Answer: Trigonometric or Stellar Parallax

Explanation:

Whenever a star is too far away to measure its parallax, astronomers do match its color and spectrum to one of the standard candles and determine its intrinsic brightness.

Comparing this to its apparent brightness, they can get a good measure of its distance by applying the 1/r^2 rule.

Astronomers estimate the distance of nearby objects in space by using a method called stellar parallax, or trigonometric parallax. They measure a star's apparent movement against the background of more distant stars as Earth revolves around the sun.

Air resistance allow objects to develop full acceleration due to gravity true or false

Aloiza [94]

False. because the object cannot freefall due to resistance, so it cannot develop full acceleration.

Initial velocity 10 m/s accelerates at 5 m/s for 2 seconds whats the final velocity

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The final velocity is 20 m/s.

Explanation:

Constant Acceleration Motion

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, and t the time, the final speed can be calculated as follows:

$v_f=v_o+at$

The provided data is: vo=10 m/s, $a=5\ m/s^2$ , t=2 s. The final velocity is:

$v_f=10~m/s+5\ m/s^2\cdot 2\ s$

$v_f=20\ m/s$

The final velocity is 20 m/s.

When an object is falling and reaches a constant velocity, the net force on the object is ____ and the weight of the object is e

Maslowich

When an object is falling and reaches a constant velocity, the net force on the object is zero (it's not accelerating), and the weight of the object is equal to the force of air resistance against the object. (choice-D)
