The transit method requires watching the light output of a star over long periods of time. A transit occurs when the planet crosses in front of its star from earths point of view. Since there is a small object (the planet) now blocking some of the star, it appears to dim a little bit for a while until the planet passes. If we are in a position where that occurs regularly (most paths of planets do not happen to be on the line of sight between earth and their star) we can deduce the period of orbit. From the amount of dimming and the period you can estimate the mass
Answer:
The potential between the plates will decrease.
Explanation:
An insulator is usually placed between the parallel plates and is also called a dielectric because it makes the amount of charge a capacitor can accommodate to increase at a particular potential difference.
Furthermore, the dielectric effect will make the electric field of the charged capacitor which is not connected to a source of supply to decrease.
Now, when the battery is removed, the charge Q remains constant and Capacity C will increase.
Formula for the potential difference is here;
V = Q/C
Since the numerator Q is constant and the denominator C increases, it means the potential difference V will decrease

Answer:
The astronaut will get a velocity 0.064ms−1 opposite to the direction of the object.
Answer:
The combined gas equation relates three variables pressure, temperature and volume when the number of moles is constant.
The equation is PV / T = constant. Which is valid for a fixed number of moles of the gas.
You can derive the combined gas equation from the combination of Bolye's law, Charles' law and Gay-Lussac's law, which needs some algebra.
