As an object moves, the distance it travels increases with time. Agree Disagree

Star a has a parallax angle of 0.02 arcseconds, and star b has a parallax of angle of 0.1 arcseconds. which star is more distant

Studentka2010 [4]

Star a is more distant and is approximately 5 times as far away as star b Parallax is the change in angle that one must do in order to observe the same object from different locations. The further away an object is, the smaller the parallax is. As the angles approach zero, the trig functions tend to be fairly linear. And 0.1 arc seconds and 0.02 arc seconds are close enough to zero for this to hold true. Since the parallax for star a is smaller than the parallax for star b, it is the more distant star. And since 0.1 divided by 0.02 = 5, it is approximately 5 times further away than star b.

If Patricia worked 40 hours this week and her paycheck shows that her gross pay is $ 340 , what is her hourly wage?

GrogVix [38]

For 40 hours, she gets paid $340
Therefore, for 1 hour, she gets paid 340/40=$8.50
Her hourly wage is $8.50

Electric field lines always begin at _______ charges (or at infinity) and end at _______ charges (or at infinity). One could als

lesantik [10]

Answer:

b)

Explanation:

By convention, the electric field lines (which are tangent to the direction of the electric field at a given point) always begin at positive charges, and finish at negative charges.

This is a consequence of the convention that states that the electric field has the direction of the trajectory of a positive test charge when released from rest in an electric field.

(As the positive charge would move away from positive charges and would be attracted by negative ones).

So, the combination of answers that is true is b) (positive, negative, positive).

A catapult launches a test rocket vertically upward from a well, giving the rocket an initial speed of 80.6 m/s at ground level.

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

44.64 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 4.2\times 1180+80.6^2}\\\Rightarrow v=128.01\ m/s$

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 128.01=80.6+4.2t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{128.01-80.6}{4.2}=11.29\ s$

Time taken to reach 1180 m is 11.29 seconds

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=128.01-9.8t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{128.01}{9.8}=13.06\ s$

Time the rocket will keep going up after the engines shut off is 13.06 seconds.

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-128.01^2}{2\times -9.8}\\\Rightarrow s=836.05\ m$

The distance the rocket will keep going up after the engines shut off is 836.05 m

Total distance traveled by the rocket in the upward direction is 1180+836.05 = 2016.05 m

The rocket will fall from this height

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 2016.05=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{2016.05\times 2}{9.8}}\\\Rightarrow t=20.29\ s$

Time taken by the rocket to fall from maximum height is 20.29 seconds

Time the rocket will stay in the air is 11.29+13.06+20.29 = 44.64 seconds

What is the difference between current and voltage besides their units of measurement

kondor19780726 [428]

"Voltage" is the "pressure" that makes electrons want to leave where they are
and head in some direction, if there's conducting material in that direction.

"Current" is the rate at which they all migrate in that direction.
