Answer:

Betelgeuse is 640 light years away from earth.

Explanation:

A light-year is an astronomical unit to measure the distance the light travels in a calendar year.

If the light from a star takes 640 years to reach us, then that star its 640ly away from us.

Betelgeuse has been labeled as a Variant Star, which means that its brightness can fluctuate over the course of years, this has made difficult for astronomers to measure the exact distance of the star. Right now the star is estimated to be around 613 and 881ly away from earth, although, for the sake of your second question, we will take 640 years as our estimated value.

In 1380 (640 years ago) the Battle of Kulikovo took place. A battle of remarkable importance to Russian history, in which the Russian army, led by Prince Dmitry of Moscow, defeated the Mongol army, defining a turning point in the Mongol dominance, and setting the bases for what Russia is today.

5. An acrobat, starting from rest, swings freely on a trapeze of
34kurt

The energy conservation and trigonometry we can find the results for the questions about the movement of the acrobat are;

     a) The maximum speed is v = 4.89 m / s

     b) The maximum height is h = 1.22 m

The energy conservation is one of the most fundamental principles of physics, stable that if there are no friction forces the mechanistic energy remains constant. Mechanical energy is the sum of the kinetic energy plus the potential energies.

               Em = K + U

Let's write the energy in two points.

Starting point. Highest part of the oscillation

            Em₀ = U = m g h

Final point. Lower part of the movement

            Em_f = K = ½ m v²

Energy is conserved.

            Emo = Em_f  

            m g h = ½ m v²

            v² = 2 gh

Let's use trigonometry to find the height, see attached.

         h = L - L cos θ

         h = L (1- cos θ)

They indicate that the initial angle is tea = 48º and the length is L = 3.7 m, let's calculate.

         h = 3.7 (1- cos 48)

          h = 1.22 m

this  is the maximum height of the movement.

Let's calculate the velocity.  

          v= \sqrt{2 \ 9.8 \ 1.22}  

          v = 4.89 m / s

In conclusion using the conservation of energy and trigonometry we can find the results for the questions about the movement of the acrobat are;

     a) The maximum speed is v = 4.89 m / s

     b) The maximum height is h = 1.22 m

1. What is the bond angle between the hydrogen atoms in an ammonia (NH3) molecule? 2. What is the bond angle between the oxygen
Klio2033 [76]

The answer is 107 degrees. The geometric shape for ammonia is Trigonal Pyramidal, even though its electron geometry is “Tetrahedral”. This is because ammonia has a lone pair of electrons that occupy its space like the other 3 hydrogens in the geometric structure.

The answer 180 degrees. This is because of the linear geometric structure of carbon dioxide. The oxygen atom is on either side of the carbon atom, each is bound by a double covalent bond. All the atoms are involved in the bond and there are no one pair electrons.

The answer is tetrahedral geometry. This is because all the 4 valence electrons of the carbon are involved in a bond with a hydrogen atom. The angles in a tetrahedral geometric arrangement, such as in methane, is 109.5 degrees, where the hydrogen atoms are as far apart, from each other, as possible .
