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.

Digiron [165]

Answer:

3.31m/s

Explanation:

Angular momentum for 3s is

$L = L_i_n_i + L_3_s$

$L = 2(11.5kg) + \int\limits^ {3s}_ {0s} {(t^2 + 2)} \, dt$

$L = 23kg+(\frac{t^3}{3} +2t)^ {3s}_ {0s}\\\\L=38kgm/s$

Moment if inertia is

$I = 2ml^2$

$I = 2(11.5)(0.5)^2\\\\I=5.75kgm^2$

Angular speed

ω = L/I

$= 38 / 5.75\\\\=6.61$

The speed of each ball is

V = ωL

$= 6.61\times0.5\\\\= 3.31m/s$

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

B. Marginal cost equals long-run average total cost.

Explanation:

The zero profit condition implies that entry continues until all firms are producing at minimum long run average total cost. Since the marginal cost curve cuts the long run average total cost curve at its minimum point, marginal cost and long run average total cost must be equal in long run equilibrium.
