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.

Answer:

current, only

Explanation:

current:I

voltage:U

resistance:R

formula: I=U/R

Increasing the battery cause the increasing in the voltage. Resistance does not normally change. And the current would increase.

A support crossbeam on a high speed train is made from a titanium rod that has a length of 0.650m when measured by an observer o
Vilka [71]

Answer:

A) The crossbeam is moving relative to the observer on the platform so the height appears contracted.

Explanation:

The observer on the train and the beam are in the same reference frame. That means observer on the train will measure the proper length of the beam not the contracted length . the observer is outside and the plank is in the moving system,it will appear to be moving.

Help please :pensive:
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

0m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity of the boat = 8m/s

Final velocity  = 8m/s

Time taken  = 4s

Unknown:

Acceleration of the boat = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.

It is mathematically expressed as;

        A = \frac{v - u}{t}

A is the acceleration

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

    Insert the parameters and solve;

  A = \frac{8-8}{4}   = 0m/s²

5. A person fishing from a pier observes that four wave crests pass by in 7.0 s and estimates that the distance between two succ
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

v= 1.71 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Distance between two successive crests = 4.0 m

 λ = 4 m

T= 7 sec

T is the time between 3 waves.

3 waves = 7 sec

1 wave = 7 /3 sec

So t= 7/3 s

We know that frequency f

f= 1/t= 3/7 Hz

Lets take speed of the wave is v

v= f λ

f=frequency

λ=wavelength

v= 3/7 x 4 = 12 /7

v= 1.71 m/s
