What measurements would you make (assuming you have the money, time, & equipment) to determine a star’s surface temperature? Explain your answer.

use special filters on the telescope

Explanation:

Assuming you have access to a very high-grade telescope you would need to use special filters on the telescope that allows you to view the star's color spectrum. The color spectrum represents different levels of heat that a star is generating. This spectrum ranges from red to blue. Therefore in order to calculate the surface temperature, you would need to apply both a blue and red filter onto the telescope. Once you have these measurements you would need to compare them in order to pinpoint the correct variation of color which would give a close enough estimate of the surface temperature of the star.

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.

the force represented by vector a is normal force. if the hockey puck is moving to the right, when it is hit with a significant force by the hockey stick the puck will move off in a different direction. correct on edge.
