D.). Radial Method - is the stars, and planets, that orbit around a common center of mass, The star will move towards, and away from earth. Light is shifted, as the star motion changes.

C.). Redshift Method - is described as, how light shifts toward shorter, or longer wavelengths; as objects in space, move closer, or farther away from us. If the star is moving away from us, The light it gets stretched a little, which makes it appear more red than it really is.

B.). Blueshift Method - is the opposite of redshift, its' a decrease in wavelength, due to its' motions towards Earth. If a star is moving closer to us, the light it gives off gets squeezed together, which makes it appear bluer than it actually is.

A.). Triangulation Method - is a method used to determine distances through parallax; The distance equals baseline divides by parallax. It is used to calculate stellar distances by using Earth's orbital diameter, as baseline, the angular displacement of a star is measured.

Therefore, Your answer: Letter Choice (A), Triangulation Method.

Hope that helps, (Answer: Letter Choice (A), Triangulation Method is used to obtain a precise measurement of a star's distance from Earth.).

Have a great day!!!!! : )

Answer:

triangulation method

Explanation:

The triangulation method is used in Astronomy to measure distances of planets and nearby stars. To measure distances from distant stars in our galaxy, or other galaxies, we have to resort to indirect methods. For this reason, we can conclude that the triangulation method is the best method among those cited for a scientist to use to obtain an accurate measure of the distance between a star to Earth

The radii of the sprocket assemblies and the wheel of the bicycle in the figure are:

Furkat [3]

To solve this task we have to make a proportion, but firstly we have to set up all the main points : so, the distance is s=r(B), that has its r=radius,B=angle in rad velocity v=ds/dt= w(r)
Do not forget about w = angular speed in rad/s and $w1 = 1 revolution/sec = 2Pi (rad/s)$
Now we can go to proportion
$v1=v2$
$w1*r1 = w2r2$ $w2 = w1 * r1/r2 = 2w1 = 4Pi (rad/s)$
$w2 = w3 (which is the angular velocity of the rear wheel) 
$
SOLVING FOR A : $v3 = w3 * r3 = 4pi * 14 (inch/s) = 14.66 ft/sec$
$v3 = 14.66 ft/sec(1 mile/5280 ft)( 3600 sec/h)$ $= 9.99$ or something about 10 mph --- SOLVING FOR B.
I'm sure it helps!

What 3 points must an object possess to be considered a planet

Vitek1552 [10]

1. It must be an object which independently orbits the Sun (this means moons can't be considered planets, since they orbit planets)
2. It must have enough mass that its own gravity pulls it into a spheroidal shape.
3. It must be large enough to "dominate" its orbit (i.e. its mass must be much larger than anything else which crosses its orbit).
