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.

What did the asymptote say to the removable discontinuity worksheet answers?

ra1l [238]

“Don't hand that holier than thou line to me” is what the asymptote said to the removable discontinuity.

The distance between the curve and the line where it approaches zero as they tend to infinity is the line in the asymptote of a curve. This is unusual for modern authors but in some sources the requirement that the curve may not cross the line infinitely often is included.

The point that does not fit the rest of the graph or is undefined is called a removable discontinuity. By filling in a single point, the removable discontinuity can be made connected.

An ice skater has a moment of inertia of 5.0 kgm2 when her arms are outstretched. at this time she is spinning at 3.0 revolution

givi [52]

With arms outstretched,
Moment of inertia is I = 5.0 kg-m².
Rotational speed is ω = (3 rev/s)*(2π rad/rev) = 6π rad/s
The torque required is
T = Iω = (5.0 kg-m²)*(6π rad/s) = 30π

Assume that the same torque drives the rotational motion at a moment of inertia of 2.0 kg-m².
If u = new rotational speed (rad/s), then
T = 2u = 30π
u = 15π rad/s
= (15π rad/s)*(1 rev/2π rad)
= 7.5 rev/s

Answer: 7.5 revolutions per second.

Explanation:

The criteria for decision making would be

1. I would fund for the school of young diabetics, for the sole purpose of them leaning and being motivated for a healthy lifestyle.

2. I would also fund for new and improved insulin pumps as old ones cause multiple problems.
