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.

During a neighborhood baseball game in a vacant lot, a particularly wild hit sends a 0.148 kg baseball crashing through the pane
mr_godi [17]

Explanation:

Mass of baseball, m = 0.148 kg

Initial speed of the ball, u = 14.5 m/s

Final speed of the ball, v = 11.5 m/s

After crashing through the pane of a second-floor window, the ball shatters the glass as it passes through, and leaves the window at 11.5 m/s with no change of direction. So, the direction of the impulse that the glass imparts to the baseball is in opposite direction to the direction of the balls path.

The change in momentum of the ball is called impulse. It is given by :

J=m(v-u)\\\\J=0.148\times (11.5-14.5) \\\\J=-0.444\ kg-m/s\\\\|J|=0.444\ kg-m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

Normal atmospheric pressure is 1.013 105 Pa. The approach of a storm causes the height of a mercury barometer to drop by 27.1 mm
Burka [1]

Answer:

The atmospheric pressure is 0.97622\times10^{5}\ Pa.

Explanation:

Given that,

Atmospheric pressure P_{atm}= 1.013\times10^{5}\ Pa    

drop height h'= 27.1 mm

Density of mercury \rho= 13.59 g/cm^3

We need to calculate the height

Using formula of pressure

p = \rho g h

Put the value into the formula

1.013\times10^{5}=13.59\times10^{3}\times9.8\times h

h =\dfrac{1.013\times10^{5}}{13.59\times10^{3}\times9.8}

h=0.76\ m

We need to calculate the new height

h''=h - h'

h''=0.76-27.1\times10^{-3}

h''=0.76-0.027

h''=0.733\ m

We need to calculate the atmospheric pressure

Using formula of atmospheric pressure

P=\rho g h

Put the value into the formula

P= 13.59\times10^{3}\times9.8\times0.733

P=0.97622\times10^{5}\ Pa

Hence, The atmospheric pressure is 0.97622\times10^{5}\ Pa.
