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.

A student throws a rock horizontally off a 5.0 m tall building. The rock's initial speed is 6.0 m/s. How long will it take the r
Archy [21]

Answer:

The time taken by the rock to reach the ground is 0.569 seconds.

Explanation:

Given that,

A student throws a rock horizontally off a 5.0 m tall building, s = 5 m

The initial speed of the rock, u = 6 m/s

We need to find the time taken by the rock to reach the ground. Using second equation of motion to find it. We get :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\5=6t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8t^2\\\\t=0.569\ seconds

So, the time taken by the rock to reach the ground is 0.569 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

Even when shut down after a period of normal use, a large commercial nuclear reactor transfers thermal energy at the rate of 150
Sever21 [200]

Answer:2.89\approx 2.9^{\circ}C/s

Explanation:

Given

Power\left ( P\right )=150 MW

mass of core\left ( m\right )=1.60\times 10^5 kg

Average specific heat \left ( C\right )=0.3349 KJ/kg^{\circ}C

And rate of increase of temperature =\frac{\mathrm{d}T}{\mathrm{d} t}

Now

P=mc\frac{\mathrm{d}T}{\mathrm{d} t}

150\times 10^6=1.60\times 10^5\times 0.3349\times \frac{\mathrm{d}T}{\mathrm{d} t}

Thus \frac{\mathrm{d}T}{\mathrm{d} t}=[tex]\frac{1.60\times 10^5\times 0.3349}{150\times 10^6}

\frac{\mathrm{d}T}{\mathrm{d} t}=2.89\approx 2.9^{\circ}C/s

Explain Thomsons model of an atom<br><br><br>please its aurgent fast​
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Thomson's model showed an atom that had a positively charged medium, or space, with negatively charged electrons inside the medium. After its proposal, the model was called a "plum pudding" model because the positive medium was like a pudding, with electrons, or plums, inside.
