The distance to the other planets in the Solar System from the Earth depends on where they are in their orbit. The closest that

Mars gets to the Earth is 0.5 AU. At this time it is observed to have an angular diameter of 18 arcseconds. The furthest it gets from Earth is 2.5 AU. What would its angular diameter be for this observation

Answer:

3.6 arcsec

Explanation:

 angular diameter = diameter / distance

diameter is constant

so angular diameter ∝ 1 / distance

angular diameter = k / distance

For first case ,

18 = k / .5

for second case let angular diameter be D .

D = k / 2.5

dividing ,

D / 18 = .5 / 2.5 = 1 / 5

D = 18 / 5 = 3.6 arcsec

3.6 arcsec is the answer .

How much force is needed to accelerate a 2500kg car at a rate of 4m/s2​
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

10,000 N

Explanation:

Using Newton's Second Law of Motion, Force = Mass*Acceleration.

Plugin 2500 kg for the mass and 4 m/s^2 for the acceleration.

Force = 2500 kg*4 m/s^2 = 10000 Newtons

(SI unit of force is Newtons)

What is pitch related to in terms of sound? Does it affect the speed? If so, how?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Pitch is the impression the listener gets of the <em>frequency</em> of the sound.

The speed of the sound is <em>not</em> related to its pitch/frequency.  

If the speed and frequency were related, that would be a real problem.  Bands, orchestras, and choirs could not exist !  All the instruments in the orchestra could play a note together, at the same time.  But then the higher instruments ... the flute, trumpet, violins, high guitar strings and high piano keys ... would travel to you fast, and the lower instruments ... the trombone, tuba, double bass, bass drum, low guitar strings and the low piano keys ... would travel to you slow.  They all played the note at the same time, but by the time you heard it, it would be all smeared out ... every instrument arriving at your ear at a different time !

What is the difference in the positioning of the Sun, Earth and moon for a lunar eclipse versus a full moon?
Lady bird [3.3K]

When the Moon passes between Sun and Earth, the lunar shadow is seen as a solar eclipse on Earth. When Earth passes directly between Sun and Moon, its shadow creates a lunar eclipse. Lunar eclipses can only happen when the Moon is opposite the Sun in the sky, a monthly occurrence we know as a full Moon.
