Using current technology, useful parallax measurements can only be found for stars up to about 340 light years (100 parsecs) away.
Answer:
Total energy is constant
Explanation:
The laws of thermodynamics state that thermal energy (heat) is always transferred from a hot body (higher temperature) to a cold body (lower temperature).
This is because in a hot body, the molecules on average have more kinetic energy (they move faster), so by colliding with the molecules of the cold body, they transfer part of their energy to them. So, the temperature of the hot body decreases, while the temperature of the cold body increases.
This process ends when the two bodies reach the same temperature: we talk about thermal equilibrium.
In this problem therefore, this means that the thermal energy is transferred from the hot water to the cold water.
However, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant: therefore here, if we consider the hot water + cold water as an isolated system (no exchange of energy with the surroundings), this means that their total energy remains constant.

Answer:
Potential energy
Explanation:
Before release, the catapult has potential energy stored in a tension of torsion device in it. Normally a flexible bow like object that could be made of wood or of metal.
Answer:
The source of centripetal force is the gravitational force between the planet and Sun. Gravitational force depends on the mass of the planet, mass of the Sun and distance between them.
