Answer:

The Kepler Space Telescope is searching for extrasolar planets by the transit method. It is necessary for Kepler to photometrically monitor a large number of stars because increase the probability to see a transit.

Explanation:

Photometry is the study of the intensivity of light radiated from a particular object.

In the other hand, the transit method consists in the measured of the dimming on the brightness of a star when a planet is passing in front of it, as long as the star, the planet and the detector (in this case the Kepler Telescope) are in the same line of sign.  

However, that transit has a short duration. So it is necessary that the Kepler Telescope monitorates the brightness of several stars each thirty minutes in order to increase the probability of detection of a transit.

A stone that starts at rest free falls for 7.0 s. How far does the stone fall in this time?
vredina [299]

Gravitational acceleration is approx 9.8 m/s
Time is 7s

a=9.8 m/s
t=7s

a = d/t^2

therefore:

d = a * t^2

d = 9.8 * 7^2

d = 9.8 * 49

d = 480.2 [m]

What is true about X-rays and microwaves?
erma4kov [3.2K]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. X-rays have greater frequency than microwaves. In a electromagnetic spectrum, the order in increasing frequency is as follows:

radio waves,microwaves, terahertz radiation, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation,X-rays<span> and gamma </span>rays<span>.</span>

Which graph represents the solution set of the system of inequalities?<br><br> {−2x+y≤4y&gt;x+2
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The fourth graph is the answer

Explanation:

We have inequalities

-2x+y\leq 4      \rightarrow y\leq 2x+4

y>x+2

For the first inequality all points at or below the graph of y are solutions, and for the second inequality all the points above the graph of y are the solutions. So, the solution to these inequalities are points that are above the graph of y>x+2 and below the graph of y\leq 2x+4. The shaded region in the fourth graph satisfies these conditions.

<em>Looking at other choices, we see that the first two graphs do not even represent the graphs of our inequalities, and the third graph does represent the inequalities but shades the wrong region. </em>

P.S: the graph of the inequality y>x+2  is dashed because   y is "greater than" and not "equal to" x+2, so this indicates that the values on the line y=x+2 are not included. And the graph of the inequality y\leq 2x+4 is a solid line because y is "less than or equal to" 2x+4, so we are including the values on the line y=2x+4, and that's why it's solid.
