What information do we know about the known exoplanets? a. estimates of orbits and masses b. complete composition c. precise mas
LenKa [72]

<em>The correct option is </em><em>A</em>. The information we know about the known exoplanets is estimates of orbits and masses.

<h3>What is exoplanets?</h3>

An exoplanet or extrasolar planet is a planet outside the Solar System.

In other words, exoplanet is any planet beyond our solar system.

<h3>Characteristics of exoplanets</h3>

exoplanets are known for the following characteristics;

  • they are usually hot
  • they can orbit their stars so tightly that a “year” lasts only a few days
  • they can orbit two suns at once

Thus, the information we know about the known exoplanets is estimates of orbits and masses.

A child on a bridge throws a rock straight down to the water below. The point where the child released the rock is 82 m above th
eimsori [14]

Answer:

40 m/s

Explanation:

given,

height of the fall, h = 82 m

time taken to fall, t = 1.3 s

rock velocity, v = ?

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

rock is released initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

using equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 a s

v² = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 82

v² = 1607.2

v = 40 m/s

hence, rock's velocity is equal to 40 m/s

What do astronomers use in addition to parallax to find the actual distance of stars that are close to Earth?
IgorLugansk [536]

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

https://science.howstuffworks.com/question224.htm

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

https://www.space.com/30417-parallax.html

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

A person kicks a ball off of a 50m high cliff with a speed of 10 m/s. How long will it take the ball to hit the ground? * 7 poin
Musya8 [376]

Presumably, the ball is kicked parallel to the ground below the cliff, so its altitude <em>y</em> at time <em>t</em> is

y(t)=50\,\mathrm m-\dfrac12gt^2

where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity.

The ball hits the ground when <em>y</em> = 0:

0 = 50\,\mathrm m-\dfrac12gt^2

t^2=\dfrac{100\,\mathrm m}g

t=\dfrac{10}{9.80}\,\mathrm s\approx\boxed{3.2\,\mathrm s}
