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

Physics

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.

A pendulum of length L is suspended from the ceiling of an elevator. When the elevator is at rest the period of the pendulum is
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the pendulum falls freely the net acceleration due to gravity is zero.

As we know that the time period of simple pendulum is inversely proportional to the square root of acceleration due to gravity, thus the time period becomes infinity.

A car is running at a velocity of 50 miles/hour and the driver accelerates the car by 10miles/hour.How far the car travels from
dezoksy [38]
Initial velocity u = 50 miles/hour
acceleration a = 10 miles/hour
Time t = 2 hours
Distance travelled S = ut + (at^2)/2
Substituting the values in the second equation of motion,
S = 50*2 + (10 * 2 *2)/2
S = 100 + 20
S = 120 miles
Therefore the distance travelled by the car in the next two hours is 120 miles

1<br> Verify the identity. Show your work.<br><br> cot θ ∙ sec θ = csc θ
Fittoniya [83]
To verify the identity, we can make use of the basic trigonometric identities:
cot θ = cos θ / sin θ 
sec θ = 1 / cos <span>θ
csc </span>θ = 1 / sin θ<span>

Using these identities:
</span>cot θ ∙ sec θ = (cos θ / sin θ ) (<span> 1 / cos </span><span>θ)
</span>
We can cancel out cos <span>θ, leaving us with
</span>cot θ ∙ sec θ = 1 / sin θ
cot θ ∙ sec θ = = csc <span>θ</span>
