Answer:
c. detecting the gravitational effect of an orbiting planet (The Wobble"") by looking for the Doppler shifts in the star's spectrum
Explanation:
In a solar system the mass of the star and planets affect each other's orbital movements. The center of gravity of a star and a planet is inside the star. This causes the star to be closer and farther from the Earth at different times. Due to this wobble the star appears to be red shifted when it is farther and blue shifted when it is closer.
When the mass of the planet is high, like a hot Jupiter it causes more wobble i.e., change in radial velocity. This makes it easier to detect the planet. The earliest hot Jupiter found by this method is the planet 51 Pegasi b.
Answer:
The order of increasing energy is as follows
"microwave < infrared < visible < ultraviolet"
Option (A) is correct.
Explanation:
Given:
Arrange the following spectral regions in order of increasing energy: infrared, microwave, ultraviolet, visible.
From the formula of energy in terms of frequency.
Where 
planck constant, 
frequency of light.
From above formula we can conclude that higher frequency means higher energy.
In our case ultraviolet has higher frequency and microwave has lower frequency.
So ultraviolet has higher energy and microwave has lower energy.
microwave < infrared < visible < ultraviolet
Therefore, the order of increasing energy is as follows
"microwave < infrared < visible < ultraviolet"
Answer:
2.68 hours
Explanation:
A.) Suppose the wind blows out from the west (with the air moving east). The pilot should then head her plane to northwest direction to move directly north.
B.) Given that plane flies at a speed of 102 km/h in still air. And the wind blows out from the west (with the air moving east) at a speed of 46 km/h.
The plan resultant speed can be calculated by using pythagorean theorem.
Resultant Speed = Sqrt( 102^2 + 46^2 )
Resultant Speed = Sqrt( 12520)
Resultant speed = 111.89 km/h
From the definition of speed,
Speed = distance/time
Where distance = 300 km
Substitute the resultant speed and the distance into the formula.
111.89 = 300/time
Time = 300/111.89
Time = 2.68 hours
Therefore, it take her 2.68 hours to reach a point 300 km directly north of her srarting point
The conversion for km to inches is:
1km=39370.1in
Now we can solve for 56 km..
56km=39370.1*56
56km=<span> 2204725.6in
Answer=2,204,725.6in</span>
