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

A brass alloy is known to have a yield strength of 240 MPa (35,000 psi), a tensile strength of 310 MPa (45,000 psi), and an elas

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Here Strain due to testing is greater than the strain due to yielding that is why computation of load is not possible.

Explanation:

Given that

Yield strength ,Sy= 240 MPa

Tensile strength = 310 MPa

Elastic modulus ,E= 110 GPa

L=380 mm

ΔL = 1.9 mm

Lets find strain:

Case 1 :

Strain due to elongation (testing)

ε = ΔL/L

ε = 1.9/380

ε = 0.005

Case 2 :

Strain due to yielding

$\varepsilon' =\dfrac{S_y}{E}$

$\varepsilon' =\dfrac{240}{110\times 1000}$

ε '=0.0021

Here Strain due to testing is greater than the strain due to yielding that is why computation of load is not possible.

For computation of load strain due to testing should be less than the strain due to yielding.

The magnetic field at the center of a 1.50-cm-diameter loop is 2.70 mT . Part A. What is the current in the loop?

elixir [45]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Diameter of the circular loop, d = 1.5 cm

Radius of the circular loop, r = 0.0075 m

Magnetic field, $B=2.7\ mT=2.7\times 10^{-3}\ T$

(A) We need to find the current in the loop. The magnetic field in a circular loop is given by :

$B=\dfrac{\mu_o I}{2r}$

$I=\dfrac{2Br}{\mu_o}$

$I=\dfrac{2\times 2.7\times 10^{-3}\times 0.0075}{4\pi \times 10^{-7}}$

I = 32.22 A

(b) The magnetic field on a current carrying wire is given by :

$B=\dfrac{\mu_o I}{2\pi r}$

$r=\dfrac{\mu_o I}{2\pi B}$

$r=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 32.22}{2\pi \times 2.7\times 10^{-3}}$

r = 0.00238 m

$r=2.38\times 10^{-3}\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.

As a system expands, it absorbs 52.5 J of energy in the form of heat from the surroundings. The piston is working against a pres

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Vi = 0.055 m³ = 55 L

Explanation:

From first Law of Thermodynamics, we know that:

ΔQ = ΔU + W

where,

ΔQ = Heat absorbed by the system = 52.5 J

ΔU = Change in Internal Energy = -102.5 J (negative sign shows decrease in internal energy of the system)

W = Work Done in Expansion by the system = ?

Therefore,

52.5 J = - 102.5 J + W

W = 52.5 J + 102.5 J

W = 155 J

Now, the work done in a constant pressure condition is given by:

W = PΔV

W = P(Vf - Vi)

where,

P = Constant Pressure = (0.5 atm)(101325 Pa/1 atm) = 50662.5 Pa

Vf = Final Volume of System = (58 L)(0.001 m³/1 L) = 0.058 m³

Vi = Initial Volume of System = ?

Therefore,

155 J = (50662.5 Pa)(0.058 m³ - Vi)

Vi = 0.058 m³ - 155 J/50662.5 Pa

Vi = 0.058 m³ - 0.003 m³
