6 0

Answer:

Astronomers use radar measurements, telemetry and exploration of solar system to get precise measurement of astronomical units.

Astronomers use parallax techniques. They measure the distance between the Earth and solar planets. Astronomers use parallax techniques to conduct parallax measurements which gave them accurate and precise values of the length of astronomical units

Explanation:

Astronomical unit is a unit length which is the average distance between the Earth and the sun which is about 150 millions kilometers.

Astronomers use radar measurements, telemetry and exploration of solar system to get precise measurement of astronomical units.

Astronomers use parallax techniques. They measure the distance between the Earth and solar planets. Astronomers use parallax techniques to conduct parallax measurements which gave them accurate and precise values of the length of astronomical units.

If the distance between a point charge and a neutral atom and is multiplied by a factor of 5, by what factor does the force on t
dexar [7]

Given :

The distance between a point charge and a neutral atom and is multiplied by a factor of 5.

To Find :

By what factor does the force on the neutral atom by the point charge change.

Solution :

We know, electrostatic force between two object is directly proportional to product of charge and inversely proportional to distance between them.

Now, charge in neutral atom is 0 C.

So, the electrostatic force between two of them is also 0 N.

Therefore, by changing distance between the charge the forces did no change ( it remains zero).

Which is associated with a fission reaction? *
podryga [215]

Answer: Radioactive waste

Explanation:

The nuclear fission reaction consists of heavy atomic particles or heavy nucleus, like plutonium and uranium and in radioactive heavy metals. In the fission reaction the nucleus get split into equal masses of particles. This process is associated with release of large amount of energy. The fission of radioactive waste can cause deadly mutations in living beings.
