Which physical property causes you to lean to one side when the bus you are traveling in takes a sharp turn?

irius, the brightest star in the sky, is 2.6 parsecs (8.6 light-years) from Earth, giving it a parallax of 0.379 arcseconds. Ano

Norma-Jean [14]

The actual distance of Regulus from Earth is 23.81 parsecs.

Given:

Parallax of Regulus, p = 0.042 arc seconds

Calculation:

When an observer changes their position, an apparent change in the object's position takes place. This change can be calculated using the angle ( or semi-angle) made by the observer and object i.e. the angle made between the two lines of observation from the object to the observer.

Thus from the relation of parallax of a celestial body we get:

S = 1/ tan p ≈ 1 / p

where S is the actual distance between the object and the observer

p is the parallax angle observed

Here for Regulus, we get:

S = 1 / p

= 1 / (0.042) [ 1 parsecs = 1 arcseconds ]

= 23.81 parsecs

We know that,

1 parsecs = 3.26 light-years = 206,000 AU

Converting the actual distance into light years we get:

23.81 parsecs = 23.81 × (3.26 light yrs) = 77.658 light-years

Therefore, the actual distance of Regulus from Earth is 23.81 parsecs which is 77.658 in light years.

Answer:

The resultant velocity is <u>169.71 km/h at angle of 45° measured clockwise with the x-axis</u> or the east-west line.

Explanation:

Considering west direction along negative x-axis and north direction along positive y-axis

Given:

The car travels at a speed of 120 km/h in the west direction.

The car then travels at the same speed in the north direction.

Now, considering the given directions, the velocities are given as:

Velocity in west direction is, $\overrightarrow{v_1}=-120\ \vec{i}$

Velocity in north direction is, $\overrightarrow{v_2}=120\ \vec{j}$

Now, since $v_1\ and\ v_2$ are perpendicular to each other, their resultant magnitude is given as:

$|\overrightarrow{v_{res}}|=\sqrt{|\overrightarrow{v_1}|^2+|\overrightarrow{v_2}|^2}$

Plug in the given values and solve for the magnitude of the resultant.This gives,

$|\overrightarrow{v_{res}}|=\sqrt{(120)^2+(120)^2}\\\\|\overrightarrow{v_{res}}|=120\sqrt{2} = 169.71\ km/h$

Let the angle made by the resultant be 'x' degree with the east-west line or the x-axis.

So, the direction is given as:

$x=\tan^{-1}(\frac{|v_2|}{|v_1|})\\\\x=\tan^{-1}(\frac{120}{-120})=\tan^{-1}(-1)=-45\ deg(clockwise\ angle\ with\ the\ x-axis)$

Therefore, the resultant velocity is 169.71 km/h at angle of 45° measured clockwise with the x-axis or the east-west line.

Learning Goal:To understand and be able to use the rules for determining allowable orbital angular momentum states.Several numbe

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

1) for a given n value the l value can be from 0 to n-1

So if n= 5 it can take 0,1,2,3,4

i.e it can take 5 values

2)for an electron with l =3

it can be from -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3

i.e it can take 7 values

3) n = 3 !!

l = 0 , 1 , 2

for l=0 , m = 0 total = 1

for l= 1 ,m = -1,0,1 total = 3

for l = 2, m=-2,-1,0,1,2 total = 5

5+3+1 = 9

total possible states = 9 * 2 = 18

Answer is 168

4)given l=3 and n=3

orbital quantum number cannot be equal to principal quantum number

its max value is l-1 only

5)L = sqrt(l(l+1))x h'

for it to be max l should be max

for n = 3 max l value is 2

therfore it is sqrt(2(2+1)) x h'

$\sqrt(6) \times h'$

this is the answer

What is Virtual Lab and what does people use it for and why they use it?

Dafna1 [17]

The Virtual Laboratory is an interactive environment for creating and conducting simulated experiments: a playground for experimentation. It consists of domain-dependent simulation programs, experimental units called objects that encompass data files, tools that operate on these objects

A car with a mass of 2200 kg is travelling at a rate of 55 m's. What is the cars momentum? *

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Mass=2200kg
Velocity=55m/s

$\\ \sf\bull\dashrightarrow Momentum=Mass\times Velocity$

$\\ \sf\bull\dashrightarrow Momentum=2200(55)$

$\\ \sf\bull\dashrightarrow Momentum=121000kgm/s$
