(1 parsec) is the distance at which an object has a parallax of 1 arcsecond. The distance is about 3.26 light years.
Another way to understand it is: The distance from which the Earth's orbit appears 1 arcsecond across.
For a parallax angle of 1/2 arcsecond, the distance is <em>2 parsecs </em>(about 6.52 light years).
1 arcsecond is 1/3600 of a degree, 0.00028 degree.

This is a simple matter of division. I also suspect it's an exercise in scientific notation, so here is how you divide in scientific notation:
9.6 x 10^6 m / 3x10^8 m/s
First, divide the significands like you would normally.
9.6 / 3 = 3.2
And subtract the exponent. So
6 - 8 = -2
So the answer is 3.2 x 10^-2
And since the significand is less than 10 and at least 1, we don't need to normalize it.
So it takes 3.2x10^-2 seconds for the radio signal to reach the satellite.</span>
Answer:
<em>Force of gravity may not affect a pendulum during its equilibrium state</em>. But the gravity can affect the pendulum when a force occurs in any direction of the bob connected to the cord that makes a swing sideways. The gravity of pendulum never stops, it always accelerates. So the gravity affects the pendulum acceleration and speed.
<em>Similarly the tension in the cord will not affect the pendulum</em><em> </em>but if change in the length of the pendulum while keeping other factors constant changes the length of the period of pendulum. longer pendulum swings with lower frequency than shorter pendulums.
Answer;
D. rocket engines are not dependent on oxygen from the air.
Explanation;
-Jet engines and rockets work on the same principle. They produce thrust through an internal pressure difference and, as explained by Newton’s Third Law of Motion, eject exhaust gases in an equal and opposite direction.
-The main difference between them is that jets get the oxygen to burn fuel from the air and rockets carry their own oxygen, which allows them to operate in space.
Additionally, Jet engines have two openings (an intake and an exhaust nozzle). Rocket engines only have one opening (an exhaust nozzle).
