Answer:

a) How many parsecs are there in one astronomical unit?

$4.85x10^{-6}pc$

(b) How many meters are in a parsec?

$3.081x10^{16}m$

(c) How many meters in a light-year?

$9.46x10^{15}m$

(d) How many astronomical units in a light-year?

$63325AU$

(e) How many light-years in a parsec?

Explanation:

The parallax angle can be used to find out the distance using triangulation. Making a triangle between the nearby star, the Sun and the Earth, knowing that the distance between the Earth and the Sun ( $1.496x10^{11} m$ ) is defined as 1 astronomical unit:

$\tan{p} = \frac{1AU}{d}$

Where d is the distance to the star.

Since p is small it can be represent as:

$p(rad) = \frac{1AU}{d}$ (1)

Where p(rad) is the value of in radians

However, it is better to express small angles in arcseconds

$p('') = p(rad)\frac{180^\circ}{\pi rad}.\frac{60'}{1^\circ}.\frac{60''}{1'}$

$p('') = 2.06x10^5 p(rad)$

$p(rad) = \frac{p('')}{2.06x10^5}$ (2)

Then, equation 2 can be replace in equation 1:

$\frac{p('')}{2.06x10^5} = \frac{1AU}{d}$

$\frac{d}{1AU} = \frac{2.06x10^5}{p('')}$ (3)

From equation 3 it can be see that $1pc = 2.06x10^5 AU$

a) How many parsecs are there in one astronomical unit?

$1AU . \frac{1pc}{2.06x10^5AU}$ ⇒ $4.85x10^{-6}pc$

(b) How many meters are in a parsec?

$2.06x10^{5}AU . \frac{1.496x10^{11}m}{1AU}$ ⇒ $3.081x10^{16}m$

(c) How many meters in a light-year?

To determine the number of meters in a light-year it is necessary to use the next equation:

$x = c.t$

Where c is the speed of light ( $c = 3x10^{8}m/s$ ) and x is the distance that light travels in 1 year.

In 1 year they are 31536000 seconds

$x = (3x10^{8}m/s)(31536000s)$

$x = 9.46x10^{15}m$

(d) How many astronomical units in a light-year?

$9.46x10^{15}m . \frac{1AU}{1.496x10^{11}m}$ ⇒ $63325AU$

(e) How many light-years in a parsec?

$2.06x10^{5}AU . \frac{1ly}{63235AU}$ ⇒ $3.26ly$

Answer:

Explanation:

The frequency is 16.0 Hz. That means that 16 of these waves can pass a single point in 1 second. We are given frequency and wavelength. The equation that relates them is

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$ where f is frequency, v is velocity, and λ is wavelength. Putting all this together:

$16.0=\frac{v}{97.5}$ and solving for velocity,

v = 16.0(97.5) so

v = 1560 m/s. This wave can travel 1560 meters in a single second!!! Now that we know this velocity, we can use it in a proportion to find our unknown, which is how long, t, it will take to hear this sound 11000m away. (11 km is 11000m):

$\frac{1560m}{1s}=\frac{11000}{t}$ and cross multiply to get

1560t = 11000 so

t = 7.1 seconds
