Answer:

Chemical composition, Temperature, Radial velocity, Size or diameter of the star, Rotation.

Explanation:  

Elemental abundances are determined by analyzing the relative strengths of the absorption lines in the spectrum of a star.

The Spectral class to which the star belongs gives the information related to the temperature of the star. It is the spectral lines that determine the spectral class O B A F G K M are the spectral classes.

By measuring the wavelengths of the lines in the star's spectrum gives the radial velocity. Doppler shift is the method used to find the radial velocity.

A star can be classified as a giant or a dwarf . A giant star will have narrow width spectral lines whereas a dwarf star has wider spectral lines.

Broadening of the spectral lines will determine the star's rotation.

Calculate the volume of 19 kilograms of petrol if the density of petrol is 800 kg/m?​
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

i hope this will help you :)

Explanation:

mass=19kg

density=800kg/m³

volume=?

as we know that

density=mass/volume

density×volume=mass

volume=mass/density

putting the values

volume=19kg/800kg/m³

so volume=0.02375≈0.02m³
