If a weight hanging on a string of length 5 feet swings through 5^\circ on either side of the vertical, how long is the arc thro

Zielflug [23.3K]

<span>First we can find the circumference of the whole circle with a radius of 5 feet. circumference = 2 pi radius circumference = (2 pi) (5 feet) circumference = (10 pi) feet From one high point to the other high point, the string moves through an angle of 10 degrees. Since a full circle is 360 degrees, this angle is 1/36 of a full circle. Therefore, the arc length is 1/36 of the whole circumference. arc length = (1/36) (circumference) arc length = (1/36) (10 pi) feet arc length = 0.873 feet</span>

Solve -7= sqrt 2x-9

Sauron [17]

Answer:

x = 2

Explanation:

if it was -7 = the square root of both 2x-9 together, it would be false.

if it was square root of just 2x in the equation, the answer is:

x = 2

°°°°°°°°°

-7 = √2x - 9

-√2x = -9 + 7

√-2x = -2

√2x = 2

2x = 4

x = 2

If stellar parallax can be measured to a precision of about 0.01 arcsec using telescopes on the Earth to observe stars, to what

marin [14]

Answer:

It corresponds to a distance of 100 parsecs away from Earth.

Explanation:

The angle due to the change in position of a nearby object against the background stars it is known as parallax.

It is defined in a analytic way as it follows:

$\tan{p} = \frac{1AU}{d}$

Where d is the distance to the star.

$p('') = \frac{1}{d}$ (1)

Equation (1) can be rewritten in terms of d:

$d(pc) = \frac{1}{p('')}$ (2)

Equation (2) represents the distance in a unit known as parsec (pc).

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 (1AU).

For the case of ( $p('') = 0.01$ ):

$d(pc) = \frac{1}{0.01}$

$d(pc) = 100$

Hence, it corresponds to a distance of 100 parsecs away from Earth.

<em>Summary:</em>

Notice how a small parallax angle means that the object is farther away.

Key terms:

Parsec: Parallax of arc second
