The Doppler method can be used to estimate the semimajor axis of a planet's orbit by: a. measuring the time it takes for the star's line-of-sight velocity to cycle from peak to peak, and using Newton's version of Kepler's Third law.
b. measuring the speed at which the star orbits the mutual center-of-mass of the star and planet, and using Newton's theory of gravity.
c. measuring the amount by which the starlight is reduced when the planet transits.
d. measuring the asymmetries in the velocity curve.

The dipole moment of the water molecule (h2o) is 6.17x10^-30 c.m. consider a water molecule located at the origin whose dipole moment p points in the +x-direction. a chlorine ion ( of charge-1.60x10^-19c , is located at x=3.00x10^-9m . assume that is much larger than the separation d between the charges in the dipole, so that the approximate expression for the electric field along the dipole axis can be used. a) find the magnitude of the electric force that the water molecule exerts on the chlorine ion. b) what is the direction of the electric force. -x-direction or +x-direction c) is this force attractive or repulsive?
