Star A and Star B have measured stellar parallax of 1.0 arc second and 0.75 arc second, respectively. Which star is closer? How

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Star A is closer than Star B

Explanation:

As we know that in parallax method of distance measurement the angle subtended by the star when it covers a distance of one Parsec arc length, it is known as parallax angle

Here we can say

$angle = \frac{1 Parsec}{distance}$

so we have

$distance = \frac{1 Parsec}{angle}$

so here we have

angle subtended by Star A = 1 arc sec

angle subtended by star B = 0.75 arc sec

now we have

distance for star A is given as

$d_a = \frac{1 Parsec}{1} = 1 Parsec$

distance of star B is given as

$d_b = \frac{1 Parsec}{0.75} = 1.33 Parsec$

So star A is closer than star B

At the equator, the radius of the Earth is approximately 6370 km. A plane flies at a very low altitude at a constant speed of v

Cerrena [4.2K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of linear motion. From there we will define the distance as the circumference of the earth (approximate as a sphere). With the speed given in the statement we will simply clear the equations below and find the time.

$R= 6370*10^3 m$

$v = 239m/s$

$a = 16.5m/s^2$

The circumference of the earth would be

$\phi = 2\pi R$

Velocity is defined as,

$v = \frac{x}{t}$

$t = \frac{x}{v}$

Here $x = \phi$ , then

$t = \frac{\phi}{v} = \frac{2\pi (6370*10^3)}{239}$

$t = 167463.97s$

Therefore will take 167463.97 s or 1 day 22 hours 31 minutes and 3.97seconds

A car travels in a straight line for 5 h at a constant speed of 72 km/h. What is it’s acceleration

Luda [366]

Answer:

$a \approx \: 0.001 \: m {s}^{ - 2}$

Explanation:

Given:

$initial \: velocity \: (u) = 0 \\ \\ Final \: Velocity \: (v) = 72 km /h \\ \\ Time \: (t) = 5 \: hours \\ \\ Acceleration \: (a) =? \\ \\ \because \: a = \frac{v - u}{t} \\ \\ \therefore \: a = \frac{72 - 0}{5} \\ \\ a = \frac{72}{5} \\ \\ a = 14.5 \: km {h}^{ - 2} \\ \\ a = \frac{14.5 \times 1000}{3600\times 3600} \: m {s}^{ - 2} \\ \\ a = 0.00111882716 \\ \\ a \approx \: 0.001 \: m {s}^{ - 2}$

How much time does it take a person to walk 12km north at the velocity at a velocity of 6.5 km/hrs?

alukav5142 [94]

"6.5 km/hr" is not a velocity. It's just a speed, so
we don't know what direction he's walking.

If he happens to be walking north, then it takes him

(12 km) / (6.5 km/hr) = 1.846... hours (rounded) .

If he's walking in any other direction, it takes him longer than that.

If the angle between north and the direction he's walking is
90 degrees or more, then he can never cover any northward
distance, no matter how long he walks.

If Johnny won a 300 meter race in 40 seconds, his speed would be ?

irina1246 [14]

Formula: s = d/t

s = speed

d = distance

t = time

Solve using the values we are given.

s = 300/40

s = 7.5m/s

Best of Luck!
