Answer:

Star A is closer than Star B

Explanation:

As we know that in parallax method of distance measurement the angle subtended by the star when it covers a distance of one Parsec arc length, it is known as parallax angle

Here we can say

angle = \frac{1 Parsec}{distance}

so we have

distance = \frac{1 Parsec}{angle}

so here we have

angle subtended by Star A = 1 arc sec

angle subtended by star B = 0.75 arc sec

now we have

distance for star A is given as

d_a = \frac{1 Parsec}{1} = 1 Parsec

distance of star B is given as

d_b = \frac{1 Parsec}{0.75} = 1.33 Parsec

So star A is closer than star B

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

18.03 N

Explanation:

From the fiqure below,

Using parallelogram law of vector

R² = 15²+5²-2×5×15cos(180-60)

R² = 225+25-150cos120°

R² = 250-150(-0.5)

R² = 250+75

R² = 325

R = √325

R = 18.03 N

Hence the resultant force of the object is 18.03 N

A charged particle moves at 2.5 × 104 m/s at an angle of 25° to a magnetic field that has a field strength of 8.1 × 10–2 T. If t
nekit [7.7K]

the magnitude of charge=q=8.76 x 10⁻⁵C

Explanation:

the magnetic force Fm is given by

Fm= q V B sinθ

q= charge

v= velocity= 2.5 x 10⁴ m/s

B= magnetic field strength= 8.1 x 10⁻²T

Fm= magnetic force= 7.5 x 10⁻² N

θ=25°

so 7.5 x 10⁻² =q (2.5 x 10⁴ ) (8.1 x 10⁻²) sin25

q=8.76 x 10⁻⁵C

Will the velocity of the book change as it moves across the surface with NO friction? Explain your answer.
MakcuM [25]

No velocity will not be changed

Why?

According to Newtons 1st law the velocity of a moving object remains unchanged unless a external force affect that.
