Whenever we represent forces using vectors, we ensure that the vector begins at the point of force exertion. In the case of weight, the point of exertion of the force is known as the center of gravity, which is the point through which the weight of an object can be said to act. Therefore, the downward arrow representing the weight would begin at the center of gravity of the object.

NeTakaya

Answer:

6 month interval

Explanation:

The distance to a nearby star in theory is more simple than

one might think! First we must learn about the parallax effect. This is the mechanism our eyes use to perceive things at a distance! When we look at the star from the earth we see it at different angles throughout the earth's movement around the sun similar to how we see when we cover on eye at a time. Modern telescopes and technology can help calculate the angle of the star to the earth with just two measurements (attached photo!) Since we know the distance of the earth from the sun we can use a simple trigonometric function to calculate the distance to the star. The two measurements needed to calculate the angle of the star to the earth caused by parallax (in short angle θ) are shown in the second attached photo.

So using a simple trigonometric function Sin\theta=\frac{r}{d} we can solve for d which is the distance of the earth to the star:

d=\frac{r}{Sin\theta}

In the first attached photo a picture where r is the distance to the star and the base of the triangle is the diameter of the earth.

If a scale of the solar system was built where 1 mm equaled 1 mile, could the model be practically built in a city?
Y_Kistochka [10]
No, it couldn't be.
On that scale, Neptune would be almost 1,740 MILES from the sun.
ON THAT SCALE !

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

For the explained scenario in the free body force diagram definitely the two forces 1200 N and 800 N should present as they are the acting forces

So A & D rules out.

Then you must think of B & C.

You also know that the weight of the load is always acting downwards as that force is generated by gravitational field of Earth. So 800 N should be downwards not upwards. That rules out B.

So answer is C

(Free body diagram is shown in the graph)
