The key discovery about Cepheid variable stars that led in the 1920s to the resolution of the question of whether spiral "nebula

e" were separate and distant galaxies or part of the Milky Way Galaxy was the direct relationship between the pulsation period and the absolute brightness or luminosity of the Cepheid variables. A measurement of ____ brightness of a variable star could then be used to determine the distance to the "nebula" containing it.

The key discovery about Cepheid variable stars that led in the 1920s to the resolution of the question of whether spiral "nebulae" were separate and distant galaxies or part of the Milky Way Galaxy was the direct relationship between the pulsation period and the absolute brightness or luminosity of the Cepheid variables. A measurement of apparent brightness of a variable star could then be used to determine the distance to the "nebula" containing it.

Explanation:

A variable star is a star with changing apparent brightness. The changes can occur over years or in a fraction of seconds. For example the sun whose energy output varies by approximately 0.1 percent of its magnitude, over an 11-year solar cycle. This variable(apparent brightness) can be used to determine how far a variable star is (distance). Therefore, a measurement of apparent brightness of a variable star could then be used to determine the distance to the "nebula" containing it.

Which of these discoveries is generally attributed to kepler?
Ne4ueva [31]
The question is incomplete and no options are given but the answer is;
The orbit of Mars is an ellipse,<span> is generally attributed to Kepler.
Kepler's first law states that; "</span><span>The orbits of the planets are ellipses, with the Sun at one focus of the ellipse.
</span>The planet at that point takes after and follow the ellipse in its orbit, which implies that the distance between Earth and Sun remove is continually changing as the planet goes around its orbit.

Two vectors are illustrated in the coordinate plane.
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer: (-4.3, 2.5)

Explanation:

In the second quadrant, magnitude of the vector is 5 and angle is 30° from the negative x-axis.

We can write this in terms of its components:

-5 cos 30^o \hat i + 5 sin 30^o\hat j

-4.3\hat i+2.5 \hat j

Thus, the components of vector in the second quadrant are (-4.3, 2.5)
