A visible white and red light indicate a second craft is coming from the starboard (right) side.

<h3>What is a navigation light?</h3>

A navigation light often referred to as a running light or position light, is a source of illumination aboard a ship, plane, or spacecraft that provides information about the location, course, or condition of the vehicle. Red and green navigation lights help with traffic control by indicating the orientation of the craft.

All navigation light systems typically comprise one or more white lights as well as red and green sidelights that designate the boat's port and starboard sides.

Having a flashlight on board is also essential since you never know when a navigation light may go out.

The typical navigational lights:

SidelightsSternlightMasthead lampoverall white lighting

Sidelights: Because they are visible to other vessels approaching from the side or head-on, these red and green lights are sometimes known as combo lights. The port (left) and starboard (right) sides of a ship are indicated by the red and green lights, respectively.

sternlight: Only from behind or almost behind the ship can one see the sternlight.

What is the most appropriate SI unit to express the speed of a cyclist in a 10-km race? km/s cm/h km/h mm/s

Murljashka [212]

You sure wouldn't want something like cm/s or (yikes cm/hr). You want a reasonable number for sports usually between 0 and 100

Km / hour would be a good choice.

The next town to where I live is 25 km away. On a good day, I can make it there in about 3/4 of an hour.

Speed = 25 km / 0.75 hour = 33.3 km/hour. That's actually a little fast most of the time. But you should understand what I mean.

If stellar parallax can be measured to a precision of about 0.01 arcsec using telescopes on the Earth to observe stars, to what

marin [14]

Answer:

It corresponds to a distance of 100 parsecs away from Earth.

Explanation:

The angle due to the change in position of a nearby object against the background stars it is known as parallax.

It is defined in a analytic way as it follows:

$\tan{p} = \frac{1AU}{d}$

Where d is the distance to the star.

$p('') = \frac{1}{d}$ (1)

Equation (1) can be rewritten in terms of d:

$d(pc) = \frac{1}{p('')}$ (2)

Equation (2) represents the distance in a unit known as parsec (pc).

The parallax angle can be used to find out the distance by means of triangulation. Making a triangle between the nearby star, the Sun and the Earth (as is shown in the image below), knowing that the distance between the Earth and the Sun (150000000 Km), is defined as 1 astronomical unit (1AU).

For the case of ( $p('') = 0.01$ ):
