Measuring the amount of deuterium in the universe allows us to set a limit on _________.
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

the density of ordinary (baryonic) matter in the universe

Explanation:

 Deuterium detection is of interest because the amount of it may be related to the amount of dark matter in the universe, but precise measurements have been difficult to obtain. Due to the way in which deuterium was created in the Big Bang, an exact measurement of the amount of deuterium would allow scientists to set limits on the models of the great explosion.

Also, an exact measure of deuterium would be an indicator of the cosmic density of barions (ordinary matter), and that density of barions would indicate whether ordinary matter is dark and is found in regions such as black holes, gas clouds or brown dwarfs, or it is bright and can be found in the stars. This information will help scientists who try to understand the very beginning of our universe.

A taxi starts from Monument Circle and travels 5 kilometers to the east for 5 minutes. Then it travels 10 kilometers to the sout
katovenus [111]

The correct sentence is:

The taxi is moving with reference to  A) Monument circle. For each leg of the trip, the taxi’s  A) Average speed stays the same, but its  B) Average velocity  changes.

In fact, speed it is only the ratio between the distance traveled and the time taken - so it does not take into account the direction of motion. The speed in the first leg is

v=\frac{5 km}{5 min}=1 km/min

while the speed in the second leg is

v=\frac{10 km}{10 min}=1 km/min

so the speed stays the same.

However, the velocity also takes into account the direction of motion: in the first leg, the direction is east, while in the second leg, the direction is south, therefore the average velocity has changed, since the direction has changed.

The sun appears to move through the background stars. This apparent motion would not exist if:_________.
otez555 [7]

Answer:

b) the earth did not orbit the sun

Explanation:

The sun appears to move through the background stars due to parallax . Parallax is a phenomenon when the near object appears to move faster than the distant object . If we travel in a train , the near object like electric poles on rail track or trees and fields nearby appear to move faster against the distant background .

Hence when the earth moves around the sun , the sun appears to move against the background the stars which are far away . Had earth remained stationary at a place on its orbit around the sun , the sun would have appeared stationary against the background the   stars .
