A star is located at a distance of about 100 million light years from Earth. An astronomer plans to measure the distance of the

star by the parallax method. Which of these statements best explains why the astronomer's method of measuring the star distance is inappropriate?
a. At large distances, a red shift in the star's spectrum causes incorrect measurements.
b. At large distances, a blue shift in the star's spectrum causes incorrect measurements.
c. The parallaxes beyond a few thousand light years are too large to be used to measure distances.
d. The parallaxes beyond a few thousand light years are too small to be measured with common instruments.

<span>d. The parallaxes beyond a few thousand light years are
too small to be measured with common instruments.

I'm not sure that parallax can even be used out to a few
thousand light years.

The NEAREST star to Earth has the BIGGEST parallax.
The star is Alpha Centauri.  It's only 4 light years away
from us, and its parallax is  0.000206 of a degree !
I have no idea how astronomers can measure angles
so small ... and that's the BIGGEST parallax angle of
ANY star.</span>

Use the formula h = −16t2 + v0t. (if an answer does not exist, enter dne.) a ball is thrown straight upward at an initial speed
makkiz [27]
Using the given formula with v0=56 ft/s and h=40 ft 
h = -16t2 + v0t  
40 = -16t2 + 56t 
16t2 - 56t + 40 = 0  
Solving the quadratic equation:  
t= (-b+/-(b^2-4ac)^1/2)/2a = (56+/-((-56)^2-4*16*40)^1/2)/2*16 = (56 +/- 24) / 32 
 We have two possible solutions  
t1 = (56+24)/32 = 2.5 
t2 = (56-24)/32 = 1  
So initially the ball reach a height of 40 ft in 1 second.

Lilli suggests that they explore the simulation starting with varying only a single parameter in order to understand the role of
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

One of the ways to address this issue is through the options given by the statement. The concepts related to the continuity equation and the Bernoulli equation.

Through these two equations it is possible to observe the behavior of the fluid, specifically the velocity at a constant height.

By definition the equation of continuity is,

A_1V_1=A_2V_2

In the problem A_2 is 2A_1, then

A_1V_1=2A_1V_2

V_2 = \frac{V_1}{2}

<em>Here we can conclude that by means of the continuity when increasing the Area, a decrease will be obtained - in the diminished times in the area - in the speed.</em>

For the particular case of Bernoulli we have to

P_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho V_1^2 = P_2 +\frac{1}{2}\rho V_2^2

P_2-P_1 = \frac{1}{2} \rho (V_1^2-V_2^2)

For the previous definition we can now replace,

P_2-P_1 = \frac{1}{2} \rho (V_1^2-(\frac{V_1}{2})^2)

\Delta P =  \frac{3}{8} \rho V_1^2

<em>Expressed from Bernoulli's equation we can identify that the greater the change that exists in pressure, fluid velocity will tend to decrease</em>

The correct answer is B: "If we increase A2 then by the continuity equation the speed of the fluid should decrease. Bernoulli's equation then shows that if the velocity of the fluid decreases (at constant height conditions) then the pressure of the fluid should increase"

a crane lifts a 35000 N steel girder a distance of 25 m in 45 s. How much power did the crane require to lift the girder
Angelina_Jolie [31]
Hello.

The formula for Power is Work divided by Time; however, we do not have our value for Work - yet.
To find for the Work inputted, we need to use its formula: Force * Distance.

Let's multiply our Force by our Distance. Remember that our Force is always  measured in Newtons (N), and our Distance is measured by Meters (M).
35,000 * 25 = 875,000 J (Unit for Work is "J" or "Joules")

Now that we have the value for Work, let's apply it to our Power formula.
P = 875,000 / 45; 19,444.44~

The Power required to lift the girder is 1944.44~ W (Unit for Power is "W" or "Watts").

I hope this helps!

1. When the fission of uranium-235 is carried out, about 0.1 percent of the mass of the reactants is lost during the reaction. W
DerKrebs [107]

The correct answer to the question is that the lost mass has been converted into energy.

EXPLANATION:

From Einstein's theory, we know that energy and mass are inter convertible .

When some amount of mass is lost, same amount of energy equivalent to mass is produced.

Let us consider m is the mass lost during any reaction. Hence, the amount of energy produced will be-

                                 Energy E = mc^2                

Here, c is the velocity of light i.e c = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

As per the question, uranium-235 undergoes fission. The amount of mass defect is 0.1 %.

The mass defect is defined as the difference between mass of reactants and products. During the fission, energy is produced.

The energy produced in this reaction is nothing else than the energy equivalent to mass defect.  Approximately 199.5 Mev of energy equivalent to this mass defect is produced in this reaction.
