Answer:

It will be able to measure the distances of stars located across the Milky Way galaxy and outside it up to a distance of 50 Kiloparsec.

Explanation:

1 arcsecond is 1/parsec.

0.00002 arcsecond is 1/0.00002 parsec = 50,000 parsecs or 50 Kiloparsecs.

The shortest distance to the edge of the Milky Way is about 8 Kiloparsec and the farthest is about 24 Kiloparsec. So at this parallax angle, it can measure the distances of stars across the Milky Way galaxy. Any stars within a distance of 50 Kpc will be measured by GAIA. However, since the closest galaxy to the Milky Way is about 770 Kpc away, GAIA will be unable to measure any stars in another galaxy.

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

La opción correcta es C. Los lagos son ideales para la construcción de centrales hidroeléctricas.

Explanation:

Una central hidroeléctrica es una central eléctrica que utiliza agua corriente o que cae para poner una turbina en movimiento y generar electricidad a través de este. El uso de energía hidroeléctrica no produce contaminación ni residuos radiactivos peligrosos. Por eso se considera que las centrales hidroeléctricas generan energía verde.

En este contexto, los lagos son fundamentales para la construcción de las represas que almacenan el agua que se utiliza para hacer funcionar las centrales hidroeléctricas, ya que en el caso de los ríos, muchas veces ocurre que el ancho del caudal no es suficiente para poder realizar una construcción efectiva, con lo cual se construyen embalses artificiales que son un gasto extra de tiempo y dinero.

Answer: Raymond Wang: How germs travel on planes – and how we can stop them

1. After completing the unit and watching the video, explain how the unit about oceans and the video about germs on a plane relate?

In his video Raymond explains how the diseases are transmitted through planes from one country to another and the difficulties faced to prevent the spread of diseases due to the air circulation in the planes. It is always difficult to screen the person with disease and prevent them from getting into the plane since the air circulates in the conventional cabins. When a person sneezes, the air will get swirled multiple times and spread the disease.

2. Using examples from the video, explain why it is difficult to keep people who are sick off of planes.

It’s difficult to pre-screen for diseases. When someone goes on a plane, they could be sick and actually be in this latency period in which they could have the disease but not exhibit any symptoms and could possibly spread the disease to many other people.

3. How does Wang illustrate what happens in a conventional airplane cabin when someone sneezes?

He illustrates how the air is just being circulated throughout the plane. When someone sneezes, the air is just being circulated into the air. This means that everyone on that plane has breathed in that person’s sneeze because it’s such a compact place.
