the distance between the sun and earth is about 1.5X10^11 m. express this distance with an SI prefix and kilometers

1 answer:

5 0

First, we write the SI prefixed. The SI unit for distance is meters.

Kilo = 10³
Mega = 10⁶
Giga = 10⁹
Terra = 10¹²

Because our value has ten to the power of 11, we will use the closest and lowest power prefix, which is giga.

1.5 x 10¹¹ / 10⁹
= 1.5 x 10² Gm or 150 Gm

Writing in kilometers, we simply repeat the procedure except we divide by 10³ this time.

1.5 x 10¹¹ / 10³
= 1.5 x 10⁸ km

Wrapping paper is being unwrapped from a 5.0-cm radius tube, free to rotate on its axis. if it is pulled at the constant rate of

lisov135 [29]

So the equation for angular velocity is

Omega = 2(3.14)/T

Where T is the total period in which the cylinder completes one revolution.

In order to find T, the tangential velocity is

V = 2(3.14)r/T

When calculated, I got V = 3.14

When you enter that into the angular velocity equation, you should get 2m/s

You need to determine the density of an unknown liquid and decide to perform an experiment. You notice that a wooden block float

Allushta [10]

Answer:

pu = 1260.9kg/m^3

the density of the unknown liquid is 1260.9kg/m^3

Explanation:

The density of a liquid is inversely proportional to the volume (height) of object submerged in it.

High density liquid possess higher buoyant force preventing objects from submerging.

p ∝ 1/V ∝ 1/h

since V = Ah

pu/pw = hw/hu

pu = pwhw/hu

Where;

p = density

h = height submerged

pu and pw is the density of unknown liquid and water respectively

hu and hw is the height of object submerged in unknown liquid and water respectively

pw = 1000kg/m^3

hu = 4.6cm = 0.046m

hw = 5.8cm = 0.058m

Substituting the given values;

pu = 1000×0.058/0.046

pu = 1260.9kg/m^3

the density of the unknown liquid is 1260.9kg/m^3
