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>

Answer:

2.76×10⁻¹⁰ C

Explanation:

Applying,

V = W/q................... Equation 1

Where V = Electric Potential, E = Electric potential energy, q = charge.

make q the subject of the equation

q = W/V................ Equation 2

From the question,

Given: W = 4.26×10⁻⁸ J, V = 154.5 V

Substitute these values into equation 2

q = 4.26×10⁻⁸/154.5

q = 2.76×10⁻¹⁰ C

a light object and a heavy object have the same kinetic energy. which has the greater momentum? explain.
vodomira [7]

The kinetic energies of a light and a heavy body are equivalent. The momentum is greater for the light body.

<h3>What is momentum?</h3>

Momentum is characterized as the intensity of a body's motion. As momentum depends on both velocity and the direction of the body's motion, it is quantified by "mass velocity". Since velocity is a vector and mass is a scalar, momentum is a vector quantity.

As a result of its higher mass, a heavy object will move with more momentum. Only when the average speed of the heavy particles is lower than that of the light particles will the average kinetic energy of the light particles equal the average kinetic energy of the heavy particles.

At the same temperature and pressure, lighter gases will move more quickly than heavier ones. 0K on the Kelvin scale denotes that the particles are not moving.

To learn more about momentum refer to:

Covalent bonds form because most atoms seek to have how many electrons in their most outer shell?
suter [353]

Answer: 8

Explanation:

Non metals which have 4 electrons in the outer shell i.e in the valence shell bond with the other similar non metals having 4 electrons in their valence shell. This bond is known as covalent bond in which the two atoms share their valence electrons with each other in order to complete their valence shell. These atoms seeks to have 8 electrons in order to attain noble gas configuration.
