Answer:

parallax

Due to foreshortening, nearby objects show a larger parallax than farther objects when observed from different positions, so parallax can be used to determine distances. To measure large distances, such as the distance of a planet or a star from Earth, astronomers use the principle of parallax.

Ksju [112]
Use kinematic equations to solve:

1) yf = yo + vo*t + 1/2at²

yf = final height
yo = initial height
vo = initial velocity
a = acceleration
t = time

yf - yo = vo*t + 1/2at²

yf - yo = h

vo = 0

Thus,

h = 1/2at²

h = 1/2(9.8)(12)² = 705.6 m

2) vf = vo + at

vo = 0

Thus,

vf = at

vf = (9.8)(12) = 117.6 m/s

Analogue signals transmit information for such things as _____________.
ivann1987 [24]

Transmission of information in ANY form can be done digitally
or analoguely.

Beginning about 30 years ago, everything slowly started changing
to digital.  Today, all commercial satellite communication, all optical
fiber communication, all internet communication, all computer
communication, all commercial cable communication, all commercial
television, and much of the telephone system, are all digital. 

On your computer ... .pdf,  .jpg, .mp3  etc.  are all digital methods of
moving and storing information.

AM and FM radio are an interesting subject.  They're all still analog.
They could easily be changed to all digital, and it would be a big
improvement, both for the broadcasters and for the listeners. 
BUT ... every AM and FM radio that anybody has now would be
obsolete.   Every single radio would either need to be replaced,
OR you'd need to add a digital decoder to every radio, like we
had to do with our TV sets a few years ago when television
suddenly became all digital.  With AM and FM radios, the decoders
would be bigger, and would cost more, than most of the radios.

And that's why commercial radio broadcasting is still analog.
