Astronomy help 1) Suppose you could observe stellar parallax from the orbit of Neptune.

1) Would it be easier or more difficult to measure stellar distances?

a) Neptune has the greater mass and radius than Earth. Therefore, parallaxes obtained from the Neptune would be smaller, and it would be more difficult to measure stellar distances.

b) Neptune has the greater mass and radius than Earth. Therefore, parallaxes obtained from the Neptune would be greater, and it would be easier to measure stellar distances.

c) Neptune has the greater orbital distance than Earth. Therefore, parallaxes obtained from the Neptune would be smaller, and it would be more difficult to measure stellar distances.

d) Neptune has the greater orbital distance than Earth. Therefore, parallaxes obtained from the Neptune would be greater, and it would be easier to measure stellar distances.

2) How would stellar parallax observed from Neptune differ from the stellar parallax we observe from Earth?

(parallax from Neptune/parallax from earth) =

3) Describe what would happen to the surface temperature of a star if its radius doubled but there was no change in luminosity.

the answer is = Luminosity increases both with increasing radius and increasing temperature. Therefore, a lower temperature would be required to maintain the star's constant luminosity.

3) By what factor would the temperature of the star change?

(T initial / T final)=

Aheat engine running backward is called a refrigerator if its purpose is to extract heat from a cold reservoir. the same engine running backward is called a heat pump if its purpose is to exhaust warm air into the hot reservoir. heat pumps are widely used for home heating. you can think of a heat pump as a refrigerator that is cooling the already cold outdoors and, with its exhaust heat qh, warming the indoors. perhaps this seems a little silly, but consider the following. electricity can be directly used to heat a home by passing an electric current through a heating coil. this is a direct, 100% conversion of work to heat. that is, 19.0 \rm kw of electric power (generated by doing work at the rate 19.0 kj/s at the power plant) produces heat energy inside the home at a rate of 19.0 kj/s. suppose that the neighbor's home has a heat pump with a coefficient of performance of 4.00, a realistic value. note: with a refrigerator, "what you get" is heat removed. but with a heat pump, "what you get" is heat delivered. so the coefficient of performance of a heat pump is k=qh/win. an average price for electricity is about 40 mj per dollar. a furnace or heat pump will run typically 200 hours per month during the winter. what does one month's heating cost in the home with a 16.0 kw electric heater? what does one month's heating cost in the home of a neighbor who uses a heat pump to provide the same amount of heating?

The bubba chump shrimp company processes and packages shrimp for sale to wholesale seafood distributors. the shrimp are transported to the main plant by trucks that carry 1,000 pounds (lb) of shrimp. once the continuous flow processing of the shrimp begins, no inventory is allowed in buffers due to spoilage and all of the shrimp must be processed within 12 hours to prevent spoilage. the processing begins at the sorter, where the trucks dump the shrimp onto a conveyor belt that feeds into the sorter, which can sort up to 500 lb per hour. the shrimp then proceed to the desheller, which can process shrimp at the rate of 400 lb per hour. however, after 3 hours and 45 minutes of processing, the desheller must be stopped for 15 minutes to clean out empty shrimp shells that have accumulated. the veins of the shrimp are then removed in the deveining area at a maximum rate of 360 lb per hour. the shrimp proceed to the washing area, where they are processed at 750 lb per hour. finally, the shrimp are packaged and frozen. what is the daily process capacity of the processing plant (excluding the packaging and freezing)?
