Usually, Scientists use "Parallax Method" in order to determine the different positions of an object

Hope this helps!

Answer: By Doppler effect

Explanation:

The spectrum of the objects in the universe such as stars and galaxies is taken and studied. The apparent change in the frequency/wavelength of the light suggests the motion of these objects.

If the apparent frequency is greater, the light would be blue -shifted which means it is moving towards Earth and if it is red shifted, it would be moving away from the earth. This is apparent change in observed frequency is known as Doppler's effect which studied to determine the motion of objects in the universe.

A cyclical heat engine, operating between temperatures of 450º C and 150º C produces 4.00 MJ of work on a heat transfer of 5.00
gogolik [260]

Answer:

(a) Heat transfer to the environment is: 1 MJ and (b) The efficiency of the engine is: 41.5%

Explanation:

Using the formula that relate heat and work from the thermodynamic theory as:W=Q=Q_{in}-Q_{out} solving to Q_out we get:Q_{out}=Q_{in}-W=5(MJ)-4(MJ)=1(MJ) this is the heat out of the cycle or engine, so it will be heat transfer to the environment. The thermal efficiency of a Carnot cycle gives us: n=1-\frac{T_{Low} }{T_{High}} where T_Low is the lowest cycle temperature and T_High the highest, we need to remember that a Carnot cycle depends only on the absolute temperatures, if you remember the convertion of K=°C+273.15 so T_Low=150+273.15=423.15 K and T_High=450+273.15=723.15K and replacing the values in the equation we get:n=1-\frac{423.15}{723.15} =0.415=41.5%

Explain the difference in reactivity of the elements based on their electron configurations.
victus00 [196]

Well a basic explanation is that some elements have enough electrons to be considered stable. These elements do not need to react with other elements to gain more electrons. Reactive elements are no where near stable; they respond with other elements in order to become stable. The more unstable, the harsher the reaction is.

In 1-2 sentences explain how you would determine the constant k for a spring.
Dmitrij [34]

To perform an experiment to determine the force constant of a spring, you will need a stand with a boss and clamp, a spiral spring, a meter rule and different weights.

The setup is arranged as shown in the image attached. The natural length of the spring is first recorded. Different weights are added to the spring one after the other and the extension is recorded.

The weight is now plotted on the vertical axis and the extension is plotted on the horizontal axis. The slope of the graph is the force constant of the spring.
