Answer:

The angular diameter is 77.35 arc-seconds.

Explanation:

The angular diameter, as shown in the figure, is the angle x  subtended by the the diameter of the object.

Before we do the calculation, we first convert everything to meters.

The diameter of the of the object in meters is

75cm =0.75m,

and the distance to the object in meters is

2 km = 2000 m.

Now, from trigonometry we get:

tan (\frac{x}{2} )= \dfrac{radius}{length} = \dfrac{0.75/2}{2000} \\\\\dfrac{x}{2} = tan^{-1}(\dfrac{0.75/2}{2000})\\\\\dfrac{x}{2}= 0.0107\\\\\boxed{x= 0.0215^o}

and since 1 degree = 3600 arc-seconds, x in arc-seconds is

x= 0.0215*3600 \\\\\boxed{x= 77.35''}

Assuming thermal equilibrium and neglecting air loss, determine the absolute internal pressure of the air when it is cold.
densk [106]
Since the temperature decreases (cold) , the pressure exerted will decrease. the particles are move slower and collide less vigorously and frequently with the inner surface of the container . therefore since p = f/a , the pressure will decrease as force exerted decreases .

A red light means to stop. If you are turning from a two-way road or onto a two-way road, then you are NOT allowed to turn
lyudmila [28]

A red light means to stop. If you are turning from a two-way road or onto a two-way road, then you are NOT allowed to reverse your car If you can't do it

Red is typically used to indicate danger or warning, and on traffic lights, it indicates a potential hazard ahead and, as a result, serves as a signal for drivers to stop. If the traffic light turns red while you are already at a junction, you must move swiftly to the opposite side to avoid a potential accident with oncoming traffic.
If the traffic light has turned red as you approach the junction and you are just entering it, you must stop. Unless there is a sign clearly telling you not to turn left at the red light, you may do so. Give way to people and cars coming from other directions when turning.
