Masja [62]3 years ago

Answer:

L = m v r (The momentum remains constant)

Explanation:

Even in an ellipsoidal orbit, the law of conservation of angular momentum always apply. When the plant approached the perihelion, the radius of the orbit decreases and the speed of the star increases to conserve the momentum. Similarly, when the planet approaches the aphelion, the speed of the star decreases as the radius increases to conserve the momentum. So, the momentum at a particular instant can be calculated by L = m v r

Astronomers know that the distance between the Earth and the Sun averages 1.50 x108 km. How can astronomers use the observed ste
rodikova [14]

Answer:

The distance of stars and the earth can be averagely measured by using the knowledge of geometry to estimate the stellar parallax angle(p).

From the equation below, the stars distances can be calculated.

D = 1/p

Distance = 1/(parallax angle)

Stellar parallax can be used to determine the distance of stars from an observer, on the surface of the earth due to the motion of the observer. It is the relative or apparent angular displacement of the star, due to the displacement of the observer.

Explanation:

Parallax is the observed apparent change in the position of an object resulting from a change in the position of the observer. Specifically, in the case of astronomy it refers to the apparent displacement of a nearby star as seen from an observer on Earth.

The parallax of an object can be used to approximate the distance to an object using the formula:

D = 1/p

Where p is the parallax angle observed using geometry and D is the actual distance measured in parsecs. A parsec is defined as the distance at which an object has a parallax of 1 arcsecond. This distance is approximately 3.26 light years

A charge of 8.4 × 10–4 C moves at an angle of 35° to a magnetic field that has a field strength of 6.7 × 10–3 T.
sineoko [7]

Answer:10842.33m/s

Explanation:

F=qvBsine

V=f/(qBsine)

V=(3.5×10^-2)÷(8.4×10^-4×6.7×10^-3×sin35)

V=10842.33m/s

An object is moving across a surface, but it is not gain or lose speed. Which best describes the objects force?
raketka [301]

Answer:

Gravity. An object is moving across a surface, but it does not gain or lose speed.

Explanation:

The basic idea. Physicists see gravity as one of the four fundamental forces that govern the universe, alongside electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces.
