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.

A Red Rider bb gun uses the energy in a compressed spring to provide the kinetic energy for propelling a small pellet of mass 0.

Kay [80]

Answer:

a.6.5025 J

b.6.5025 J

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of pellet,m=0.27 g= $0.27\times 10^{-3} kg$

1 kg=1000 g

Spring constant,k=1800 N/m

x=8.5 cm= $8.5\times 10^{-2} m$

1m=100 cm

a.Potential energy stored in the compressed spring is given by

P.E= $\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

$P.E=\frac{1}{2}(1800)(8.5\times 10^{-2})^2$

$P.E=6.5025 J$

b.By using law of conservation of energy

P.E of spring=K.E of the pellet

K.E of the pellet=6.5025 J

What is potential energy

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

The potential energy is the energy possessed by the body by the position relative to other things. It is also known as stored energy

The formula is: P.E = mgh

P.E = mass * gravitational energy * height

If a car is taveling with a speed 6 and comes to a curve in a flat road with radius ???? 13.5 m, what is the minumum value the c

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

$\mu_s \geq 0.27$

Explanation:

The centripetal force acting on the car must be equal to mv²/R, where m is the mass of the car, v its speed and R the radius of the curve. Since the only force acting on the car that is in the direction of the center of the circle is the frictional force, we have by the Newton's Second Law:

$f_s=\frac{mv^{2}}{R}$

But we know that:

$f_s\leq \mu_s N$

And the normal force is given by the sum of the forces in the vertical direction:

$N-mg=0 \implies N=mg$

Finally, we have:

$f_s=\frac{mv^{2}}{R} \leq \mu_s mg\\\\\implies \mu_s\geq \frac{v^{2}}{gR} \\\\\mu_s\geq \frac{(6\frac{m}{s}) ^{2}}{(9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}})(13.5m) }\\\\\mu_s\geq0.27$

So, the minimum value for the coefficient of friction is 0.27.
