To determine whether a celestial body is approaching or receding from Earth, astronomers employ The Doppler principle.

There is a Doppler effect for both light and sound.

For instance, astronomers regularly measure the amount to which a star or galaxy's light is "stretched" towards the lower frequency, red region of the spectrum to calculate how quickly the object is travelling away from us.

A wave's frequency changes in response to an observer moving in respect to the wave source, which is known as the Doppler effect or Doppler shift.

The Doppler effect results from the fact that as the wave source moves in the direction of the observer, the crest of each succeeding wave emerges from a location that is closer to the observer than the crest of the previous wave.

As a result, each wave travels to the observer slightly faster than the one before it. As a result, the interval between successive wave crests arriving at the observer is shorter, increasing the frequency.

Consider this situation: A baseball player dives head-first

siniylev [52]

Of the forces listed I think the force of him diving and sliding across the infield acted on the player.

I think so because the slowing down was a result of an action, and I don’t think that should count as An action when it is the result of an action. However, the act of diving head-first into second base and sliding across the infield are independent actions and will cause friction, which will act upon the player.

You are given a parallel plate capacitor that has plates of area 29 cm2 which are separated by 0.0100 mm of nylon (dielectric co

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

20.60 kV

Explanation:

Capacitance of parallel plates without dielectric between them is:

$C=\frac{\varepsilon_{0}A}{d}$

with d the distance between the plates, A the area of the plates and ε₀ the constant $8.85419\times10^{-12}\frac{C^{2}}{Nm^{2}}$ , so :

$C_0=\frac{(8.85419\times10^{-12})(0.0029)}{0.0100\times10^{-3}}=2.57\times10^{-9} F$

But the dielectric constant is defined as:

$k=\frac{C}{C_{0}}$

With C the effective capacitance (with the dielectric) and Co the original capacitance (without the dielectric). So, the new capacitance is:

$C=kC_0$

But capacitance is related with voltage by:

$C=\frac{Q}{V}$

with Q the charge and V the voltage, using the new capacitance and solving for V:

$kC_0=\frac{Q}{V}$

$V=\frac{Q}{kC_0}=\frac{0.18\times10{-3}}{(3.4)(2.57\times10^{-9})}=20599.68V=20.60 kV$
