Answer: is constant

Explanation:

In order to analyze the velocity of the stars within a galaxy, the <u>galaxy rotation curves</u> (developed by the American astronomer Vera Rubin) are used. These graphs are elaborated as a scatter diagram in which the orbital velocity of the stars present in a galaxy is represented on the Y axis and the distance of these stars to the center of the galaxy on the X axis.

Thanks to this diagram, it has been possible to observe a characteristic behavior in the rotation speed of the stars (and gas) present in the galaxies, which differs from the rules of the orbital movement of the planetary systems postulated by Newton and Kepler.

This means that in these galaxy rotation curves it has been observed that the rotation speed of stars and gas is "constant", regardless of the distance to the center of the galaxy. This discrepancy and these results were then used to demonstrate the existence of dark matter in the universe.

Ray Of Light [21]

Explanation:

The question is incomplete.

However a standard method to dertmine how workload effects health is developed and is called Harvard step test.

The Harvard Step Test is a fitness test method devised to measure heart and respiratory fitness. It is done by giving some work load to a person for 5 minutes (normally) and then noting his heart rate afterwards in some intervals.

Formula is;

Fitness Index =  (100 x test duration in sec) / (5.5 x pulse count between 1 and 1.5 mins)

Identify and describe the four stages of the demographic transition model
horsena [70]

There's four stages in the classical demographic transition model:

Stage 1 - Pre-transition

In this stage, the birth rates are very high, but also the life expectancy is very low, thus the growth of the population is slow.

Stage 2 - Early transition

In this stage, the birth rates are very high, but the life expectancy is increased, so the population grows rapidly.

Stage 3 - Late transition

In this stage, the birth rates decline slightly, and the life expectancy is a bit higher, thus the population growth is slowing down.

Stage 4 - Post-transition

In this stage, the birth rates are declined significantly, the life expectancy is pretty high, so the population is either growing very slowly, or it is declining.
