[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.

A car starting from rest (i.e. initial velocity = 0.0 m/s), moves in the positive X-direction with a constant average accelerati
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Final speed of the car, v = 24.49 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial velocity of the car, u = 0

Acceleration, a=3.1\ m/s^2

Time taken, t = 7.9 s

We need to find the final velocity of the car. Let it is given by v. It can be calculated using first equation of motion as :

v=u+at

v=0+3.1\times 7.9

v = 24.49 m/s

So, the final speed of the car is 24.49 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Superman stops a "speeding locomotive" of mass 8.0x103 kg in 4.0 seconds. If the train was originally moving at 40.m/s,
madreJ [45]

Hello!

<em>a) What is the change in momentum</em>?

The change of the momentum is the velocity, because the velocity is reduced to zero.

We can calculate the aceleration, applicating the formula:

\boxed{a=\frac{V-Vi}{t} }

Like you see, the final velocity will be zero, so:

a = \dfrac{0m/s-40m/s}{4s}

a = \dfrac{-40m/s}{4s}

a = -10\ m/s^{2}

Like you see, the aceleration applicate by superman is of <u>-10 m/s^2.</u>

If the aceleration is negattive, means the velocity will decrease.

<em>b.) What is the magnitud of the force wich superman exerts on the train?</em>

For calculate the force applicate for superman, lets applicate the second law of Newton:

\boxed{F=ma}

Lets replace and resolve it:

F = 8x10^3 kg * (-10 m/s^2)

F = 8000 kg * (-10 m/s^2)

F = -80 000 N

The force applicated is of <u>-80000 Newtons.</u>

When the force is negative means the force applicated in the another direction of the object what is traveling.

6. A 2-kg ball B is traveling around in a circle of radius r1 = 1 m with a speed (vB)1 = 2 m/s. If the attached cord is pulled d
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of ball m = 2kg

Ball traveling a radius of r1= 1m.

Speed of ball is Vb = 2m/s

Attached cord pulled down at a speed of Vr = 0.5m/s

Final speed V = 4m/s

Let find the transverse component of the final speed using

V² = Vr²+ Vθ²

4² = 0.5² + Vθ²

Vθ² = 4²—0.5²

Vθ² = 15.75

Vθ =√15.75

Vθ = 3.97 m/s.

Using the conservation of angular momentum,

(HA)1 = (HA)2

Mb • Vb • r1 = Mb • Vθ • r2

Mb cancels out

Vb • r1 = Vθ • r2

2 × 1 = 3.97 × r2

r2 = 2/3.97

r2 = 0.504m

The distance r2 to the hole for the ball to reach a maximum speed of 4m/s is 0.504m

The required time,

Using equation of motion

V = ∆r/t

Then,

t = ∆r/Vr

t = (r1—r2) / Vr

t = (1—0.504) / 0.5

t = 0.496/0.5

t = 0.992 second

An object is transported to three different planets in our solar system. Which of the following is true about that object?
Digiron [165]

<u>Answer;</u>

<em>D.  The object’s weight changes, but its mass stays the same.</em>

<u>Explanation;</u>

  • Mass is the amount of matter in a object, which is measured in kilograms. Mass of an object is measured using a beam balance. It is important to note that the mass of an object or a body remains constant, and does not vary from one place to another. For instance the mass of a person on the moon will be the same as when the person is on the earth surface.
  • Weight on the other hand is the measurement of gravitational pull of an object. weight is measured using a spring balance and measured in Newtons. Weight varies from one place to another depending on the gravitational pull of a given surface.
