Answer:

c. detecting the gravitational effect of an orbiting planet (The Wobble"") by looking for the Doppler shifts in the star's spectrum

Explanation:

In a solar system the mass of the star and planets affect each other's orbital  movements. The center of gravity of a star and a planet is inside the star. This causes the star to be closer and farther from the Earth at different times. Due to this wobble the star appears to be red shifted when it is farther and blue shifted when it is closer.

When the mass of the planet is high, like a hot Jupiter it causes more wobble i.e., change in radial velocity. This makes it easier to detect the planet. The earliest hot Jupiter found by this method is the planet 51 Pegasi b.

What two bodily functions are increased by a warm up
drek231 [11]

1) Blood flow: increases during warming improving muscle and joint elasticity. This decreases the possibility of having an injury.


2) Body temperature: This causes the cellular metabolism to increase. It also causes vasodilatation that allows a greater supply of oxygen and nutrients.

When the rocket launched the astronauts aboard experienced an acceleration of 32 m/s^2. If one of the astronauts had a mass of 6
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The question is somewhat vague in that acceleration is not exactly defined:

Usually a = (v2 - v1) / t    which would imply that

a = 32 / g = 32 / 9.8 = 3.27   the acceleration due to change in speed of the rocket

One can also say that the astronaut experiences an acceleration of 9.8 m/s^2 just by being motionless on the surface of the earth.

Then a = (32 - 9.8) / 9.8 = 2.27 due to the acceleration of the rocket

If we assume the first condition then

F = 65 kg * 3.27 * 9.8 m/s^2 = 2083 N
