Answer:

finding Cepheid variable and measuring their periods.

Explanation:

This method is called  finding Cepheid variable and measuring their periods.

Cepheid variable is actually a type of star that has a radial pulsation having a varying brightness and diameter. This change in brightness is very well defined having a period and amplitude.

A potent clear link between the luminosity and pulsation period of a Cepheid variable developed Cepheids as an important determinants of cosmic criteria for scaling galactic and extra galactic distances. Henrietta Swan Leavitt revealed this robust feature of conventional Cepheid in 1908 after observing thousands of variable stars in the Magellanic Clouds. This in fact turn, by making comparisons its established luminosity to its measured brightness, allows one to evaluate the distance to the star.

A particle is projected with velocity v0 directly up a slope which makes an angle α with the horizontal. Assume frictionless mot
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

a)T total = 2*Voy/(g*sin( α ))

b)α = 0º ,  T total≅∞ (the particle, goes away horizontally indefinitely)

α = 90º,  T total=2*Voy/g

Explanation:

  • Velocity in the Y axis:

Voy=Vo*sinα

  • Time to reach the maximal height :

Kinematics equation: Vfy=Voy-at

a=g*sinα ;  g is gravity

if Vfy=0 ⇒ t=T ; time to reach the maximal height

so:

0=Voy-g*sin( α )*T

T=Voy/(g*sin( α ))

  • Time required to return to the starting point:

After the object reaches its maximum height, the object descends to the starting point, the time it descends is the same as the time it rises.

So T total= 2T = 2*Voy/(g*sin( α ))

  • α = 0º , sinα=0

The particle goes totally horizontal, goes away indefinitely

T total= 2*Voy/(g*sin( α )) ≅∞

  • α = 90º, sinα=1

T total=2*Voy/g

In this setup how can potential energy be converted into kinetic energy .
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

If force is applied to cause the motion of the body

Explanation:

In the setup given in this diagram, potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy by applying force on the cart or object to move it down the slope.

Potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body. The body has huge potential energy at its current position.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body.

As the body moves down the slope and its velocity increases, it gains massive kinetic energy.

Down the slope, the kinetic energy increases as the potential energy decreases.

At the bottom of the slope, the potential energy becomes zero and the kinetic energy is at its maximum.
