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
8 0

(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.

 Why does a child in a wagon seem to fall backward when you give the wagon a sharp pull forward? 15. What force is needed to acc
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Force, F = 77 N

Explanation:

A child in a wagon seem to fall backward when you give the wagon a sharp pull forward. It is due to Newton's third law of motion. The forward pull on wagon is called action force and the backward force is called reaction force. These two forces are equal in magnitude but they acts in opposite direction.

We need to calculate the force is needed to accelerate a sled. It can be calculated using the formula as :

F = m × a

Where

m = mass = 55 kg

a = acceleration = 1.4 m/s²

F=55\ kg\times 1.4\ m/s^2

F = 77 N

So, the force needed to accelerate a sled is 77 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Determine the slope of end a of the cantilevered beam. E = 200 gpa and i = 65. 0(106) mm4
DENIUS [597]

For E = 200 gpa and i = 65. 0(106) mm4,  the slope of end a of the cantilevered beam  is mathematically given as

A=0.0048rads

<h3>What is the slope of end a of the cantilevered beam?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the   is mathematically given as

A=\frac{PL^2}{2EI}+\frac{ML}{EI}

Therefore

A=\frac{10+10^2+3^2}{2*240*10^9*65*10^6}+\frac{10+10^3*3}{240*10^9*65*10^{-6}}

A=0.00288+0.00192=0.0048rads

A=0.0048rads

In conclusion,  the slope is

A=0.0048rads
