Answer:
trigonometry (guessing)
Explanation:
ellipse: is the shape of an orbit : looks like an oval
periapsis : shortest distance between something like the moon and the planet its orbiting around like the earth
parallax is triangulation. like how gps works. looking at a star one day and then looking at it again 6 months later, an astronomer can see a difference in the viewing angle for the star. With trigonometry, the different angles yield a distance. This technique works for stars within about 400 light years of earth

By comparing the intrinsic brightness to the star's apparent brightness we can calculate the distance of stars
1/r^2 rule states that the apparent brightness of a light source is proportional to the square of its distance.Jan 11, 2022

alternative distance measurement for stars used by most astronomers is the parsec. A star with a parallax angle of 1 arcsecond has a distance of 1 parsec, or 1 parsec per arcsecond of parallax, which is about 3.26 light years

Answer:
x = 6.94 m
Explanation:
For this exercise we can find the speed at the bottom of the ramp using energy conservation
Starting point. Higher
Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v₀² + m g h
Final point. Lower
= K = ½ m v²
Em₀ = Em_{f}
½ m v₀² + m g h = ½ m v²
v² = v₀² + 2 g h
Let's calculate
v = √(1.23² + 2 9.8 1.69)
v = 5.89 m / s
In the horizontal part we can use the relationship between work and the variation of kinetic energy
W = ΔK
-fr x = 0- ½ m v²
Newton's second law
N- W = 0
The equation for the friction is
fr = μ N
fr = μ m g
We replace
μ m g x = ½ m v²
x = v² / 2μ g
Let's calculate
x = 5.89² / (2 0.255 9.8)
x = 6.94 m
careful observation, curiosity, logic, creativity, skepticism, and objectivity
