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.

Suppose that sunlight is incident upon both a pair of reading glasses and a pair of sunglasses. Which pair would you expect to b
Ainat [17]

Answer: the pair of sunglasses

Explanation:

A good pair of sunglasses are composed of abosorbent lenses that filter the sunlight that affects the eyes retina, especially ultraviolet (UV). So, these sunglasses are used to reduce the amount of light or radiant energy transmitted.

On the other hand, normal reading glasses (in which the lens glass has not been treated to filter ultraviolet sunlight) will let UV rays pass through.

Therefore, if both glasses are exposed to sunlight, the sunglasses are expected to be warmer by absorbing that radiant energy and preventing it from reaching the eyes.

Hydrogen gas is generated when acids come into contact with certain metals. When excess hydrochloric acid reacts with 2.2 g of (
CaHeK987 [17]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Byle's Law and Avogadro's Law.

The ideal gas equation would help us find the final solution to the problem, defined by

PV = nRT

Where,

T= Temperature of the gas

R = Universal as constant

n = number of moles

V = Volume

P = Pressure

For our case we have that the mass of Zn is 2.2g in moles would be

[tex]Zn = \frac{2.2}{65}[/tex]

Zn = 0.0338

We know that 1 mole of hydrogen gas is proceed by 1 mole of zinc and the result is Zn^{2+}, then Hydrogen can produce the same quantity,

H_2 = 0.0338

Applying the previous equation we have that

V= \frac{nRT}{P}

V = \frac{0.0338*0.08206*293.15}{0.98}

V = 0.829L

Therefore the volume of hydrogen gas is collected is 0.829L

A long wire carries a current toward the north in a magnetic field that is directed vertically downward perpendicular to the sur
xenn [34]

The direction of the magnetic force on the wire is west.

The magnetic force acting on the moving protons acts northward in the horizontal plane. If the thumb is up (current flows vertically up), the wrapped finger will be counterclockwise.

Therefore, the direction of the magnetic field is counterclockwise. Here, the magnetic field is pointing upwards (vertical magnetic field) and the electrons are moving east. Applying Fleming's left-hand rule here, we can see that the direction of force is along the south direction.

As the change in magnetic flux increases upwards, Lenz's law indicates that the induced magnetic field of the induced current must resist and the inside of the loop must be directed downwards. Using the right-hand rule, we can see that a clockwise current is induced.

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The law zero of thermodynamics.

Explanation:

The law zero of thermodynamics, which tells us that heat flows from a body at a higher temperature to another body with lower temperature, when the heat transfer is zero, it is said that the two bodies are in thermal equilibrium, their temperatures are equal
