What do astronomers use in addition to parallax to find the actual distance of stars that are close to Earth?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

trigonometry (guessing)

Explanation:

ellipse: is the shape of an orbit : looks like an oval

periapsis : shortest distance between something like the moon and the planet its orbiting around like the earth

parallax is triangulation. like how gps works. looking at a star one day and then looking at it again 6 months later, an astronomer can see a difference in the viewing angle for the star. With trigonometry, the different angles yield a distance. This technique works for stars within about 400 light years of earth

https://science.howstuffworks.com/question224.htm

By comparing the intrinsic brightness to the star's apparent brightness we can calculate the distance of stars

1/r^2 rule states that the apparent brightness of a light source is proportional to the square of its distance.Jan 11, 2022

https://www.space.com/30417-parallax.html

alternative distance measurement for stars used by most astronomers is the parsec. A star with a parallax angle of 1 arcsecond has a distance of 1 parsec, or 1 parsec per arcsecond of parallax, which is about 3.26 light years

The half-life of Co-55 is 175 hours. How much of a 4000 g of Cobalt-55 sample would be left after 525 hours?
Harrizon [31]

We know that whatever amount we start with, half of it decays and forms atoms of other elements in 175 hours.  So in order to figure out how much is left after 525 hours, we'll need to know how many half-lifes pass in that amount of time.

Well, (525 divided by 175) is exactly 3 half-lifes.  So this will be easy.

-- After 1 half-life . . .

. . . . . 50% decays, 50% is still there.

-- After the 2nd half-life . . .

. . . . . (half of the leftover 50%) = another 25% decays, 25% is left.

-- After the 3rd half-life . . .

. . . . . (half of the leftover 25%) = another 12.5% decays, 12.5% is left.

12.5% of 4,000g = (0.125 x 4,000g) = <em>500 g</em> .

============================================

<u>Another way</u>:

After 1 half-life, 1/2 is left.

After 2 half-lifes, 1/4 is left.

After 3 half-lifes, 1/8 is left.

1/8 of 4,000g = (4,000g/8) = <em>500 g </em>.

(a) In what direction would the ship in Exercise 3.57 have to travel in order to have a velocity straight north relative to the
shtirl [24]

Answer:

Direction of ship: 9.45° West of North

Ship's relative speed: 7.87m/s

Explanation:

A. Direction of ship: since horizontal of the velocity of boat relative to the ground is 0

Vx=0

Therefore, -VsSin∅+VcCos∅40°

Sin∅ = Vc/Vs × Cos 40°

Sin∅ = 1.5/7 ×Cos40°

Sin∅= 0.164

∅= Sin-¹ (0.164)

∅= 9.45° W of N

B. Ship's relative speed:

Vy= VsCos∅ + Vcsin40°

= 7Cos9.45° + 1.5sin40°

= 7×0.986 + 1.5×0.642

= 7.865

= 7.87m/s

It takes a minimum distance of 76.50 m to stop a car moving at 15.0 m/s by applying the brakes (without locking the wheels). Ass
Vinvika [58]

The minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at 32.0 m/s is 348.3 m.

<h3>Acceleration of the car </h3>

The acceleration of the car before stopping at the given distance is calculated as follows;

v² = u² + 2as

when the car stops, v = 0

0 = u² + 2as

0 = 15² + 2(76.5)a

0 = 225 + 153a

-a = 225/153

a = - 1.47 m/s²

<h3>Distance traveled when the speed is 32 m/s</h3>

If the same force is applied, then acceleration is constant.

v² = u² + 2as

0 = 32² + 2(-1.47)s

2.94s = 1024

s = 348.3 m
