<span>d. The parallaxes beyond a few thousand light years are
too small to be measured with common instruments.
I'm not sure that parallax can even be used out to a few
thousand light years.
The NEAREST star to Earth has the BIGGEST parallax.
The star is Alpha Centauri. It's only 4 light years away
from us, and its parallax is 0.000206 of a degree !
I have no idea how astronomers can measure angles
so small ... and that's the BIGGEST parallax angle of
ANY star.</span>
When a vehicle without traction control attempts to accelerate on a slippery surface like ice, snow, or loose gravel, the wheels are liable to slip. The result of wheel slip is that the tires spin quickly on the surface of the road without gaining any actual grip, so the vehicle does not accelerate.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that,
The Camden holds a volume of
V = 2,000,000 gallons
At a height of
h = 24 m
We want to find the potential energy.
And potential energy can be calculated using
P.E = mgh
Where
m is the mass
g Is the acceleration due to gravity
h Is the height.
Given that,
Then volume is
V = 2,000,000 gallons
From research.
1 gallon ≈ 3.785 kg
Then,
2,000,000 gallons = 2,000,000 × 3.785 kg
So,
P.E = mgh
P.E = 2,000,000 × 3.785 × 9.81 × 24
P.E = 1.782 × 10^9 J.
