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.

If the opening to the harbor acts just like a single-slit which diffracts the ocean waves entering it, what is the largest angle
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

The angle that the wave would be \theta = sin ^{-1}\frac{2 \lambda}{D}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  the  opening to  the  harbor acts just like a single-slit so a boat in the harbor that at angle equal to the second diffraction minimum would be safe and the  on at angle greater than the diffraction first minimum would be slightly affected

  The minimum is as a result of destructive interference

       And for single-slit this is mathematically represented as

               D sin \ \theta =m \lambda

where D is the slit with

          \theta is the angle relative to the original direction of the wave

         m is the order of the minimum j

        \lambda is the wavelength

Now since in the question we are told to obtain the largest angle at which the boat would be safe

      And the both is safe at the angle equal to the second minimum then

    The the angle is evaluated as

           \theta = sin ^{-1}[\frac{m\lambda}{D} ]

Since for second minimum m= 2

The  equation becomes

               \theta = \frac{2 \lambda}{D}

If a car has a mass of 200 kilograms and produces a force of 500 N, how fast will the car accelerate?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

2.5m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of car  = 200kg

Force on car  = 500N

Unknown:

Acceleration of the car  = ?

Solution:

According to Newton's second law of motion:

      Force  = mass x acceleration

Insert the given parameters and find the acceleration;

         500  = 200 x acceleration

           acceleration = 2.5m/s²
