Answer:

Distance in pc= 20parsecs

Distance in zLY= 65.2LY

Distance in AU= 4.1×10^6AU

Explanation:

Using the formular:

d = 1/p

Where d = distance

P= parallax angle in arc of second

d= 1/0.050

d= 20 parsed

Converting to Lighy years,LY :

1 PC = 3.26LY

d= 20pc × (3.26Ly/1pc)

d= 65.2Ly

To convert to AU, 206,265 AU = 1pc

d= 20pc × (2.06×10^5AU/1pc)

d= 4.1×10^6AU

Mademuasel [1]
A force is a push or pull upon an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object. Whenever there is an interaction between two objects, there is a force upon each of the objects. When the interaction ceases, the two objects no longer experience the force. Forces only exist as a result of an interaction.

Answer:

Explanation:

A) <em>Large</em>: As she opens her parachute, she begins to displace a large volume of air. This leads to a Large air resistance

B) <em>increase, weight</em>: As she falls, the air resistance force <u><em>increases</em></u>. Now there is a force acting in opposite directions to her <u><em>weight.</em></u>

C)<em>Weight, Decelerate:</em> The skydiver has only the downward force of her <u><em>weight</em></u> pulling down on her, so she starts to <u><em>decelerate</em></u>

D) <em>Weight, Upward, Resultant</em>:

Her <u><em>weight </em></u>is now equal to the <u><em>upward </em></u>force from the ground. Her <u><em>resultant  </em></u>force is then zero

E) <em>Increases, same, constant,  resultant, terminal</em>:

As she accelerates faster, the air resistance force <u><em>increases</em></u>. It is now the <u><em>same </em></u>as her weight. She now moves at a <u><em>constant</em></u> speed because the <u><em>resultant </em></u>force acting on her is zero. She is now at her <u><em>terminal </em></u>velocity.

F) <em>Increases, same, constant, terminal</em>:

As she decelerates, the air resistance force on her parachute <u><em>increases </em></u>until it is the <u><em>same</em></u> as her weight. She is now moving with a <u><em>constant </em></u>speed until she hits the ground - a new slower <u><em>terminal</em></u> velocity

What was the speed of a space shuttle that orbited Earth at an altitude of 1482 km?
gregori [183]

Answer:

v = 7121.3 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the centripetal force for the space shuttle is due to gravitational force of earth due to which it will rotate in circular path with constant speed

so here we will have

\frac{mv^2}{r} = \frac{GMm}{r^2}

here we know that

r = orbital radius = 6370 km + 1482 km

r = 7.852 \times 10^6 m

also we know that

M = 5.97 \times 10^{24} kg

now we will have

v^2 = \frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(5.97 \times 10^{24})}{7.852 \times 10^6}

v^2 = 5.07 \times 10^7

v = 7121.3 m/s

A stone is dropped from the upper observation deck of a tower, "500" m above the ground. (Assume g = 9.8 m/s2.) (a) Find the dis
Yuri [45]

Answer:

h₍₁₎ = 495,1 meters

h₍₂₎ = 480,4 m

h₍₃₎ = 455,9 m

...

..

Explanation:

The exercise is "free fall". t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }

Solving with this formula you find the time it takes for the stone to reach the ground (T) = 102,04 s

The heights (h) according to his time (t) are found according to the formula:

h(t) = 500 - 1/2 * g * t²

Remplacing "t" with the desired time.
