Answer:
The distance of stars and the earth can be averagely measured by using the knowledge of geometry to estimate the stellar parallax angle(p).
From the equation below, the stars distances can be calculated.
D = 1/p
Distance = 1/(parallax angle)
Stellar parallax can be used to determine the distance of stars from an observer, on the surface of the earth due to the motion of the observer. It is the relative or apparent angular displacement of the star, due to the displacement of the observer.
Explanation:
Parallax is the observed apparent change in the position of an object resulting from a change in the position of the observer. Specifically, in the case of astronomy it refers to the apparent displacement of a nearby star as seen from an observer on Earth.
The parallax of an object can be used to approximate the distance to an object using the formula:
D = 1/p
Where p is the parallax angle observed using geometry and D is the actual distance measured in parsecs. A parsec is defined as the distance at which an object has a parallax of 1 arcsecond. This distance is approximately 3.26 light years
Answer:
8.37×10⁻⁴ N/C
Explanation:
Electric Field: This is the ratio of electrostatic force to electric charge. The S.I unit of electric field is N/C.
From the question, the expression for electric field is given as,
E = F/Q.......................... Equation 1
Where E = Electric Field, F = force experienced by the charged balloon, Q = Charge on the balloon.
Given: F = 8.2×10⁻² Newton, Q = 9.8×10 Coulombs = 98 Coulombs
Substitute these values into equation 1
E = 8.2×10⁻² /98
E = 8.37×10⁻⁴ N/C
Hence the Electric Field of the charged balloon = 8.37×10⁻⁴ N/C
The resistance expected of the heater is 50.1 ohms.
<h3>What is resistance?</h3>
Resistance can be defined as the opposition to the flow of electric current in an electric circuit. The S.I unit of resistance is Ohms (Ω).
To calculate the resistance of the heater, we use the formula below.
<h3>Formula:</h3>
- R = V²/P............. Equation 1
Where:
- R = Resistance of the heater
- P = Power of the heater
- V = Voltage supplied to the heater
From the question,
Given:
- V = 480 V
- P = 4.6 kW = 4600 W
Substitute these values into equation 1
- R = (480²)/4600
- R = 50.1 ohms.
Hence, the resistance expected of the heater is 50.1 ohms.
