25 POINTS + BRAINLIEST Which among the various techniques of stellar distance measurement is the best one? Discuss the merits and demerits of all the techniques (stellar parallax, using absolute and apparent magnitudes, using periods of variable stars, and red shifts of very distant objects).

Explain earth's motion, using the terms "precession" and "rotation" in your answer.

**urgent** roberto plans to use two transformers to reduce a voltage of 120 v to 4 v. he uses a transformer that has 300 coils in the primary winding and 50 coils in the secondary winding. he has four other transformers, as listed in the table. which transformer should roberto use to have an ending voltage of 4 v? a- w b-xc- yd- z

Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.550 m/s intend to dock. the first has a mass of 2.50 ✕ 103 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50 ✕ 103 kg. assume that the positive direction is directed from the second satellite towards the first satellite. (a) calculate the final velocity after docking, in the frame of reference in which the first satellite was originally at rest.(b) what is the loss of kinetic energy in this inelastic collision? (c) repeat both parts, in the frame of reference in which the second satellite was originally at rest. final velocity(d) loss of kinetic energy = ?
