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?

<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>

The mass attached to a spring balance is 80 g. When the spring is stretched 10 cm. it requires a force of 0.2 N to hold it motio
ladessa [460]
We are given information:
m = 80g = 0.080kg
x = 10cm = 0.10m
F = 0.2N
d = 20cm = 0.20m

This mass-spring system can be represented as harmonic oscilator. Harmonic oscilator is a type of oscilator where mass oscilates around equilibrium point. Maximum distance on both sides of equilibrium point remains same Period of oscilation is constant. In harmonic oscilator all outside forces are neglected.

In this problem we have mass attached to a spring so we can use spring formula:
F = -kx
where k = spring constant
We can rearrange this formula in order to calculate k. We will ignore negative sign.
k = F / x
k = 0.2 / 0.1
k = 2 N/m

Now we can use this information to calculate the period. Formula is:
T=2 \pi  \sqrt{ \frac{m}{k} }  \\  \\ T=2 \pi  \sqrt{ \frac{0.080}{2} }   \\  \\ T=1.26s

We can see from formula that the period does not depend on maximum distance from equilibrium point. It only depends on mass and spring constant.
