When using parallax, astronomers calculate distance from the sun and not earth to improve on the accuracy of their measurement, since parallax angle decreases as star distance increases.

<h3>What is parallax distance?</h3>

Parallax enables astronomers to measure the distances of far away stars by using trigonometry.

<h3>Why does astronomers measure parallax distance from sun?</h3>

As the distance of star increases, the parallax angle decreases, and great degree of accuracy is required for its measurement.

So taking a refence from the earth instead of the sun will impact the accuracy of their measurement.

Thus, when using parallax, astronomers calculate distance from the sun and not earth to improve on the accuracy of their measurement, since parallax angle decreases as star distance increases.

Heavy crate sits at rest on the floor of a warehouse. you push on the crate with a force of 400 N, and it doesn't budge. The magnitude of the friction force on the crate in Newton is 400N

This is due to Friction force, which is defined as the resisting force that acts on a body when it is at rest (Static friction) or when it is in motion (Kinetic friction).

When a force is applied on a stationary body, the force of static friction starts to act on the body which prevents any relative motion between the object and surface. The magnitude of friction increases up to μsN, where μs is the coefficient of static friction. As the crate didn't budge, it means the amount of force applied was less than μsN. Hence the force applied was canceled by an equal and opposite amount of frictional force which was equal to 400N.

You connect a 250-2 resistor, a 1.20-mH inductor, and a 1.80-uF capacitor in series across a 60.0-Hz, 120-V (peak) source. When
Basile [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

 reactance of inductor = wL = 2 X 3.14 X 60 X 1.2 X 10⁻³ = .45 ohm.

reactance of capacitor = 1/wC = 1/( 2 X 3.14 X 60 X 1.8 X 10⁻⁶ ) = 1474.4

Impedence of the circuit =[ R² + ( I/wC - wL)  ]¹/²  = [250² + ( 1474.4-.45 )]¹/²

Impedence = 1495 ohm.

RMS Voltage = 120/ 1.414 = 84.86 V

current = 84.86 / 1495 = 0.0576

Potential over resistance = 0.0576 x 250 = 14.2 V.

What is the best description of the destructive interference of light?
Helga [31]

Destructive interference occurs when the maxima of two waves are 180 degrees out of phase: a positive displacement of one wave is cancelled exactly by a negative displacement of the other wave.

Answer:

The crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another.
