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 block is attached to a horizontal spring and oscillates back and forth on a frictionless horizontal surface at a frequency of
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Amplitude = 0.058m

Frequency = 6.25Hz

Explanation:

Given

Amplitude (A) = 8.26 x 10-2 m

Frequency (f) = 4.42Hz

Conversation of energy before split

½mv² = ½KA²

Make A the subject of formula

A = v\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

Conversation of energy after split

½(m/2)V'² = ½(m/2)V² = ½KA'²

½(m/2)V² = ½KA'²

Make A the subject of formula

First divide both sides by ½

(m/2)V² = KA'²

Divide both sides by K

\frac{m}{2K}V² = A'²

v\sqrt{\frac{m}{2k} } = A'

Substitute v\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } for A in the above equation

A' = A/√2

A' = 8.26 x 10^-2/√2

A' = 0.05840702012600882

Amplitude after split = 0.058 (Approximated)

Frequency (f') = f√2

f' = 4.42√2

f' = 6.25082394568908011

Frequency after split = 6.25Hz (approximated)
