<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

Calculate the variations in the position of the star due to movement of Earth in its orbit

<h3><u>Explanations</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>Astronomers can measure the distance to a star by calculating the variations in the position of the star due to movement of Earth in its orbit, a method called parallax.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Parallax refers to the apparent displacement of an object such as a star because of a change in the point of view of the observer. As the sun orbits the nearby stars appear to move against the more distance background stars. </u></em>
  • Therefore, astronomers can measure the position of the star and then after 6 months and then calculate the apparent change in position.

Based on my research, I believe that the answer is <span>calculate the variations in the position of the star due to movement of Earth in its orbit. The answer would be the first option. This involves measuring Parallax. Hope this is the answer that you are looking for. </span>

Answer:

A rabbit which needs food specifically food from plants because they are vegetarians, to help them grow. The energy that the plant holds is given to the rabbit when eaten. The plant feeds the bunny its nutrients which tells the muscles to keep going and get stronger and tells the rest of the body to grow.

Use the exact values you enter to make later calculations. Jack and Jill are on two different floors of their high rise office b
erastovalidia [21]

The part B of the question is missing and it is;

b) What is the height between the two window ledges?

Answer:

A) 20.76 m/s

B) 161.52 m

Explanation:

A) To calculate the initial speed we use the formula from Newton's first law of motion:

v = u + at

Making u the subject gives;

u = v - at

Where;

v is the final velocity which is the speed when Jill sees the pot = 60 m/s

u is the initial velocity which is the speed when Jack sees the pot go by

t is the time between the two observed events = 4 s

a in this question is acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s².

Plugging in the relevant values into the initial velocity equation gives;

u = 60 - (9.81 × 4)

u = 20.76 m/s

B) To get the height difference, we will use the formula;

(y1 - y0) = ut + ½at²

Thus, plugging in the relevant values, we have;

y1 - y0 = (20.76 × 4) + (½ × 9.81 × 4²)

(y1 - y0) = 161.52 m

You drop a 30 g pebble down a well. You hear a splash 2.7 s later. Ignoring air resistance, how deep is the well? Assume g = 9.8
lys-0071 [83]
I will assume here that the well is sufficiently short so that the time the sound takes to come from the bottom of the well to our ear is negligible.

Since the pebble moves by uniformly accelerated motion, the distance it covers is given by
S= \frac{1}{2}gt^2
where 
g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration
t=2.7 s is the time the pebble takes to reach the bottom of the well

Therefore, the depth of the well is
S= \frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(2.7 s)^2 = 35.7 m \sim 36 m
and the correct answer is B.

How are different types of energy used?
Luda [366]

Answer:

The 6 Forms of Energy. There are many forms of energy: like solar, wind, wave and thermal to name a few, but the 6 Forms of Energy we study in Needham are: Sound, Chemical, Radiant, Electric, Atomic and Mechanical. Sound Energy- is produced when an object is made to vibrate.
