The search for black holes has so far turned up some fairly convincing stellar-sized candidates in binary star systems. What obs
ozzi

Answer:

Th similarities between the black hole and the neutron star is that they are formed from dead (dying) starts. But they come from different parent stars, if the parent star is 1.4 times the mass of the sun, a neutron star will be formed, but if the parent star is twice the mass of the sun a black hole is formed.

Explanation:

A black hole is defined as an area of space whereby the matter is so compacted that nothing can escape from it. This area is called <em>event horizon. </em>Black holes are formed when an enormous star dies in z supernova. They weigh at least twice the sun's mass, and their mass is directly proportional to their radii.

Neutron stars are created during supernova and maintained by a neutron called <em>degeneracy pressure.</em> Neutron star has a small radius, typically 30 km, with a very high density made up of compacted neutrons.

How has human geography prevented the Israelis and Palestinians from reaching the "up Herstanding" that Emerson cites as necessa
stich3 [128]

Answer:

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a dispute between the State of Israel, established in 1948, and the Palestinian Arabs, as part of a wider animosity between Israel and the Arab world. The controversy has continued since then and concerns the existence of the state of Israel, its borders, and Jewish-Arab relations in the area between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River. The foundations of the establishment of the Jewish state date back to the 19th century, when the emerging Zionist movement began to encourage the migration of Jews to the territory of present-day Israel in order to establish their own state in the historical homeland of the Jews.

A solution to the conflict has been sought without result from the two-state model, in which the West Bank and Gaza would become an independent Palestinian state. The situation in Gaza has become the most difficult humanitarian situation in the conflict, with Hamas, which has been classified as a terrorist organization, gaining control of Gaza in various ways, to which Israel has responded with violent retaliation and the blockade of the Gaza Strip. Egypt has also closed its borders to Gaza to prevent the spread of terrorism.

You are in a hot air balloon, 200 m above the flat Texas plains. you look out towards the horizon. How far out can you see- that
Minchanka [31]
Radius of earth as given in question = 6400 km
Height of the air balloon = 200 m
                                       = 0.20 km
Now
Let us assume the distance up to which one can see from the balloon = d
Then
d=sqrt [<span><span><span>(R+h<span>)2</span>−<span>R2] 
</span></span></span>  = sqrt [</span><span><span>2Rh+<span>h^2]
  = sqrt [2 (6400 * 0.20) + (0.20)^2]
  = sqrt [(2 * 1280) + 0.04]
  = sqrt [ 2560 + 0.04]
  = sqrt [2560.04]
  = 50.6 km
A person in the balloon can see up to a distance of 50.6 km. I hope the answer has helped you.</span></span></span>
