time of the impact, there is a collision between two bodies moving in opposite directions.

The force exerted on the ball causes the change of velocity.
