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

Indicate whether the statement is true or false. A force can be simply defined as a push or a pull.
Sidana [21]
This B: False, because the definition is lacking.  

Force is when two objects interact with one another causing it to either move or not move. In our daily lives there are a lot of times force is exerted upon us, rather force is everywhere and here are the evidences:  

*Pushing a cart
*Pushing a wall
*Hitting a baseball bat
*Apple falling down from a tree.
*Balls hitting one another
*A swinging pendulum
*Throwing a paper with stone above it
*Breaking of glass in the floor
*Falling of leaves on the grass <span> </span>

1. The geologic time scale divides time into years and centuries, true or false
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The answer is "False"

Explanation:

The geologic time scale is the "schedule" for occasions in Earth history. It partitions time into named units of unique time called in descending order of duration "eons, eras, periods, epochs, and ages". The specification of those geologic time units depends on stratigraphy, which is the relationship and order of rock layers. The fossil structures that happen in the stones, nonetheless, give the central methods for setting up a geologic time scale, with the circumstance of the development and vanishing of far and wide species from the fossil record being used to outline the beginnings and endings of ages,, periods, and different stretches.

Geologic time is the broad time period involved by the geologic history of Earth. Formal geologic time starts toward the beginning of the Archean Eon (4.0 billion to 2.5 billion years back) and proceeds to the current day.

Solve for y<br>11=y/3+7​
butalik [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

11 = y/3+7

collecting like terms

11 - 7 = y/3

4 = y/3

multiplying both sides by 3 gives us

12 = y

therefore

y = 12
