Star a has a parallax angle of 0.02 arcseconds, and star b has a parallax of angle of 0.1 arcseconds. which star is more distant

and how much more distant is it?
Physics

Studentka2010 [4]3 years ago

<span>Star a is more distant and is approximately 5 times as far away as star b Parallax is the change in angle that one must do in order to observe the same object from different locations. The further away an object is, the smaller the parallax is. As the angles approach zero, the trig functions tend to be fairly linear. And 0.1 arc seconds and 0.02 arc seconds are close enough to zero for this to hold true. Since the parallax for star a is smaller than the parallax for star b, it is the more distant star. And since 0.1 divided by 0.02 = 5, it is approximately 5 times further away than star b.</span>

How does a sound wave transfer energy to your ears?
inessss [21]

Answer:

I think it's C!

Explanation:

Sound waves travel at 343 m/s through the air and faster through liquids and solids. The waves transfer energy from the source of the sound, e.g. a drum, to its surroundings. Your ear detects sound waves when vibrating air particles cause your eardrum to vibrate. The bigger the vibrations the louder the sound.

Hope this helps!

An oil droplet is sprayed into a uniform electric field of adjustable magnitude. The 0.11 g droplet hovers
ohaa [14]

Answer:

The direction of the field is downward, and negatively charged particles will experience an upwards force due to the field.

F = N e E     where E is the value of the field and N e the charge Q

M g = N e E      and M g is the weight of the drop

N = M g / (e E)

N = 1.1E-4 * 9.8 / (1.6E-19 * 370) = 1.1 * 9.8 / (1.6 * 370) * E15 = 1.82E13

.00011 kg is a very large drop

Q = N e = M g / E = .00011 * 9.8 / 370 = 2.91E-6 Coulombs

Check:     N = Q / e = 2.91E-6 / 1.6E-19 = 1.82E13   electrons

A car has a momentum of -456 kg*m/s. What direction is it moving?
Solnce55 [7]

backward movement

because momentum = mass × speed

And mass must be in positive value..

so negative value is speed

which moving backward..
