Why can parallax only be used to measure distances to stars that are relatively close to earth?

An object moves from position +34m to the position -15m in 15 seconds. what is the total displacement? what is the total velocity?

The period of a pendulum varies directly as the square root of the length of the pendulum and inversely as the square root of the acceleration due to gravity. find the period when the length is 144 cm and the acceleration due to gravity is 980 cm per second squared, if the period is 7pi seconds when the length is 289 cm and the acceleration due to gravity is 980 cm per second squared.
