Answer:

1. B) Parallax

3. D) Apparent brightness and distance to the star

4. A) Red giant

5. B) Blue

Explanation:

1. In order to measure the distance to a nearby star, astronomers use parallax method. In this method, parallax angle is measured. The star appears to move against a fixed background when viewed from two different position of Earth in its orbit.

d=\frac{1}[p}

where, <em>d</em> is the distance in parsecs and <em>p</em> is the parallax angle in arc-second.

2. Luminosity of a star is the energy emitted by a star's surface. It measured in watts. In order to measure the luminosity of a star, apparent brightness (b) and distance to the star (d) is required. Following formula can be used to measure the luminosity of a star:

L = 4\pi d^2b

3. The H-R diagram is the plot of stars based on their luminosity, color and temperature. In the upper right of the H-R diagram, red giants are located. These are the cool and bright stars. An average mass star like the sun expands and becomes a red giant when it runs off its fuel before ending up as a white dwarf.

4. Color of a star indicated its surface temperature. A star emits different wavelengths but a peak wavelength can be observed from its spectrum which indicates the star's effective temperature. So, cool stars are red in color where as hot and bright stars are blue in color.

Two pieces of amber are hung from threads. Piece A is charged by rubbing piece A with fur. Piece B is charged by rubbing piece B
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

ieces A and B must also have the same type of charges

Explanation:

In electrostatics, charges of the same sign repel and charges of different signs attract.

If we apply this to our case, we have that part A and C repel each other, therefore they have the same type of charge.

Also part A and C repel each other, therefore they have the same type of charge.

If we use the transitive property of mathematics, pieces A and B must also have the same type of charges

What is the minimum runway length that will serve? hint: you can solve this problem using ratios without having any additional i
ehidna [41]

There are many factors that determine if an aircraft can operate from a given airport. Of course the availability of certain services, such as fuel, access to air stairs and maintenance are all necessary. But before considering anything else, one must determine if the plane can physically land at an airport, and equally as important, take off.

What is the minimum runway length that will serve?

Looking at aerial views of runways can lead some to the assumption that they are all uniform, big and appropriate for any plane to land. This couldn’t be further from the truth.

A given aircraft type has its own individual set of requirements in regards to these dimensions. The classic 150’ wide runway that can handle a wide-body plane for a large group charter flight isn’t a guarantee at every airport. Knowing the width of available runways is important for a variety of reasons including runway illusion and crosswind condition.

Runways also have different approach categories based on width, and have universal threshold markings that indicate the actual width.

How does a solenoid convert energy from one form to another?​
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

A solenoid is a device comprised of a coil of wire, the housing and a moveable plunger (armature). When an electrical current is introduced, a magnetic field forms around the coil which draws the plunger in. More simply, a solenoid converts electrical energy into mechanical work.

Explanation:

The coil is made of many turns of tightly wound copper wire. When an electrical current flows through this wire, a strong magnetic field/flux is created.

The housing, usually made of iron or steel, surrounds the coil concentrating the magnetic field generated by the coil.

The plunger is attracted to the stop through the concentration of the magnetic field providing the mechanical force to do work.
