Answer: 3.26 light years

Explanation:

Each star has a parallax of one arcsecond at a distance of one parsec, which is equivalent to 3.26 light years.

so the parallax of 1 arcsecond will be at a distance of <em>1/1 × 3.26 light years</em>

A 550 N physics student stands on a bathroom scale in an elevator that is supported by a cable. The combined mass of student plu
mario62 [17]

Answer:

(a) The elevator has an acceleration of 2.14 m/s² and direction is downward

(b) The acceleration is a=2.14 m/s²

Explanation:

Let +y be upward direction

For Part (a)

The mass of student (whose weight is 550N) is:

ms=w/g

ms=550/9.8=56.1 kg

Apply ∑Fy=ma

n-m_{s}g=m_{s}a\\

Solve for acceleration a

a=\frac{n-m_{s}g}{m_{s}}\\ a=\frac{430N-550N}{56.1kg} \\a=-2.14m/s^{2}

The elevator has an acceleration of 2.14 m/s² and direction is downward

Part(b)

For the acceleration is the scale reads 670 N

For n=670N

So

a=\frac{n-m_{s}g}{m_{s}}\\ a=\frac{670N-550N}{56.1kg}\\ a=2.14m/s^{2}
