The transit method requires watching the light output of a star over long periods of time. A transit occurs when the planet crosses in front of its star from earths point of view. Since there is a small object (the planet) now blocking some of the star, it appears to dim a little bit for a while until the planet passes. If we are in a position where that occurs regularly (most paths of planets do not happen to be on the line of sight between earth and their star) we can deduce the period of orbit. From the amount of dimming and the period you can estimate the mass
Pitch is way to relate a sound to its frequency. High frequencies have high pitches (think of a flute), and low frequencies have low pitches (think of a bass). <span>

Answer:

Explanation:
we know that



as we see that 
relative error
Where X_1 IS HEIGHT OF ROCK
IS THE HEIGHT OF ROAD
= uncertainity in measuring distance

Putting all value to get uncertainity in angle

solving for
we get

Answer:
ΔU = - 310.6 J (negative sign indicates decrease in internal energy)
W = 810.6 J
Explanation:
a.
Using first law of thermodynamics:
Q = ΔU + W
where,
Q = Heat Absorbed = 500 J
ΔU = Change in Internal Energy of Gas = ?
W = Work Done = PΔV =
P = Pressure = 2 atm = 202650 Pa
ΔV = Change in Volume = 10 L - 6 L = 4 L = 0.004 m³
Therefore,
Q = ΔU + PΔV
500 J = ΔU + (202650 Pa)(0.004 m³)
ΔU = 500 J - 810.6 J
<u>ΔU = - 310.6 J (negative sign indicates decrease in internal energy)</u>
<u></u>
b.
The work done can be simply calculated as:
W = PΔV
W = (202650 Pa)(0.004 m³)
<u>W = 810.6 J</u>
Answer:
h = 5.09 m
Explanation:
Applying the Law of conservation of energy to this situation, we can write:

where,
h = height of the hill = ?
v = speed of cart at the end = 10 m/s
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
Therefore,

<u>h = 5.09 m</u>
