Yes, parallax affects the precision of a measurement that you make. It introduces an error in the order of the parallax. It will cause the measurement to be different from the real answer. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Parallax is the effect caused when there is an error in observing a reading. This is caused due to the variation of line of sight of the observer.

Precision refers to the variability of the readings being taken. If the readings are close to one another then the readings are precise and if the readings are not close to one another then the readings are not precise.

Parallax may cause the readings not to close therefore affecting the precision.

The smallest shift you can reliably measure on the screen is about 0.2 grid units. This shift corresponds to the precision of po
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

The distance is  d = 1.5 *10^{15} \ km

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

        The smallest shift is d = 0.2 \ grid \ units

Generally a grid unit is  \frac{1}{10} of  an arcsec

  This implies that  0.2 grid unit is  k =  \frac{0.2}{10} = 0.02  \  arc sec

The maximum distance at which a star can be located and still have a measurable parallax is mathematically represented as

           d =  \frac{1}{k}

substituting values

           d =  \frac{1}{0.02}

           d = 50 \ parsec

Note  1 \ parsec  \ \to 3.26 \ light \ year \ \to 3.086*10^{13} \ km

So  d = 50 * 3.08 *10^{13}

     d = 1.5 *10^{15} \ km

Type the correct answer in the box. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Calculate the man’s mass. (Use PE = m × g × h
Blababa [14]

Answer:

56 kg

Explanation:

The change in potential energy of the man is given by:

\Delta U = mg \Delta h

where

m is the man's mass

g is the gravitational acceleration

\Delta h is the change in height of the man

In this problem, we have:

\Delta U=4620 J is the gain in potential energy

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration

\Delta h=8.4 m is the change in height

Re-arranging the equation and substituting the numbers, we find the mass:

m=\frac{\Delta U}{g\Delta h}=\frac{4620 J}{(9.8 m/s^2)(8.4 m)}=56 kg

dem82 [27]

Answer:

The method to determine whether a string contains a value that can be converted to a specific data type before it is converted to that data type

Explanation:

The Java string includes () method to check whether a particular sequence of character is the part of given sub string or not.

One string contain another string in Java or not.

The indexof() to check the string and substring in java

Hence java string include () method to check  whether a string contains a value that can be converted to a specific data type before it is converted to that data type
