[OU.03] What is the best method to increase the accuracy of the parallax measurement of star distances?

Physics
1 answer:
Korolek [52]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: Trigonometric or Stellar Parallax

Explanation:

Whenever a star is too far away to measure its parallax, astronomers do match its color and spectrum to one of the standard candles and determine its intrinsic brightness.

Comparing this to its apparent brightness, they can get a good measure of its distance by applying the 1/r^2 rule.

Astronomers estimate the distance  of nearby objects in space by using a method called stellar parallax, or trigonometric parallax. They measure a star's apparent movement against the background of more distant stars as Earth revolves around the sun.

You are making a circular turn in your car on a horizontal road when you hit a big patch of ice, causing the force of friction b
adell [148]

Answer:

c

Explanation:

The car travels with centripetal acceleration which is directed to the center of the circle but the velocity is changing since the car faces different direction as it travels in the circular direction. When the friction is zero between the tires of the car and the road, it will continue in the direction of its tangential velocity which will be along a straight-line path in its original direction.

A 95 kg clock initially at rest on a horizontal floor
Nataly [62]

Answer:

You are given that the mass of the clock M is 95 kg.

This is true whether the clock is in motion or not.

Fs is the frictional force required to keep the clock from moving.

Thus Fk = uk W = uk M g      the force required to move clock at constant speed.     (the kinetic frictional force)

uk = 560 N / 931 N = .644   since the weight of the clock is 931 N  (95 * 9.8)

us  is the frictional force requited to start the clock moving

us = static frictional force = 650 / 931 -= .698

Para abrir una puerta se comprime un resorte y, por defecto de este, la puerta se cierra automáticamente. ¿Qué forma de energía
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

El resorte al comprimirse adquiere energía potencial elástica.

Explanation:

Por conservación de la energía, y si no hay agentes externos (como pérdida de energía por rozamiento), la energía cinética que proviene del movimiento de la puerta al abrirse se transfiere al resorte en forma de energía potencial elástica cuando el resorte se comprime.

En el proceso de descompresión ocurre lo contrario, es decir, la energía potencial elástica del resorte se transforma en energía cinética que es transferida a la puerta para cerrarse.      

Por lo tanto, el resorte al comprimirse adquiere energía potencial elástica.

A block floats partially submerged in a container of liquid. When the entire container is accelerated upward, which of the follo
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:C

Explanation:

Partially submerged block along with vessel is accelerated upwards .

Initially the block weight is supported by buoyant force such that it is in equilibrium.

when the system start accelerating upwards then the effective gravity will be

g+a where a is the acceleration of the system.

so only net gravity is increased so block will not ascend or descend.

Mathematically

F_b=weight

\rho _L\cdot V\cdot (g+a)=m(g+a)

where \rho _L=density of liquid

V=volume of object inside the water
