Ne4ueva [31]3 years ago
6 0

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.

You are driving at 50 miles per hour. If you decrease the time it takes you to travel 1 mile by 8 seconds, what is your new spee
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

The new speed is 56.25 miles/hour.

Explanation:

Since speed = distance/time;

time = distance/speed.

While driving at 50 miles/hour, time taken for one to complete 1 mile is (1/50) hour

(1/50) hour = (1/50) × 3600s = 72 seconds.

So, if this time to complete 1 mile (72 seconds) is reduced by 8 seconds,

New time to complete 1 mile will be = 72 - 8 = 64 seconds = (64/3600) hour = 0.0178 hour

New speed would be = (1 mile/64 seconds) = (1 mile/0.0178 hour) = 56.25 miles/hour.

Hope this Helps!!!
