Answer:

B. get smaller

Explanation:

The parallax angle of a star measured with respect to the Earth is inversely proportional to the distance of the star from the Earth:

\theta = \frac{1}{d}

where

\theta is the parallax angle, measured in arcsec

d is the distance between the star and the Earth, measured in parsec

Therefore, if the star Alpha Centauri is moved farther from Earth, then d increases, and therefore the parallax angle will get smaller.

A scientist found a new bacteria in a hot water sulfur spring that uses sulfur as a source of energy instead sunlight. What kind
Sergio039 [100]
Chemosynthetic bacteria or chemoautotropic bacteria is the new bacteria that was found by scientists in a hot water sulfur spring that uses sulfur as a source of energy instead of sunlight. This kind of bacteria can survive at a higher temperature than most organisms can.The bacteria uses the toxic hydrogen sulfide to produce organic materials by the process of chemosynthesis. These bacteria are a source of life for several other organisms that flourish in such conditions. The bacteria grows and forms a thick mat and this attracts several other organisms as the bacteria becomes a source of food.

A wood block is sliding up a wood ramp. if the ramp is very steep, the block will reverse direction at its highest point and sli
DanielleElmas [232]
<span>Answer: So it gets to the top of the ramp and stops. The parallel force pushing it down the ramp is mg sin θ, but for it to move, the frictional force must be overcome. This frictional force is μmg cos θ, where μ is the coefficient of static friction. For movement, then, mg sin θ > μmg cos θ ==> tan θ > μ ==> θ > arctan 0.5 = 26.565° ==> θ = 27°</span>

A single brick falls with acceleration g. The reason a double brick falls with the same acceleration is
LekaFEV [45]

The reason is because the force due to the acceleration from gravity is constant. It's the same as the typical "dropping a bowling ball and feather (with no air resistance) at the same time". Gravity acts on all object with the same acceleration regardless of physical properties.

Derive the formula 2as=v² -u² where the formula have have usual meanings
attashe74 [19]

Answer:The main formula is v² = u² + 2as

Explanation:

S=½(u +v)t

t = v+u/a

S=½(v-u)(v+u/a)

S=½v²+uv-uv-u²/a

2as=v²-u²
