Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

Here, Diameter= 1,400,000 km = 1.4 x 10^6 km

         Distance= 7.57 x 10^13 km

According to the formula, angular diameter= Diameter/Distance

\alpha = \frac{Diameter}{Distance}

=\frac{1.4\times 10^6}{7.57}\times 10^{-13}

=0.18\times 10^{-7}\text{ radian}

Since 1 radian=206265 arc second,

Therefore,

206265\times 0.18\times 10^{-7}

=\frac{37127.7}{10^7}

= .00371 arc second

Hence, the approximate answer is option (C) i.e. 0.0038 arc second.

Answer:

\theta = 0.0038\ arc\ sec

option c

Explanation:

given data:

Diameter of a star = 1,400,000 km

star distance from sun = 7.57\times 10^{13} km

we know that

Angle is given as

\theta = \frac{d}{r} = \frac{14\times 10^5}{7.57\times 10^{13}}

\theta = 1.849\times 10^{-8} rad

we know that

1\ arc\ second  = 4.84\times 10^{-6} rad

1 rad = \frac{1\ arc\ sec}{4.84\times 10^{-6}}

SO, \theta = \frac{1.849\times10^{-8}}{4.84\times10^{-6}}

\theta = 3.82\time 10^{-3} arc sec

\theta = 0.0038\ arc\ sec

option c

What are the four countries with the largest land areas in the western hemisphere?
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Canada, United States, Brazil, Argentina

Explanation:

The four largest countries by area in the Western Hemisphere are Canada, United States, Brazil, and Argentina. These countries are located in North and South America, with Canada and the United States being in North America, while Brazil and Argentina being in South America. All of these countries are in the top 10 largest countries in the world by area, with Canada being on the second place, the United States on third, Brazil fifth, and Argentina eight. One of the main reasons why these countries are so large is because they are countries of the New World, all being former colonies, where the populations where relatively small, but the European settlers managed to occupy very large areas. Once they gained independence, the boundaries were set in accordance to the colonial boundaries, so instead of having numerous smaller countries divided because of ethnicity, race, or culture, large multiracial, multiethnic, multicultural countries were established.

The Midwest is an important agricultural region in the United States. In a short paragraph, explain why the Midwest often is ref
PolarNik [594]
"The Midwest receives the nickname of "breadbasket" because of the abundant cereal crops it produces for the United States and the world; these crops include wheat, corn and oats. The history of staple cereal crop production in the Midwest dates back to the 1700s. The fertile soils of the Midwestern states and availability of cheap, abundant land proved suitable for launching a large-scale farming effort, ultimately leading to high volume production of predictable and reliable crops" credit to google put it in ur own word
