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 car slows down from speed of 72
Nastasia [14]

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity = 72km/hr

Final velocity  = 0km/hr

Time taken  = 25s

Unknown:

Acceleration = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, convert km/hr to m/s;

           1000m = 1km

           3600s = 1hr

  72km/hr;

          1km/hr  = 0.278m/s

         72km/hr = 0.278 x 72  = 20.02m/s

Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by the time taken;

       Acceleration = \frac{final velocity - initial velocity }{time}  

       Acceleration  = \frac{0 - 20.02}{25}   = -0.8m/s

The car  is actually decelerating at a rate of 0.8m/s

elena55 [62]

Answer: be alert for pedestrians near the bus.

Explanation: Due to road accidents many Governments around the world has adopted and put in place certain rules and regulations with regards to road safety, this is so to prevent the or reduce the chances of accidents happening.

Road safety rules are rules and guidelines put in place by Government in order to prevent road accidents and maintain a free flow of traffic. An example of such rules is 'be alert for pedestrians near the bus ' when approaching a local bus that is stopped.

If you wanted to find the area of the hot filament in a light bulb, you would have to know the temperature (determinable from th
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

To find out the area of the hot filament of a light bulb, you would need to know the temperature, the power input, the Stefan-Boltzmann constant and <u>Emissivity of the Filament</u>.

Explanation:

The emissive power of a light bulb can be given by the following formula:

E = σεAT⁴

where,

E = Power Input or Emissive Power

σ = Stefan-Boltzmann constant

ε = Emissivity

A = Area

T = Absolute Temperature

Therefore,

A = E/σεT⁴

So, to find out the area of the hot filament of a light bulb, you would need to know the temperature, the power input, the Stefan-Boltzmann constant and <u>Emissivity of the Filament</u>.
