Explanation:
The five basic postulate of kinetic molecular theory includes:
1) All gases consist of large amount and numbers of tiny particles that are far apart from each other and also relative to their size.
2) The collisions between gas particles and gas particles against container walls is refer to as elastic collision.
3) All gas particles are in a continuous random and rapid motion. They possess kinetic energy which is energy of motion.
4) There are no attractive force between gas particles.
5) The temperature of a gas depends on the average kinetic energy of the gas particle.
Mgh= 1/2 m v^2
gh= 1/2 v^2 9.8 * 8= 1/2 v^2
solve for v
V = sqrt(2gH)where H = 8 m.
The Gulf Stream, for example, has an average speed of 4 mph, or 100 miles/day, or 3600 miles/year, in round numbers. A complete circuit around the Atlantic is 8 or 10 thousand miles, which would take around 3 years on a raft.
(1 parsec) is the distance at which an object has a parallax of 1 arcsecond. The distance is about 3.26 light years.
Another way to understand it is: The distance from which the Earth's orbit appears 1 arcsecond across.
For a parallax angle of 1/2 arcsecond, the distance is <em>2 parsecs </em>(about 6.52 light years).
1 arcsecond is 1/3600 of a degree, 0.00028 degree.
Answer:
Scientists have studied eclipses since ancient times. Aristotle observed that the Earth's shadow has a circular shape as it moves across the moon. He posited that this must mean the Earth was round. Another Greek astronomer named Aristarchus used a lunar eclipse to estimate the distance of the Moon and Sun from Earth
