If the Earth and distant stars were stationary (motionless) in space, what would we observe about the wavelength from these star

s?
A.Wavelengths measured would match the actual wavelengths emitted.
B.Wavelengths measured would be shorter than the actual wavelengths emitted.
C.Wavelengths measured would be longer than the actual wavelengths emitted.

If a star is moving toward us in space, what would we observe about the wavelength from these stars?

A.Wavelengths measured would be shorter than the actual wavelengths emitted.

B.Wavelengths measured would match the actual wavelengths emitted.

C.Wavelengths measured would be longer than the actual wavelengths emitted.

There's no such thing as "stationary in space".  But if the distance
between the Earth and some stars is not changing, then (A) w<span>avelengths
measured here would match the actual wavelengths emitted from these
stars. </span><span>

</span><span>If a star is moving toward us in space, then (A) Wavelengths measured
would be shorter than the actual wavelengths emitted from that star.

</span>In order to decide what's actually happening, and how that star is moving, 
the trick is:  How do we know the actual wavelengths the star emitted ?

A sprinter with a mass of 80 kg accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 s. What is the runner's acceleration?
sertanlavr [38]
Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change) = 9/3 = <em>3 m/s²</em> .

His mass makes no difference.

When waves superimpose and make bigger amplitudes what form of interference is that
eimsori [14]

Answer:

Constructive Interference

Explanation:

Constructive Interference occurs when two waves superimpose and make bigger amplitudes.

In constructive interference, the crests of one wave fall on the crests of second wave and the amplitudes add up. The amplitude of the resultant wave is equal to sum of the amplitude of the individual waves. Similarly, the trough of first wave falls on the trough of other wave and they superimpose to create the trough of the resultant wave.

For Example, In the attachment, two waves A and B superimpose and demonstrate Constructive interference to create the wave C.

Find the gravitational potential energy of an 84 kg person standing atop Mt. Everest at an altitude of 8848 m. Use sea level as
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

E=7.28\times 10^6\ J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a person, m = 84 kg

The person is standing at a top of Mt. Everest at an altitude of 8848 m

We need to find the gravitational potential energy of the person. We know that the gravitational potential energy is possessed due to the position of an object. It is given by :

E = mgh, g is the acceleration due to gravity

E=84\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 8848\ m\\\\E=7283673.6\ J\\\\E=7.28\times 10^6\ J

So, the gravitational potential energy of the person is 7.28\times 10^6\ J
