The smallest shift you can reliably measure on the screen is about 0.2 grid units. This shift corresponds to the precision of po

sitions measured with the best Earth-based optical telescopes. If you cannot measure an angle smaller than this, what is the maximum distance at which a star can be located and still have a measurable parallax

Answer:

The distance is  d = 1.5 *10^{15} \ km

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

        The smallest shift is d = 0.2 \ grid \ units

Generally a grid unit is  \frac{1}{10} of  an arcsec

  This implies that  0.2 grid unit is  k =  \frac{0.2}{10} = 0.02  \  arc sec

The maximum distance at which a star can be located and still have a measurable parallax is mathematically represented as

           d =  \frac{1}{k}

substituting values

           d =  \frac{1}{0.02}

           d = 50 \ parsec

Note  1 \ parsec  \ \to 3.26 \ light \ year \ \to 3.086*10^{13} \ km

So  d = 50 * 3.08 *10^{13}

     d = 1.5 *10^{15} \ km

What is entropy and how is it related to string theory?
balu736 [363]

Answer:

Explanation:

String theory proposes that the fundamental constituents of the universe are one-dimensional “strings” rather than point-like particles. String theory also requires six or seven extra dimensions of space, and it contains ways of relating large extra dimensions to small ones. In statistical mechanics, entropy is an extensive property of a thermodynamic system. It quantifies the number Ω of microscopic configurations that are consistent with the macroscopic quantities that characterize the system theyre related  It later developed into superstring theory, which posits a connection called supersymmetry between bosons and the class of particles called fermions. Five consistent versions of superstring theory were developed before it was conjectured in the mid-1990s that they were all different limiting cases of a single theory in 11 dimensions known as M-theory. In late 1997, theorists discovered an important relationship called the AdS/CFT correspondence, which relates string theory to another type of physical theory called a quantum field theory.

The velocity of a car doubles over a short period of time. Which additional information is sufficient to determine the amount of
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Time and velocity

Explanation:

The time taken for the velocity to double is very important to find the amount of acceleration the car acquires.

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.

  Acceleration  = \frac{v -u}{t}

v is the initial velocity

u is the final velocity

t is the time taken

 So, the velocity and time is needed to calculate the value of the acceleration the car undergoes.

Hope this helps! Have a wonderfully wonderful day!

Cheers mate!
