Why is it very hard to use the Doppler shift method of detecting planets to discover a planet like Earth

Doppler shift method cannot be used to detect a planet like earth because the mass of Earth is very less.

What is Doppler's effect?

The Doppler effect is produced when an apparent upward shift in frequency of a moving source of waves is observed by the observer towards which the source is approaching also when an apparent downward shift in frequency of observed by the observer when the source is receding.

In astronomy Doppler effect is used by observing the shift in frequency of electromagnetic waves produced by moving stars in our galaxy and beyond. This takes place in the manner:

  • Electromagnetic radiation emitted by stars of distant galaxies that appear to be shifted downward in frequency show a red shift. This takes place when the star is rotating in its cluster directed away from the Earth.
  • Electromagnetic radiation emitted by stars of distant galaxies that appear to be shifted upwards in frequency show a blue shift. This takes place when the star is rotating in its cluster directed towards the Earth.

The Doppler shift method is useful for greater celestial masses. The mass of earth is very less in comparison, thus the Doppler shift method cannot be used to discover a planet like Earth.

If gravity did not affect the pain of a horizontally thrown ball the ball would
Drupady [299]

If gravity had no effect on a ball after you threw it ... and there also
were no air to slow it down ... then the ball would continue traveling
in a straight line, in whatever direction you threw it. 

That's the heart and soul of Newton's laws of motion ... any object
keeps moving at the same speed, and in a straight line in the same
direction, until a force acts on it to change its speed or direction.\

If you threw the ball horizontally, then it would keep moving in the
same direction you threw it.  But don't forget:  The Earth is not flat.
The Earth is a sphere.  So, as the ball kept going farther and farther
in the same straight line, the Earth would curve away from it, and it
would look like the ball is getting farther and farther from the ground.

An object experiences an acceleration of -6.8m/s^2. As a result, it accelerates from 54m/s to a complete stop. how much distance
Kipish [7]

Answer:

210 m

Explanation:

Given:

a = -6.8 m/s²

v₀ = 54 m/s

v = 0 m/s

Find: Δx

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(0 m/s)² = (54 m/s)² + 2 (-6.8 m/s²) Δx

Δx ≈ 210 m

What is the magnitude of an electric field in which the electric force on a proton is equal in magnitude to its weight?Use 1.67×
vazorg [7]

The electric force on the proton is:

F = Eq

F = electric force, E = electric field strength, q = proton charge

The gravitational force on the proton is:

F = mg

F = gravitational force, m = proton mass, g = gravitational acceleration

Since the electric force and gravitational force balance each other out, set their magnitudes equal to each other:

Eq = mg

Given values:

q = 1.60×10⁻¹⁹C, m = 1.67×10⁻²⁷kg, g = 9.81m/s²

Plug in and solve for E:

E(1.60×10⁻¹⁹) = 1.67×10⁻²⁷(9.81)

E = 1.02×10⁻⁷N/C
