Answer:

The chemicals in the core of the star

Explanation:

The spectrum of a star is of its atmosphere. The absorption or emission spectrum that is obtained indicates the chemical composition of the star's atmosphere. The peak wavelength obtained indicates the surface temperature of the star (using Wien's-Displacement Law). The shift in the spectrum indicates the motion of the star. If there is blueshift, it indicates that it is moving towards us where as if there is a red shift, it indicates that it is moving away from us.

If the intensity of a loud car horn is 0.005 W/m^2 when you are 2 meters away from the source. Calculate the sound intensity lev

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

We have given the intensity of the loud car horn $I=0.005w/m^2$

We know that $I_O=10^{-12}w/m^2$

Now the sound intensity level is given by $\beta =10log\frac{I}{I_0}=10log\frac{0.005}{10^{-12}}=96.98dB$ , which is nearly equal to 97

So the sound intensity level will be 97 dB

So option (c) will be the correct option

A 72.0 kg stuntman jumps from a moving car to a 2.50 kg skateboard at rest. If the velocity of the car is 15.0 m/s to the east w

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

B 14.5 m/s to the east

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum.

In fact, if the system is isolated, the total momentum of the system must be conserved.

Here the total momentum before the stuntman reaches the skateboard is:

$p_i = Mv$

where

M = 72.0 kg is the mass of the stuntman

v = 15.0 m/s is his initial velocity (to the east)

The total momentum after the stuntmen reaches the skateboard is:

$p_f = (M+m)v'$

where

m = 2.50 kg is the mass of the skateboard

v' is the final velocity of the stuntman and the skateboard

Since momentum must be conserved, we have

$p_i = p_f\\Mv=(M+m)v'$

And solvign for v',

$v'=\frac{Mv}{M+m}=\frac{(72.0)(15.0)}{(72.0+2.50)}=14.5 m/s$

And since the sign is the same as v, the direction is the same (to the east).

What causes earthquakes,tsunami, and volcanic eruptions to happen certain places and not others

Dafna11 [192]

These are all caused by tectonic plate movements. Some areas of the globe are more susceptible to these disasters because they are on or near a fault line where the Earth’s tectonic plates rub against one another, slip beside and under each other, or collide. The places near fault lines are more likely to see earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic activity.
