<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>

A plane accelerates from rest at a constant rate of 5.00 m/s2 along a runway that is 1800 m long. Assume that the plane reaches
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

26.8 seconds

Explanation:

To solve this problem we have to use 2 kinematics equations: *I can't use subscripts for some reason on here so I am going to use these variables:

v = final velocity

z = initial velocity

x = distance

t = time

a = acceleration

{v}^{2}  =  {z}^{2}  + 2ax

v = z + at

First let's find the final velocity the plane will have at the end of the runway using the first equation:

{v}^{2}  =  {0}^{2}  + 2(5)(1800)

v = 60 \sqrt{5}

Now we can plug this into the second equation to find t:

60 \sqrt{5}  = 0 + 5t

t = 12 \sqrt{5}

Then using 3 significant figures we round to 26.8 seconds

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

the longest wavelength of incident sunlight that can eject an electron from the platinum is 233 nm

Explanation:

Given data

Φ = 5.32 eV

to find out

the longest wavelength

solution

we know that

hf = k(maximum) +Ф   ...............1

here we consider k(maximum ) will be zero because photon wavelength max when low photon energy

so hf = 0

and hc/ λ = +Ф

so λ = hc/Ф  ................2

now put value hc = 1240 ev nm and Φ = 5.32 eV

so hc = 1240 / 5.32

hc = 233 nm

the longest wavelength of incident sunlight that can eject an electron from the platinum is 233 nm

an object of mass 8 kg is whriled round in a vertical circle of radius 2m with a constant speed of 6m/s .Then the maximum and mi
algol13

Answer:

Maximum Tension=224N

Minimum tension= 64N

Explanation:

Given

mass =8 kg

constant speed = 6m/s .

g=10m/s^2

Maximum Tension= [(mv^2/ r) + (mg)]

Minimum tension= [(mv^2/ r) - (mg)]

Then substitute the values,

Maximum Tension= [8 × 6^2)/2 +(8×9.8)] = 224N

Minimum tension= [8 × 6^2)/2 -(8×9.8)]

=64N

Hence, Minimum tension and maximum Tension are =64N and 2224N respectively
