Answer:

The object is most likely to be a (distant) galaxy

Explanation:

Distance of galaxies are often calculated based on the unit of light year.

The abbreviation, mpc which translates to mega parsec

A mega parsec is equivalent to 3.3 light years.

So, if the astronomer sighted the object from a distance of 28mpc which is equivalent to 28 * 3.3 light-years (92.4 light years); the object is most likely to be a galaxy; a distant galaxy

Ber [7]

Answer: D. it has been demonstrated to be without exception under certain stated conditions.

Explanation:

A <u>Law</u> is an affirmation (something established) based on repeated long-term observation of a phenomenon that has been studied and verified.  

That is: A law is present in all known theories and therefore is considered universal. In addition, a law can not be refuted, nor changed, because its precepts have been proven through various studies.  

<u>Unlike theory</u>, which is the set of rules and principles that describe and explain a particular phenomenon and <u>is subject to changes as new evidence emerges that gives meaning to it.  </u>

Then, based on what is explained above, the law of universal gravitation is a statement that exists because it was rigorously tested and verified, therefore it can not be refuted.

damaskus [11]

If Ross takes two months off from training, his fitness level will reduce in comparison to what it was two months ago.

  • In as little as 3–4 weeks after beginning strength training, Ross will probably experience weight increase, energy loss, diminished balance, diminished strength (making it tougher to carry out daily tasks), and overall fewer fitness levels.
  • Many people mistakenly believe they lose muscle mass far more quickly than they actually do because their muscles' ability to store water and glycogen is declining.
  • A decrease in strength and muscle mass, with beginners experiencing a smaller decline in strength than experienced lifters.
  • Ross will experience Increased VO2 Max from exercise. VO2 Max is almost completely lost in people who train at lower intensities.
