When is it useful to use astronomical units and light years for measuring distances in space?

To run the physics cart, the fan speed of the cart is manipulated. this is the (blank) variable. the cart accelerates due to the speed of the fan. acceleration is therefore the (blank) variable. a “constant” is a parameter that stays the same regardless of the variables. one parameter of the cart that is held constant is the (blank) .

An insulated 40 ft^3 rigid tank contains air at 50 psia and 120°f. a valve connected to the tank is now opened, and air is allowed to escape until the pressure inside drops to 25 psia. the air temperature during this process is kept constant by an electric resistance heater placed in the tank. determine the electrical work done during this process.
