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 73.9 kg weight-watcher wishes to climb a
Tresset [83]

The height to which the weight-watcher must climb to work off the equivalent 991 (food) Calories is 0.59 Km

<h3>How to determine the energy. </h3>

1 food calorie = 103 calories

Therefore,

991 food calories = 991 × 103

991 food calories = 102073 calories

Multiply by 4.2 to express in joule (J)

991 food calories = 102073 × 4.2

991 food calories = 428706.6 J

<h3>How to determine the height </h3>
  • Energy (E) = 428706.6 J
  • Mass (m) = 73.9 kg
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Height (h) =?

E = mgh

Divide both side by mg

h = E / mg

h = 428706.6 / (73.9 × 9.8)

h = 591.95 m

Divide by 1000 to express in km

h = 591.95 / 1000

h = 0.59 Km

Research indicates that an all have the same capacity for language as humans. true or false
Svetradugi [14.3K]

false (if your talking about animals) animals cannot form letters. Animals cant do this because they dont have voice boxes capable pf creating a word, thats why animals chirp, yip, bark, cry, and chitter.

How can i find the acceleration?(rope and grinder have no weight) *** sorry for my english
Finger [1]
The main formula to be used here is

                       Force = (mass) x (acceleration).

We'll get to work in just a second.  But first, I must confess to you that I see
two things happening here, and I only know how to handle one of them.  So
my answer will be incomplete, but I believe it will be more reliable than the
first answer that was previously offered here.

On the <u>right</u> side ... where the 2 kg and the 3 kg are hanging over the same
pulley, those weights are not balanced, so the 3 kg will pull the 2kg down, with
some acceleration.  I don't know what to do with that, because . . .

At the <em>same time</em>, both of those will be pulled <u>up</u> by the 10 kg on the other side
of the upper pulley.

I think I can handle the 10 kg, and work out the acceleration that IT has.

Let's look at only the forces on the 10 kg:

-- The force of gravity is pulling it down, with the whatever the weight of 10 kg is.

-- At the same time, the rope is pulling it UP, with whatever the weight of 5 kg is ...
that's the weight of the two smaller blocks on the other end of the rope. 

So, the net force on the 10 kg is the weight of (10 - 5) = 5 kg, downward.

The weight of 5 kg is (mass) x (gravity) = (5 x 9.8) = 49 newtons.

The acceleration of 10 kg, with 49 newtons of force on it, is

     Acceleration = (force) / (mass) = 49/10 = <em>4.9 meters per second²</em>

There's a normal amount of condensation when a AC is running. If it's dripping on the floor, look for the white PVC pipe that is supposed to be there to drain it. If it's coming from inside the unit, call a repair person.
