What is astrometry? What is astrometry? measuring the positions of stars on the sky using metric units for distance (e.g. meters

rather than light years) measuring distances to stars measuring the velocities of stars via the Doppler effect searching for planets around stars

Explanation:

It is a branch of astronomy wherein measurements of the positions and movements of celestial bodies are precisely are made.  

For the measurement, minute wobbling of the position of the body is detected. When the shift is detected periodically, the astronomers  come to know that the star is orbited by a planet.  

Also, basic data about the properties of the stars can be collected using this method.

Cars A and B are racing each other along the same straight road in the following manner: Car A has a head start and is a distanc
4vir4ik [10]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Cars A nad B are racing each other along the same straight road in the following manner: Car A has a head start and is a distance D_{A} beyond the starting line at t = 0. The starting line is at x = 0. Car A travels at a constant speed v_{A}. Car B starts at the starting line but has a better engine than Car A and thus Car B travels at a constant speed v_{B}, which is greater than v_{A}.

Part A: How long after Car B started the race will Car B catch up with Car A? Express the time in terms of given quantities.

Part B: How far from Car B's starting line will the cars be when Car B passes Car A? Express your answer in terms of known quantities.

Answer: Part A: t=\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}

              Part B: x_{B}=\frac{v_{B}D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}

Explanation: First, let's write an equation of motion for each car.

Both cars travels with constant speed. So, they are an uniform rectilinear motion and its position equation is of the form:

x=x_{0}+vt

where

x_{0} is initial position

v is velocity

t is time

Car A started the race at a distance. So at t = 0, initial position is D_{A}.

The equation will be:

x_{A}=D_{A}+v_{A}t

Car B started at the starting line. So, its equation is

x_{B}=v_{B}t

Part A: When they meet, both car are at "the same position":

D_{A}+v_{A}t=v_{B}t

v_{B}t-v_{A}t=D_{A}

t(v_{B}-v_{A})=D_{A}

t=\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}

Car B meet with Car A after t=\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}} units of time.

Part B: With the meeting time, we can determine the position they will be:

x_{B}=v_{B}(\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}} )

x_{B}=\frac{v_{B}D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}

Since Car B started at the starting line, the distance Car B will be when it passes Car A is x_{B}=\frac{v_{B}D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}} units of distance.

An experimental tungsten light bulb filament has a length of 5 cm and a diameter of 0.074 cm. The filament is basically just a w
adell [148]

Answer:

power emitted is 1.75 W

Explanation:

given data

length l = 5 cm = 5 ×10^{-2} m

diameter d = 0.074 cm = 74 ×10^{-5} m

total filament emissivity = 0.300

temperature = 3068 K

to find out

power emitted

solution

we find first area that is π×d×L

area = π×d×L

area = π×74 ×10^{-5}×5 ×10^{-2}

area = 1162.3892  ×10^{-5} m²

so here power emitted  is express as

power emitted  = E × σ × area × (temperature)^4

put here all value

power emitted  = 0.300× 5.67 × 1162.3892  ×10^{-5}  × (3068)^4

power emitted = 1.75 W

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

5000 m³

Explanation:

density = mass / volume

mass = density × volume

mass = 1000 × 5

mass = 5000 ( kg )
