If the star Alpha Centauri were moved to a distance 10 times farther than it is now, its parallax angle would

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.

During World War I, the Germans had a gun called Big Bertha that was used to shell Paris. The shell had an initial speed of 2.61
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The shell hit at a distance of 1.9 x 10² km

The time of flight of the shell was 5.3 x 10² s

Explanation:

The position of the shell is given by the vector "r":

r  = (x0 + v0 * t * cos α ; y0 + v0 * t * sin α + 1/2 g t²)

where:

x0 = initial horizontal position

v0 = magnitude of the initial velocity

t = time

α = launching angle

y0 = initial vertical position

g = acceleration of gravity

When the shell hit, the vertical component (ry) of the vector position r is 0. See figure.

Then:

ry = 0 =  y0 + v0 * t * sin α + 1/2 g t²

Since the gun is at the center of our system of reference, y0 and x0 = 0

0 = t (v0 sin α + 1/2 g t)

t= 0 is discarded as solution

v0 sin α + 1/2 g t = 0

t = -2v0 sin α / g

t = (-2 * 2610 m/s * sin 81.9°)/ (-9.8 m/s²) = 5.3 x 10² s. This is the time of flight of the shell until it hit.

Then, the distance at which the shell hit is:

Distance = Module of r = ( x0 + v0 * t * cos α; 0) = x0 + v0 * t * cos α  

Distance = 2.61 km/s * 5.3 x 10² s * cos 81.9 = 1.9 x 10² km

What is the peak emf generated by a 0.250 m radius, 500-turn coil is rotated one-fourth of a revolution in 4.17 ms, originally h
zysi [14]

Complete question:

What is the peak emf generated by a 0.250 m radius, 500-turn coil is rotated one-fourth of a revolution in 4.17 ms, originally having its plane perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field 0.425 T. (This is 60 rev/s.)

Answer:

The peak emf generated by the coil is 15.721 kV

Explanation:

Given;

Radius of coil, r = 0.250 m

Number of turns, N = 500-turn

time of revolution, t = 4.17 ms = 4.17 x 10⁻³ s

magnetic field strength, B = 0.425 T

Induced peak emf = NABω

where;

A is the area of the coil

A = πr²

ω is angular velocity

ω = π/2t = (π) /(2 x 4.17 x 10⁻³) = 376.738 rad/s =  60 rev/s

Induced peak emf = NABω

                               = 500 x (π x 0.25²) x 0.425 x 376.738

                               = 15721.16 V

                               = 15.721 kV

Therefore, the peak emf generated by the coil is 15.721 kV
