1. [5 marks] Betelgeuse (α Orionis) has been carefully examined using interferometry. In fact, in 1920 it became the first star (aside from the Sun) to have its angular size measured. A recent measurement put the value at 54.7 milliarcseconds. According to data from the Hipparcos satellite, its parallax is 5.07 milliarcseconds. This star is a red supergiant. [Hint: the values given here may not give you the same results to the questions below as you would find on the...

PLEASE ANSWER BOTH!!!
Our best measurements from Earth indicate that the star system Alpha Centauri is 4.2 light-years away. Suppose some of our astronauts traveled there at a speed v 0.83c. What would the astronauts measure as the distance to Alpha Centauri? O 2.8 light-years 9.1 light-years O 2.9 light-years O 2.3 light-years O 7.5 light-years If a proton with mass 1.67 x 10"27 kg moves in an accelerator such that its total energy is five times its rest energy...

2. Which one of the following statements about measuring the mass of an isolated star (a star that is not in a binary star system) is correct? a) the mass of the star can be measured accurately only if its luminosity and temperature can be measured b) the mass of the star cannot be measured accurately c) the mass of the star can be measured accurately only if its distance can be found d) the mass of the star can...

The "best" result is always associated with the measurement with the smallest uncertainty. Measurement B has half the standard uncertainty of measurement A. Therefor e our 68 % coverage probability is associated with a smaller interval (83.44 g o 83.56 g) for measurement B than measurement A (83.38 g to 83.62 g). In other words we have better knowledge about the value of the measurand from measurement B, since we have the same coveroge probability associated with a norrower interval....

220AL-E1 he uncertainty in an experimental quantity must be reported. Since there are a number of ways to do this we must state the meaning of the uncertainty. A Estimated uncertaint Sometimes we make several measurements that are identical. Eq 1-2 would yield ơx-0, which could lead to the mistaken impression that the uncertainty is zero when in fact the precision of the instrument is less than the random errors. We must estimate the uncertainty, and,...

One motivational issue that Google pays particular attention to concerns its star performers. Most organizations treat performance evaluation ratings—and accompanying compensation differences—much like grades in a college course. Just as a distribution of grades might have a few A’s, more A–’s, B+’s, B’s, and B–’s, and a few C’s, so too do performance evaluations wind up with a few 5’s, more 4’s, 3’s, and 2’s, and a few 1’s. Thus, scores and rewards have a “bell curve” distribution, with fewer...

Some of the most ardent fans of Arsenal, Manchester United, and Liverpool live far from Highbury, Old Trafford, and Anfield, in Hong Kong and Singapore. Until the 2006-07 season, ESPN Star Sports held the broadcast rights to the English Premier League (EPL) for Singapore. Then, in late 2006, StarHub bid an estimated US$160 million to beat incumbent ESPN Star Sports and telecommunications provider, SingTel, to win the rights for the next three seasons. The winning bid was reputedly several times...
