What is stellar parallax?a.It describes the fact that stars are actually moving relative to one another, even though to our eyes

the stars appear fixed in the constellations. b.It is the change in the set of constellations that we see at different times of year in the evening sky. c.It is the slight back-and-forth shifting of star positions that occurs as we view the stars from different positions in Earth's orbit of the Sun. d.It is the daily rise and set of the stars.

Answer:

Option C

C. It is the slight back-and-forth shifting of star positions that occurs as we view the stars from different positions in Earth's orbit of the Sun.

Explanation:

The angle due to the change in position of a nearby object against the background stars it is known as parallax.          

The parallax angle can be used to find out the distance by means of triangulation. Making a triangle between the nearby star, the Sun and the Earth(as is shown in the image below), knowing that the distance between the Earth and the Sun (150000000 Km) is defined as 1 astronomical unit.

d(pc) = \frac{1}{p('')}  (1)

Equation (1) represents the distance in a unit known as parsec (pc).

Key terms:

Parsec: Parallax of arc second

32. (FR) A mass moving at 25 m/s slides along a rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction is 0.30. (A) Use force and
scoray [572]

Answer:

A)s = 104.16 m

b)s= 104.16 m

Explanation:

Given that

u = 25 m/s

μ = 0.3

The friction force will act opposite to the direction of motion.

Fr= μ m g

Fr= -  m a

a=acceleration

μ m g = - m a

a= - μ g

a= - 0.3 x 10 m/s²          ( take g= 10 m/s²)

a= - 3  m/s²

The final speed of the mass is zero ,v= 0

We know that

v² = u² +2 a s

s=distance

0² = 25² - 2 x 3 x s

625 = 6 s

s = 104.16 m

By using energy conservation

Work done by all the forces =Change in the kinetic energy

- Fr.s=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2-\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2

Negative sign because force act opposite to the displacement.

- \mu\ m\ g \ s=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2-\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2

-\mu\ g \ s=\dfrac{1}{2}v^2-\dfrac{1}{2}u^2

-0.3\times 10\times \ s=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0^2-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 25^2

- 3 x 2 x s = - 625

s= 104.16 m

Vector B has x, y, and z components of 2.4,
Fed [463]

The magnitude of the vector B is 10.9

A vector is a quantity which has magnitude as well as direction and it follows vector laws of addition.

To calculate the magnitude of the vector, we have to put the square of the components of the vector along the axes under the root.

Vector B has components,

x = 2.4

y = 9.8

z = 4.1

Applying the formula,

|B| = √x²+y²+z²

|B| = √(2.4)² + (9.8)² + (4.1)²

|B| = √5.76+96.04+16.81

|B| = √118.61

|B| = 10.9

Talking about the direction the the Vector B, it will be the line joining the origin with the points (2.4,9.8,4.1)
