The parallax method of measuring star distances gives most accurate results when the gap between two observations of a star is a

bout six months. Which of these statements best explains why a gap between observations affects the accuracy of the star distance?
a. It allows the star to complete its life cycle and evolve from one form to another.
b. It ensures that measurements are taken from two points which are very far apart.
c. It makes up for the changes in the star's position due to its movement around the sun.
d. It helps to take the measurement of changes in the position of the star due to supernova explosions.

Answer:

b). It ensures that measurements are taken from two points which are very far apart.

Explanation:

In parallax method of measurement of the distance of far or distant objects we know that we use the method of distance geometry

It is given as

angle = \frac{arc}{radius}

now we have

Arc = distance between two positions from which angle is measured

Angle = total angle subtends by the planet at two positions

radius = distance of the planet

so we will have

distance = \frac{arc}{angle}

so here if we ensure large arc length then the error in the measurement of the angle will be small and the distance will be accurate.

Calculate the heat, in kilocalories, that is absorbed if 183 g of ice at 0.0 ∘C is placed in an ice bag, melts, and warms to bod
boyakko [2]

Answer:

The total amount of heat needed will be Q_T=21.411kcal.

Explanation:

We will divide the calculation in two: First, the heat needed to melt the ice, and then the heat needed to warm the resulting liquid from 0°C to 37°C.

m=183g

l_f=80\frac{cal}{g} =334\frac{J}{g}

l_w=1\frac{cal}{g} =4.184\frac{J}{g}

<em>i) </em>The fusion heat will be:

Q_f=l_fm=14640cal=14.640kcal

<em>ii)</em> The heat needed to warm the water from T_i=0^{\circ}C to T_i=37^{\circ}C will be:

Q_w=l_wm(T_f-T_i)=6771cal=6.771kcal

So, the total amount needed will be the sum of these two results:

Q_T=Q_f+Q_w=14.640kcal+6.771kcal=21.411kcal.

A capacitor C is fully charged by connecting it to battery of V Volt. Then it is disconnected from battery. If the separation be
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

i )

When it is disconnected with the battery , the charge stored in it becomes fixed . When the plate distance becomes half , its capacitance becomes twice from C to 2C . Let charge stored in it at the time of disconnection from battery be Q . Let plate separation reduces from d to d / 2

So charged stored in it will remain unchanged .

ii )

Potential difference = charge / capacitance

in the first case potential difference = Q / C

in the second case potential difference = Q / 2C

So potential difference becomes half .

iii ) electric field = potential diff / plate separation

in the first case electric field = Q / (d x C )

in the second case electric field = 2 Q / (d x 2C)

= Q / (d  x C )

So electric field remains unchanged .

iv)

energy stored in first case = Q² / 2C

In the second case energy stored = Q² / 2x2C

so energy stored becomes half .
