For a star with a parallax angle of 1/2 of an at arcsecond, what will be its distance in parsec?

Physics

avanturin [10]3 years ago

(1 parsec) is the distance at which an object has a parallax of 1 arcsecond. The distance is about 3.26 light years.

Another way to understand it is:  The distance from which the Earth's orbit appears 1 arcsecond across.

For a parallax angle of 1/2 arcsecond, the distance is <em>2 parsecs </em>(about 6.52 light years).

1 arcsecond is 1/3600 of a degree, 0.00028 degree.

A yellow train of mass 100 kg is moving at 8 m/s toward an orange train of mass 200 kg traveling in the opposite direction on th
Serhud [2]

The initial momentum of the yellow and the orange train is 1000kgm/s.

Momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of any object.

Momentum is denoted by P.

Momentum P = mv , where m = mass and v = velocity.

<h3>Given:</h3>

Mass of the orange train = 200kg

Velocity of the orange train = 1m/s

So, the momentum of the orange train will be,

                            ∴    P = mv

                                  P = 200 x 1

                                  P = 200 kgm/s

∴   The initial momentum of the orange train is 200kgm/s.

Mass of the yellow train = 100kg

Velocity of the yellow train = 8m/s

So, the momentum of the yellow train will be,

                            ∴    P = mv

                                  P = 100 x 8

                                  P = 800 kgm/s

∴ The initial momentum of the yellow train is 800kgm/s.

Therefore, the initial momentum of the yellow and the orange train is 1000kgm/s.

A guy wire 1034 feet long is attached to the top of a tower. When pulled taut, it touches level ground 699 feet from the base of
kolezko [41]

Answer:

80.386 degrees

Explanation:

We use the cosine equation here (which is the adjacent side of the unknown angle divided by the hypotenuse

The adjacent side = 699ft

The hypotenuse = 1034ft

using cos∅ = Adjacent/hypotenuse

where ∅ is the unknown angle

cos ∅ = 699/1034 = 0.167

∅ = arccos 0.167 = 80.368°

As easy as one can imagine

You're collecting data in BeyondLabz for an object in free fall, subject to air resistance. How do you know when you've collecte
denis23 [38]

Enough data points would have been collected when specific data for upward and downward motion are collected.

<h3>What is a Data point?</h3>

A data point is a discrete unit of information. This information is always unique.

<h3>Free fall</h3>

An object subjected to free fall is under the influence of gravity. An object subjected has different time of motion for upward and downward motion.

Thus, we can conclude that enough data points would have been collected when specific data for upward and downward motion are collected.
