Answer:

$30.86\times 10^{13} km$

Explanation:

Given the parallex of the star is 0.1 sec.

The distance is inversely related with the parallex of the star. Mathematically,

$d=\frac{1}{P}$

Here, d is the distance to a star which is measured in parsecs, and P is the parallex which is measured in arc seconds.

Now,

$d=\frac{1}{0.1}\\d=10 parsec$

And also know that,

$1 parsec=3.086\times 10^{13} km$

Therefore the distance of the star is $30.86\times 10^{13} km$ away.

Force F acts between two charges, q1 and q2, separated by a distance d. If q1 is increased to twice its original value and the d

Step2247 [10]

Okay, haven't done physics in years, let's see if I remember this.

So Coulomb's Law states that $F = k \frac{Q_1Q_2}{d^2}$ so if we double the charge on $Q_1$ and double the distance to $(2d)$ we plug these into the equation to find

<span> $F_{new} = k \frac{2Q_1Q_2}{(2d)^2}=k \frac{2Q_1Q_2}{4d^2} = \frac{2}{4} \cdot k \frac{Q_1Q_2}{d^2} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot F_{old}$ </span>

So we see the new force is exactly 1/2 of the old force so your answer should be $\frac{1}{2}F$ if I can remember my physics correctly.

compare the theories that scientists proposed about the source of the sun's energy with the process of nuclear fusion in the sun

ANTONII [103]

The sun's source of energy is know as nuclear fusion (means to fuse) this process has a small nuclei atoms that join together to form a large nucleus. The result of this process is released energy. The fusion of hydrogen into helium in the sun makes a large amount of energy and this is known as the sun's energy source.
The theories that scientist proposed about the source of the sun's energy was that the sun burned fuel to generate its energy and that gravity was causing the sun to shrink slowly and have its energy released. Also both of these theories were disproved.

A bucket of water of mass 10 kg is pulled at constant velocity up to a platform 30 meters above the ground. This takes 10 minute

Rudik [331]

Answer:

W = 2352 J

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of the bucket, M = 10 kg

velocity of pulling the bucket, v = 3 $m.min^{-1}$

height of the platform, h = 30 m

time taken, t = 10 min

rate of loss of water-mass, m = $0.4 kg.min^{-1}$

Here, according to the given situation the bucket moves at the rate,

$v=3 m.min^{-1}$

The mass varies with the time as,

$M=(10-0.4t) kg$

Consider the time interval between t and t + ∆t. During this time the bucket moves a distance

∆x = 3∆t meters

So, during this interval change in work done,

∆W = m.g∆x

<u>For work calculation:</u>

$W=\int_{0}^{10} [(10-0.4t).g\times 3] dt$

$W= 3\times 9.8\times [10t-\frac{0.4t^{2}}{2}]^{10}_{0}$

$W= 2352 J$

What are the effects of forces to the motion of an object?

melamori03 [73]

Forces affect how objects move. They may cause motion; they may also slow, stop, or change the direction of motion of an object that is already moving. Since force cause changes in the speed or direction of an object, we can say that forces cause changes in velocity. Remember that acceleration is a change in velocity.
