Vega, the brightest star in the constellation lyra, has a parallax angle of approximately 0.13 arcseconds. approximately how far
Ivahew [28]

Vega, the brightest star in the constellation lyra, has a parallax angle of approximately 0.13 arcseconds,  approximately  Vega will be 25.076 Light year or 7.692 Parsec away from the sun

The parallax angle is the angle between the Earth at one time of year, and the Earth six months later, as measured from a nearby star.

Mathematically it can be understood as that the parallax angle is the angle which is taken from a point at one time on the earth and again after six months later from the same point on the earth. The parallax angle is the semi-angle of inclination between the two lines to sight.

Stellar parallax is the basis for the parsec, which is the distance from the Sun to an astronomical object that has a parallax angle of one arcsecond.

Distance (in parsec) = 1 / (parallax angle ( arcsec))

given

parallax angle = 0.13 arcseconds

Distance (in parsec) = 1/ 0.13 = 7.692 Parsec

if 1 Parsec = 3.26 Light year

So, 7.692 Parsec will be equal to =  3.26 * 7.692 = 25.076 Light year

                                                        ≈ 25.076 Light year

4. A trolley of mass 2kg rests next to a trolley of mass 3 kg on a flat
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

a. The total momentum of the trolleys which are at rest before the separation is zero

b. The total momentum of the trolleys after separation is zero

c. The momentum of the 2 kg trolley after separation is 12 kg·m/s

d. The momentum of the 3 kg trolley is -12 kg·m/s

e. The velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -4 m/s

Explanation:

a. The total momentum of the trolleys which are at rest before the separation is zero

b. By the principle of the conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of the trolleys after separation = The total momentum of the trolleys before separation = 0

c. The momentum of the 2 kg trolley after separation = Mass × Velocity = 2 kg × 6 m/s = 12 kg·m/s

d. Given that the total momentum of the trolleys after separation is zero, the momentum of the 3 kg trolley is equal and opposite to the momentum of the 2 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s

e. The momentum of the 3 kg trolley = Mass of the 3 kg Trolley × Velocity of the 3 kg trolley

∴ The momentum of the 3 kg trolley = 3 kg × Velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s

The velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s/(3 kg) = -4 m/s

A 200 g piece of iron is heated to 100°C. It is then dropped into water to bring its temperature down to 22°C. What is the amoun
Amiraneli [1.4K]
The piece of iron is brought from a temperature of 100C to a temperature of 22C. In this process, the heat released by this piece of iron is
Q=m C_s \Delta T
where m=200 g is the mass of the piece of iron, C_s = 0.444 J/(g C) is the iron's specific heat, and the temperature variation is \Delta T = 22^{\circ}-100^{\circ}=-78^{\circ}C. Using these values, the amount of heat released by the iron is
Q=(200 g)(0.441 J/(gC))(-78C)=-6926J=-6.9 kJ
With negative sign because it is amount of heat released. This heat is then trasferred to the water, so the amount of heat absorbed by the water is Q=6.9 kJ.

adell [148]

As per Newton's law of cooling we know that

\frac{\Delta T}{dt} = k(T_avg - T_s)

in 5 hours the body temperature becomes 79.6 from 84.4

while the surrounding temperature is given as 68 degree F

now from above formula

\frac{84.4 - 79.6}{5} = k (\frac{84.4 + 79.6}{2} - 68)

0.96 = k(14)

now let say the person died "t" time ago

now we will have

\frac{98.6 - 84.4}{t} = k (\frac{98.6 + 84.4}{2} - 68)

\frac{14.2}{t} = k(23.5)

\frac{14.2}{t} = \frac{0.96}{14}(23.5)

t = 8.8 hours = 9hours (approx)

so he died at approx 5 Am in  morning
