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

Answer:

  • toaster -- 15 A, 8 Ω
  • fry pan -- 10.83 A, 11.08 Ω
  • lamp -- 0.83 A, 144 Ω
  • fuse will blow

Explanation:

  P = VI

  I = P/V = P/120

  R = V/I = V/(P/V) = V^2/P = 14400/P

<u>Toaster</u>: I = 1800/120 = 15 . . . amps

  R = 14400/1800 = 8 . . . ohms

<u>Fry pan</u>: I = 1300/120 = 10.833 . . . amps

  R = 14400/1300 = 11.08 . . . ohms

<u>Lamp</u>: I = 100/120 = 0.833 . . . amps

  R = 14400/100 = 144 . . . ohms

The total current exceeds 20 A, so will blow the fuse.
