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.

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

8.854 pF

Explanation:

side of plate = 0.1 m ,

d = 1 cm = 0.01 m,

V = 5 kV = 5000 V

V' = 1 kV = 1000 V

Let K be the dielectric constant.

So, V' = V / K

K = V / V' = 5000 / 1000 = 5

C = ε0 A / d = 8.854 x 10^-12 x 0.1 x 0.1 / 0.01 = 8.854 x 10^-12 F

C = 8.854 pF

-- Whether an object floats or sinks in water depends on whether its density is more or less than the density of water.

-- The density of the rock didn't change when she threw it into the lake.

-- The density of the water didn't change when she threw the rock into the lake.

-- The density of anything never depends on how much of it you have.

-- If the rock sank in two ounces of water, it'll sink in a billion gallons of water.

--  Choose ' <em>A </em>' .
