Answer:
It's the duration between successive new moons. Also called a lunation or synodic month, it has a mean period of 29.53059 days (29 days 12 hours and 44 minutes).
Answer:
The distance of stars and the earth can be averagely measured by using the knowledge of geometry to estimate the stellar parallax angle(p).
From the equation below, the stars distances can be calculated.
D = 1/p
Distance = 1/(parallax angle)
Stellar parallax can be used to determine the distance of stars from an observer, on the surface of the earth due to the motion of the observer. It is the relative or apparent angular displacement of the star, due to the displacement of the observer.
Explanation:
Parallax is the observed apparent change in the position of an object resulting from a change in the position of the observer. Specifically, in the case of astronomy it refers to the apparent displacement of a nearby star as seen from an observer on Earth.
The parallax of an object can be used to approximate the distance to an object using the formula:
D = 1/p
Where p is the parallax angle observed using geometry and D is the actual distance measured in parsecs. A parsec is defined as the distance at which an object has a parallax of 1 arcsecond. This distance is approximately 3.26 light years
Answer:
40000÷40=1000 joules is required to work in 40 seconds
Options:
(a) Total kinetic energy of the system remains constant.
(b) Total momentum of the system is conserved.
(c) Both A and B are true.
(d) Neither A nor B are true.
Answer:
(b) Total momentum of the system is conserved.
Explanation:
An inelastic collision is a type of collision in which momentum is conserved and kinetic energy is not conserved. That is, there is loss of kinetic energy.
In an inelastic collision:
Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision
An example of inelastic collision is seen in the ballistic pendulum, The ballistic pendulum is a device in which a projectile such as a bullet is fired into a suspended heavy wooden stationary block.
