AU is the distance from the earth to the sun, and solar mass represents a measurement equal to the mass of our sun.

The units applied in astronomy is quite different from the units applied in daily life. The unit called astronomical units (AU) describes the distance from the earth to the sun. The unit solar mass represents the mass of the sun and is taken to be equal to 1.989 x 10^30 kilograms.

Therefore, the difference between the AU and solar mass is that; AU is the distance from the earth to the sun, and solar mass represents a measurement equal to the mass of our sun.

You build a solenoid containing 500 windings over a 0.20-m length, with a loop radius of 0.025 m for each winding. the current i

marta [7]

The inductance of a solenoid is given by:
$L= \frac{\mu_0 N^2 A}{l}$
where
$\mu_0$ is the vacuum permeability
N is the number of turns of the solenoid
A is the area of one loop of the solenoid
l is its length

For the solenoid in our problem, N=500, and the radius of one loop is r=0.025 m, so the area of one loop is
$A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.025 m)^2 = 1.96 \cdot 10^{-3} m^2$
and its length is l=0.20 m

So the inductance of the solenoid is
$L= \frac{(4 \pi \cdot 10^{-7} NA^{-2})(500)^2(1.96 \cdot 10^{-3} m^2)}{ 0.20 m}=3.08 \cdot 10^{-3} H$

How much is required to accelerate a 5kg mass at 20 m/s2

zhannawk [14.2K]

use F = ma

F : force m : mass a : acceleration

f = 5kg * 20 m/s2 = 100 N

9.58 A spring of equilibrium length L1 and spring constant k1 hangs from the ceiling. Mass m1 is suspended from its lower end. T

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The distance of m2 from the ceiling is L1 +L2 + m1g/k1 + m2g/k1 + m2g/k2.

See attachment below for full solution

Explanation:

This is so because the the attached mass m1 on the spring causes the first spring to stretch by a distance of m1g/k1 (hookes law). This plus the equilibrium lengtb of the spring gives the position of the mass m1 from the ceiling. The second mass mass m2 causes both springs 1 and 2 to stretch by an amout proportional to its weight just like above. The respective stretchings are m2g/k1 for spring 1 and m2g/k2 for spring 2. These plus the position of m1 and the equilibrium length of spring 2 L2 gives the distance of L2 from the ceiling.
