Why is the astronomical unit used to measure distances in the solar system?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:Astronomers often use the astronomical unit to describe distances within solar systems because it is convenient and easier to understand. The astronomical unit (au or AU) is defined as exactly 149,597,870,700 meters (about 93 million mi), which is roughly equal to the average distance between the Sun and Earth.

In a drag race, a car takes off from rest and covers 375 meters in 5 seconds. What is the
final velocity?

Answers

Explanation:

s = ut + 1/2 a t^2

375 = 0 * 5 + 1/2 * a * (5)^2

375 = 1/2 * a * 25

a = 375*2/25

a = 15* 2

a = 30m/sec^2

v = u + at

v = 0 + 30 * 5

v = 150 m/sec

What is the net force (including direction and magnitude) acting on the object on the above left?

What is the net force (including direction and magnitude) acting on the object on the above right?

Answers

Answer:

-150 N

Explanation:

(Newton's second law) F=ma

Sum of forces in Y direction= (+200 N)+(-200 N)= 0...

forces cancel, object does not accelerate up/down

Sum of forces in X direction= (+65 N)+(-65 N)+(-150 N)

= -150 N

notice that the +/- 65 components cancel, leaving a net force of 150 N in the LEFTwards direction (which is typically defined as negative)

Overall, the net force is -150 N

The sky on Earth is blue because blue light is scattered through the atmosphere as the other colors of light pass through undisturbed. Which nebulae have something similar going on?
A. Emission nebulae
B. Dark nebulae
C. Reflection nebulae
D. Planetary nebulae

Answers

Answer: B


Explanation:

The sky on Earth is blue because blue light is scattered through the atmosphere as the other colors of light pass through undisturbed. Dark nebulae  have something similar going on.

What is nebulae?

Nebulae are interstellar dust and gas clouds that get backlighting from stars both inside and behind them. The clouds are illuminated by the photons from these stars that are dispersed throughout them. A nebula does not generate most of the light that appears to come from it; rather, it reflects and refracted light.

A dark nebula, also known as an absorption nebula, is a form of interstellar cloud, particularly a molecular cloud, that is so dense that it absorbs all of the light from objects behind it, including emission or reflection nebulae and background stars, at visible wavelengths.

A truck accelerates from 25 km/hr to 45 km/hr in 40 seconds. Calculate the average acceleration of the vehicle in m/s?.​

Answers

Answer:

0.138889 m/s2

Explanation:

The average acceleration of the vehicle would be 0.139 meters/second².

What is acceleration?

The rate of change of the velocity with respect to time is known as the acceleration of the object.

As given in the problem a truck accelerates from 25 kilometers/hour to 45  kilometers/hour in 40 seconds.

Let us first convert the velocities from kilometers/hour to meters/seconds

25 kilometers/hour ⇒ 25×1000/3600

                                    = 6.94 meters/seconds

45 kilometers/seconds =  45×1000/3600

                                       = 12.5 meters/seconds

acceleration = change in the velocity/time

                     =(12.5 -6.94)/40

                     =0.139 meters/second²

Thus, the acceleration of the truck would be 0.139 meters/second²

Answers

Answer:

Vf = 210 [m/s]

Av = 105 [m/s]

y = 2205 [m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following formula of kinematics.

[tex]v_{f} =v_{o} +g*t[/tex]

where:

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity = 0 (released from the rest)

g = gravity acceleration = 10 [m/s²]

t = time = 21 [s]

Vf = 0 + (10*21)

Vf = 210 [m/s]

Note: The positive sign for the gravity acceleration means that the object is falling in the same direction of the gravity acceleration (downwards)

The average speed is defined as the sum of the final speed plus the initial speed divided by two. (the initial velocity is zero)

Av = (210 + 0)/2

Av = 105 [m/s]

To calculate the distance we must use the following equation of kinematics

[tex]v_{f} ^{2} =v_{o} ^{2} +2*g*y\\\\(210)^{2} = 0 + (2*10*y)[/tex]

44100 = 20*y

y = 2205 [m]

Answers

Explanation:

The question is not complete, here is the complete question

"Beatrice and the Elevator Beatrice, a middle school student, is visiting a very tall office building and notices that she feels heavier when the elevator car is traveling up and lighter when the elevator car is traveling down. After making these observations, Beatrice comes back to the building and stands on a bathroom scale that measures her weight as she travels up and down in the elevator.

1. . What question is Beatrice trying to answer?

2. What is one variable Beatrice could change in her investigation? What might she figure out if this

variable was changed"

1. Beatrice is trying to observe the influence of the elevator movement on her weight, Hence the question is "will the elevator  movement cause her weight to change"

therefore moving upward the reading on the scale will increase

Reading=mg+ma

downward

Reading will reduce

Reading=mg-ma

2. The independent variable is the acceleration due to gravity g=9.81m/s^2

while the dependent variables are

    i. The elevators acceleration

    ii. Beatrice's mass

A civil engineer must design a wheelchair-accessible ramp next to a set of steps leading up to a building. The height from the ground to the top of the stairs is 2 ft. Based on ADA codes, the slope must be 1:12 or less. Slope is equal to the rise of the ramp divided by the run of the ramp.

A) Using the ADA code, what is the allowable minimum length of the ramp base?

B) Using the known height and calculated base length, what is the length of the slope of the ramp?

C) What is the ideal mechanical advantage of the ramp?D) If a person and wheelchair have a combined weight of 165 lb, how much ideal effort force is required to travel up the ramp?

Answers

Answer:

A) B = 24 ft

B) H = 24.08 ft

C) M.A = 12.04

D) P = 13.7 lb

Explanation:

A)

Minimum allowable length of base of ramp can be found as follows:

Slope = H/B

where,

Slope = 1/12

H = Height of Ramp = 2 ft

B = Length of Base of Ramp = ?

Therefore,

1/12 = 2 ft/B

B = 2 ft * 12

B = 24 ft

B)

The length of the slope of ramp can be found by using pythagora's theorem:

L = √H² + B²

where,

H = Perpendicular = height = 2 ft

B = Base = Length of Base of Ramp = 24 ft

L = Hypotenuse = Length of Slope of Ramp = ?

Therefore,

H = √[(2 ft)² + (24 ft)²]

H = 24.08 ft

D)

The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is given by the following formula:

M.A = L/H

M.A = 24.08 ft/2 ft

M.A = 12.04

D)

Another general formula for Mechanical Advantage is:

M.A = W/P

where,

W = Ideal Load = 165 lb

P = Ideal Effort Force = ?

Therefore,

12.04 = 165 lb/P

P = 165 lb/12.04

P = 13.7 lb
