The parallax angle for the red supergiant star betelgeuse has been measured using hipparcos to be 4.51 ± 0.80 mas (milliarcseconds). (g. m. harper et al 2017, aj, 154,11), a. find the distance to betelgeuse in units parsecs including uncertainty (which will be asymmetric, so you need to compute + and-uncertainties b. convert the optimal distance you computed in parsecs in part (a) into light-years; c. determine the distance modulus for betelgeuse (you may ignore uncertainty). separately) and round to the right number of significant figures. au. keep the correct number of significant figures. using clear english prose, explain why result makes sense (i certainly hope it d. betelgeuse has a mean v magnitude of m-0.45. what is its mean luminosity in solar luminosities? again, ignore uncertainty for now. hint: the sun's absolute vluminosity is~4.83

16. a brave but inadequate rugby player is being pushed backward by an opposing player who is exerting a force of 800 n on him. the mass of the losing player plus equipment is 90.0 kg, and he is accelerating at 1.20m/s2 size 12{1 "." "20"" m/s" rsup { size 8{2} } } {} backward. (a) what is the force of friction between the losing player’s feet and the grass? (b) what force does the winning player exert on the ground to move forward if his mass plus equipment is 110 kg? (c) draw a sketch of the situation showing the system of interest used to solve each part. for this situation, draw a free-body diagram and write the net force equation.
