Answer:
Option C
C. It is the slight back-and-forth shifting of star positions that occurs as we view the stars from different positions in Earth's orbit of the Sun.
Explanation:
The angle due to the change in position of a nearby object against the background stars it is known as parallax.
The parallax angle can be used to find out the distance by means of triangulation. Making a triangle between the nearby star, the Sun and the Earth(as is shown in the image below), knowing that the distance between the Earth and the Sun (150000000 Km) is defined as 1 astronomical unit.
(1)
Equation (1) represents the distance in a unit known as parsec (pc).
Key terms:
Parsec: Parallax of arc second
Answer:
Acceleration of the platform = - 1.8 m/s²
Explanation:
The net force acting on a body accelerates the body in the same direction as that in which the resultant is applied.
Writing the force balance for the setup,
ma = 800 - mg
100a = 800 - 100×9.8
100a = - 180
100a = - 180
a = - 1.8 m/s²
This means the body falls downwards.
