Ad libitum [116K]3 years ago

The distance and parallax are inversely related. We can find the distance using the following equation:

d= \frac{1}{p}

where d is distance and p is parallax.

We are given the parallax of the comet relative to the moon, and we are looking for the distance to the comet relative to the moon's distance, so wee can plug in the following value:

d= \frac{1}{ \frac{1}{40} }

The distance is 40 times as far away as the moon.

g When a high-energy proton or pion traveling near the speed of light collides with a nucleus, it may travel 3.2 10-15 m before
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Time, t=1.07\times 10^{-23}\ s

Explanation:

Given that,

When a high-energy proton or pion traveling near the speed of light collides with a nucleus, it may travel 3.2\times 10^{-15}\ m before interacting.

Let t is the time interval required for the strong interaction to occur. It will move with the speed of light. So,

t=\dfrac{d}{c}\\\\t=\dfrac{3.2\times 10^{-15}}{3\times 10^8}\\\\t=1.07\times 10^{-23}\ s

So, the time interval is 1.07\times 10^{-23}\ s
