Physics
1 answer:
iren2701 [21]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The second option : The closer a star is to us, the more parallax it exhibits.

Explanation:

When a star is close to the observer, it is possible to better see the difference in movement and distant because of space behind or other stars close to it, so we can measure distances from these celestial bodies by using parallax. Just as trees seem to move more than the mountains in the background during a car trip, so do stars, but in a much more imperceptible way. The closer to the viewer the more parallax will display.

What evidence do we have that the halo population of stars are older than other stars in the galaxy?
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

a.They have a smaller proportion of heavy elements.

Explanation:

As a  star grows old , its metal content becomes low . Our sun is Population I star which means it is very new . Its metal content is 1.4 % . By the term metal we mean any element heavier than helium . Population II stars are older than population I stars . They will have lesser content of metal . Population III are oldest star group which have metal content as less as .015 % .

6. An elevator takes 33k) of energy to lift a group of people up 6 m. What is the total mass of
Xelga [282]

Answer:

350 Kg

Explanation:

We use the Work Formula:

W = Force . Distance

33.000 Joules = Force . 6

Force = 5500 Newtons

Force = Mass . Acceleration

5500 = Mass . 10

Mass = 550

550 - 200 = 350 Kg

Given:

Lens.........diameter ...fl#

eyepiece...2cm............5

objective...40cm........15

focal length of eyepiece = 2*5 = 10cm

focal length of objective = 40*15 = 600cm

magnification = FL obj / FL eyp = 600/10 = 60x

If the sun had twice the mace how would that affect the gravitational force of the sun
daser333 [38]

Answer:  Gravity is the force that keeps planets in orbit around the Sun. Gravity alone holds us to Earth's surface.

Planets have measurable properties, such as size, mass, density, and composition. A planet's size and mass determines its gravitational pull.

A planet's mass and size determines how strong its gravitational pull is.

Models can help us experiment with the motions of objects in space, which are determined by the gravitational pull between them.
