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

rewona [7]

Answer:

v = 6.315 cm

Explanation:

given,

R₁ = 4 cm = 0.04 m

R₂ = 15 cm = 0.15 m

n =1.5

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}=(n-1)(\dfrac{1}{R_1}-\dfrac{1}{R_2})

\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{-1}=(1.5-1)(\dfrac{1}{0.04}+\dfrac{1}{0.15})

\dfrac{1}{v}+1 = 0.5 \times 31.66

\dfrac{1}{v} = 15.833

v = 0.06315 m

v = 6.315 cm  

hence, the distance of the image from the back surface is v = 6.315 cm

A 1.0 104 kg spacecraft is traveling through space with a speed of 1200 m/s relative to Earth. A thruster fires for 2.0 min, exe
aniked [119]
We are given information:
m=1.0* 10^{4} kg \\ v=1200m/s \\ t=2min=120s \\ F = 25kN = 25000N

If we apply Newton's second law we can calculate acceleration:
F = m * a
a = F / m
a = 25000 / 10000
a = 2.5 m/s^2

Now we can use this information to calculate change of speed.
a = v / t
v = a * t
v = 2.5 * 120
v = 300 m/s

Force is being applied in direction that is opposite to a direction in which space craft is moving. This means that final speed will be reduced.
v = 1200 - 300
v = 900 m/s

Formula for momentum is:
p = m * v
Initial momentum:
p = 10000 * 1200
p = 12 000 000
p = 12 *10^6 kg*m/s
Final momentum:
p = 10000 * 900
p = 9 000 000
p = 9 *10^6 kg*m/s

If you walk along a log floating on a lake why does the log move in the opposite direction?
aivan3 [116]

<em>HERE'S</em><em> </em><em>YOUR</em><em> </em><em>ANSWER</em><em>: </em>

•Since the log is stationary and you are moving beside the log, it seems to move in the opposite direction from your point of view, because from your perspective u are stationary and the log is moving. If you were to stop moving the log would also stop moving.

You have:
 
 A1= 0.15 m²
 A2=6.0 m²
 F1=130.0 N
 
 To solve this problem you must use the pressure formula, as below:
 
 P1=P2
 F1/A1=F2/A2
 
 Then, you have:
 
 m2=A2xF1/A1xg
 
 g=9.81 m/s² (This is the acceleration of gravity)
 
 When you substitute the values in m2=A2xF1/A1xg, you obtain:
 
 m2=(0.60 m² x 130.0 N)/(0.15 m² x 9.81 m/s²)
 
 The answer is:
 
 m2=530 Kg
