The correct answer is<span> measure the distance to a star. 

It is</span> the semi-angle of inclination between two sight-lines to the star, as observed when the Earth is on opposite sides of the Sun in its orbit. This is used to measure the distance to closer stars.

A mass free to vibrate on a level, frictionless surface at the end of a horizontal spring is pulled 35 cm from its equilibrium p
saul85 [17]

Answer:

0.67 s

Explanation:

This is a simple harmonic motion (SHM).

The displacement, x, of an SHM is given by

x = A\cos(\omega t)

A is the amplitude and \omega is the angular frequency.

We could use a sine function, in which case we will include a phase angle, to indicate that the oscillation began from a non-equilibrium point. We are using the cosine function for this particular case because the oscillation began from an extreme end, which is one-quarter of a single oscillation, when measured from the equilibrium point. One-quarter of an oscillation corresponds to a phase angle of 90° or \frac{\pi}{4} radian.

From trigonometry, \sin A =\cos B if A and B are complementary.

At t = 0, x = 3.5

3.5 = A\cos(\omega \times0)

A =3.5

So

x = 3.5\cos(\omega t)

At t = 0.12, x = 1.5

1.5 = 3.5\cos(0.12\omega)

\cos(0.12\omega)=\dfrac{1.5}{3.5}=0.4286

0.12\omega =\cos^{-1}0.4286

0.12\omega = 1.13

\omega = 9.4

The period, T, is related to \omega by

T = \dfrac{2\pi}{\omega} = \dfrac{2\times3.14}{9.4}=0.67

The prediction that alcohol slows reaction time is:_________.
ddd [48]

Answer:

b) directional

Explanation:

The prediction that alcohol slows reaction time is Directional . This is because for alcohol to be known as one which slows reaction time means there have been various hypothesis conducted which supports this.

In this case, formulation of a null hypothesis is usually necessary which means that alcohol does not slow reaction time and another alternative hypothesis that suggests that alcohol slows reaction time.
