Chapter 1: Q47P (page 11)

An astronomical unit (AU) is the average distance between Earth and the Sun, approximately 1.50脳108km. The speed of light is about 3.0脳108m/s. Express the speed of light in astronomical units per minute.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The speed of light in astronomical units per minute is0.12A.U./min

Step by step solution

01

Given data

02

Understanding the unit conversion

Unit conversion is the conversion between different units of measure for the same quantity, usually through multiplier conversion factors.

03

Determination of the speed of light

The speed of light in astronomical units per minutes is,

Thus, the speed of light in astronomical units per minute is0.12A.U./min.

Question: Hydraulic engineers in the United States often use, as a unit of volume of water, the acre-foot, defined as the volume of water that will cover 1 acre of land to a depth of 1 ft. A severe thunderstorm dumped 2.0 in. of rain in 30 min on a town of area 26 km2. What volume of water, in acre-feet, fell on the town?

Question: Harvard Bridge, which connects MIT with its fraternities across the Charles River, has a length of 364.4 Smoots plus one ear. The unit of one Smoot is based on the length of Oliver Reed Smoot, Jr., class of 1962, who was carried or dragged length by length across the bridge so that other pledge members of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity could mark off (with paint) 1-Smoot lengths along the bridge. The marks have been repainted biannually by fraternity pledges since the initial measurement, usually during times of traffic congestion so that the police cannot easily interfere. (Presumably, the police were originally upset because the Smoot is not an SI base unit, but these days they seem to have accepted the unit.) Figure 1-4 shows three parallel paths, measured in Smoots (S), Willies (W), and Zeldas (Z). What is the length of 50.0 Smoots in (a) Willies and (b) Zeldas?

An object is tracked by a radar station and determined to have a position vector given byr鈫�=(3500-160t)i^+2700j^+300k^,withr鈫�in meters and tin seconds. The radar station鈥檚 xaxis points east, its yaxis north, and its zaxis vertically up. If the object is a 250 kg meteorological missile, what are (a) its linear momentum, (b) its direction of motion, and (c) the net force on it?
