Is the star moving toward earth, away from earth, or is there not enough information provided to determine its motion?

1 answer:

8 0

If a star is moving towards Earth, shift towards the blue end of the spectrum, this is called blue shift. If the star is moving away from Earth the light from that star will be red and is called red shift .

The faster a star moves towards the earth, the more its light is shifted to higher frequencies. In contrast, if a star is moving away from the earth, its light is shifted to lower frequencies on the color spectrum

if a star is moving towards Earth, it appears to emit light that is shorter in wavelength compared to a source of light that isn't moving. Because shorter wavelengths correspond to a shift towards the blue end of the spectrum, this is called blue shift.

If the star is moving away from Earth, its light will lose energy to reach Earth, therefore the light from that star will be red and is called red shift

I need help with this please

Answer:

1. The respiratory system functions when our involuntary nervous system sends impulses to the muscles in the diaphragm; thereby, causing the lungs to expand and contract.

2. The respiratory system oxygenates the blood which is vital for bodily function as oxygenated blood is carried from your lungs to the left side of your heart, to be circulated throughout the body. Furthermore deoxygenated blood is carried back to the right side of your heart to get oxygenated once more.

3. The other body systems that are crucial for the lungs to function are the nervous system and the muscular system.

4. without the raspatory system the body wouldn't receive any oxygen and the brain would slowly die. therefore, without the brain the heart would stop functioning and atrophy etc.

A particle moves horizontally in uniform circular motion, over a horizontal xy plane. At one instant, it moves through the point

seropon [69]

since centripetal acceleration is always towards the center of the circle

so at the given position where speed and acceleration is given the center coordinate will be towards the center of circle

also we know that

$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}$

$11.6 = \frac{2.5^2}{R}$

$R = 0.54 m$

so the coordinates of the center will be

$(x, y) = (3.20 , (3.5 + 0.54))$

$(x, y) = (3.20, 4.04)$

so the coordinate is (3.20 m, 4.04 m)

(II) You buy a 75-W lightbulb in Europe, where electricity is delivered at 240 V. If you use the bulb in the United States at 12

Elodia [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

You are looking for the resistance to start with

W = E * E/R

75 = 240 * 240 / R

75 * R = 240 * 240

R = 240 * 240 / 75

R = 57600 / 75

R = 768

Now let's see what happens when you try putting this into 110

W = E^2 / R

W = 120^2 / 768

W = 18.75

So the wattage is rated at 75. 18.75 is a far cry from that. I think they intend you to set up a ratio of

18.75 / 75 = 0.25

This is the long sure way of solving it. The quick way is to realize that the voltage is the only thing that is going to change. 120 * 120 / (240 * 240) = 1/2*1/2 = 1/4 = 0.25

Triangle XYZ has vertices X(0, 2), Y(4, 4), and Z(3, –1). Graph △XYZ and its image after a rotation of 180° about (2, –3).

Alla [95]

The image of the triangle is to be formed by rotating ΔXYZ 180 degrees about the (2, -3) as shown in the graph.

<h3>What is Geometry?</h3>

It deals with the size of geometry, region, and density of the different forms both 2D and 3D.

Triangle XYZ has vertices X(0, 2), Y(4, 4), and Z(3, –1).

If the triangle is ΔXYZ. Then the image of the triangle is to be formed by rotating ΔXYZ 180 degrees about the (2, -3) as shown in the graph.
