Answer: 4550 Joules

The formula for potential energy in gravitational field is as follows:

$E_{pot} = mgh=65kg \cdot 10 \frac{N}{kg} \cdot 7m = 4550 J$

Explain: What happens to the velocity of a stream as the size of the sediment increases?

artcher [175]

Answer:

Also, as stream depth increases, the hydraulic radius increases thereby making the stream more free flowing. Both of these factors lead to an increase in stream velocity. The increased velocity and the increased cross-sectional area mean that discharge increases.

Light bending at a boundary is caused by differences in the speed of light in different materials. The greater the difference in

olasank [31]

Answer:

How much does light bend? When light travels from air into water, it slows down, causing it to change direction slightly. This change of direction is called refraction. When light enters a more dense substance (higher refractive index), it 'bends' more towards the normal line.

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 ( $p('') = 0.01$ ):

$d(pc) = \frac{1}{0.01}$

$d(pc) = 100$

Hence, it corresponds to a distance of 100 parsecs away from Earth.

<em>Summary:</em>

Notice how a small parallax angle means that the object is farther away.

Key terms:

Parsec: Parallax of arc second
