The transit method requires watching the light output of a star over long periods of time. A transit occurs when the planet crosses in front of its star from earths point of view. Since there is a small object (the planet) now blocking some of the star, it appears to dim a little bit for a while until the planet passes. If we are in a position where that occurs regularly (most paths of planets do not happen to be on the line of sight between earth and their star) we can deduce the period of orbit. From the amount of dimming and the period you can estimate the mass

If vector C is added to vector D, the result is a third vector that is perpendicular to D and has a magnitude equal to 3D. What
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

(e) 3.2

Explanation:

We are given that vector C and D.

Let R be the magnitude of C+D.

According to question

R=3D

We have to find the ratio of the magnitude of C to that of D.

By using right triangle property

C^2=R^2+D^2

C^2=(3D)^2+D^2

C^2=9D^2+D^2

C^2=10D^2

C=\sqrt{10D^2}=3.2D

\frac{C}{D}=3.2

Hence, the ratio of the magnitude of C to that of D=3.2

Consider two particles A and B. The angular position of particle A, with constant angular acceleration, depends on time accordin
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

θ = θ₀ + ½ w₀ (t -t_1) + α (t -t_1)²

Explanation:

This is an angular kinematic exercise the equation for the angular position

the particle A

       θ = θ₀ + ω₀ t + ½ α t²

They say for the particle B

     w₀B = ½ w₀

     αB = 2 α

In addition, the particle begins at a time t_1 after particle A, in order to use the same timer, we must subtract this time from the initial

      t´ = t - t_1

l

et's write the equation of particle B

      θ = θ₀ + w₀B t´ + ½ αB t´2

replace

     θ = θ₀ + ½ w₀ (t -t_1) + ½ 2α (t -t_1)²

     θ = θ₀ + ½ w₀ (t -t_1) + α (t -t_1)²
