What is the distance an object would be from Earth if its parallax were one arcsecond?

1 answer:

8 0

The correct answer is (a.) a parsec. A parsec is a distance an object would be from Earth if its parallax were one arcsecond. This unit of measurement is usually used in astronomy which makes it easier for astronomers to calculate or measure in space accurately.

Answer:

The ability of our bodies to adapt to different levels of gravity. You would become weaker and your heart is use to zero gravity. Boredom because there isn't much to in space. When intelligent people get bored, it's not pretty all the time...

5.00 kg of liquid water is heated to 100.0 °C in a closed system. At this temperature, the density of liquid water is 958 kg/m3.

user100 [1]

Answer:

$1.04\times 10^7\ J.$

Explanation:

In the question given :

Pressure is constant

Therefore, Work done, $W=P\times\Delta V$

Pressure, P=1.01 × 105 Pa.

Final volume, $V_f=8.50\ m^3.$

Initial volume, $V_i=\dfrac{Mass}{density}=\dfrac{5}{958}=5.22\times10^-3\ m^3.$

Therefore, W=8.58\times 10^{5}\ J.

Also, Heat Given, $Q=m\times L=5\times 2.26\times 10^{6}\ J=1.13\times 10^7\ J.$

Also, according to First law of thermodynamics:

$\Delta U=Q-W=(1.13\times 10^7)-(8.58\times 10^5)=1.04\times 10^7\ J.$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Scientists want to place a telescope on the moon to improve their view of distant planets. The telescope weighs 200 pounds on Ea

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Explanation:

the weight of the telescope decreases because the moon attract the body with less force as compared to earth due to less gravity as compared to earth

An open container holds ice of mass 0.555 kg at a temperature of -16.6 ∘C . The mass of the container can be ignored. Heat is su

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer: A. 23.59 minutes.

B. 249.65 minutes

Explanation: This question involves the concept of Latent Heat and specific heat capacities of water in solid phase.

<em>Latent heat </em><em>of fusion </em>is the total amount of heat rejected from the unit mass of water at 0 degree Celsius to convert completely into ice of 0 degree Celsius (and the heat required for vice-versa process).

<em>Specific heat capacity</em> of a substance is the amount of heat required by the unit mass of a substance to raise its temperature by 1 kelvin.

Here, <u>given that</u>:

mass of ice, m= 0.555 kg

temperature of ice, T= -16.6°C

rate of heat transfer, $q=820 J.min^{-1}$

specific heat of ice, $c_{i}= 2100 J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

latent heat of fusion of ice, $L_{i}=334\times10^{3}J.kg^{-1}$

<u>Asked:</u>

1. Time require for the ice to start melting.

2. Time required to raise the temperature above freezing point.

Sol.: 1.

<u>We have the formula:</u>

$Q=mc\Delta T$

Using above equation we find the total heat required to bring the ice from -16.6°C to 0°C.

$Q= 0.555\times2100\times16.6$

$Q= 19347.3 J$

Now, we require 19347.3 joules of heat to bring the ice to 0°C and then on further addition of heat it starts melting.

∴The time required before the ice starts to melt is the time required to bring the ice to 0°C.

$t=\frac{Q}{q}$

$=\frac{19347.3}{820}$

= 23.59 minutes.

Sol.: 2.

Next we need to find the time it takes before the temperature rises above freezing from the time when heating begins.

<em>Now comes the concept of Latent heat into the play, the temperature does not starts rising for the ice as soon as it reaches at 0°C it takes significant amount of time to raise the temperature because the heat energy is being used to convert the phase of the water molecules from solid to liquid.</em>

From the above solution we have concluded that 23.59 minutes is required for the given ice to come to 0°C, now we need some extra amount of energy to convert this ice to liquid water of 0°C.

<u>We have the equation:</u> latent heat, $Q_{L}= mL_{i}$
