Answer : Parallax

Explanation :

The difference in the position of an object when viewed from different points is called Parallax.  

The principle of parallax is used by the astronomers to find the distance of a planet or a star from earth.

A baseline of 1 astronomical unit is used by astronomers to find the distance between the stars and the earth.  Also, they measured tiny angles in arcseconds.

By doing calculations they found the distance of a star from earth is about 93 million miles or 150 million kilometers.

So, the correct option is (C).

A straight section of silver wire has a cross sectional area A=2.0 mm2. A total of 9.4×1018 electrons pass through the wire in 3
Sergio [31]

Answer:

8.08 x 10^-5 m

Explanation:

A = 2 mm^2 = 2 x 10^-6 m^2

Total number of electrons, N = 9.4 x 10^18

time, t = 3 s

n = 5.8 x 10^28 electrons/ m^3

Current, i = Q / t = N x e / t = (9.4 x 10^18 x 1.6 x 10^-19) / 3 = 0.5 A

Let vd be the drift velocity.

i = n e A vd

0.5 = 5.8 x 10^28 x 1.6 x 10^-19 x 2 x 10^-6 x vd

vd = 2.7 x 10^-5 m/s

Distance traveled by the electrons = velocity x time

                                                          = vd x t = 2.7 x 10^-5 x 3 = 8.08 x 10^-5 m

An airplane has a starting velocity of 300m/s. It then accelerates at a rate of 45m/s2 for a time of 10s. What is it's final vel
Olenka [21]
A = (v - u) / t

a = acceleration
v = final velocity
u = initial velocity
t = time

45 = (v - 300) / 10

45 × 10 = v - 300

450 + 300 = v

v = 750 m/s

Hope this helps!

P.S. Let me know if you need an explanation
