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 ?

Compare the time period of two simple pendulums of length 4m and 16m at a place.
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

the period of the 16 m pendulum is twice the period of the 4 m pendulum

Explanation:

Recall that the period (T) of a pendulum of length (L)  is defined as:

T=2\,\pi\,\sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }

where "g" is the local acceleration of gravity.

SInce both pendulums are at the same place, "g" is the same for both, and when we compare the two periods, we get:

T_1=2\,\pi\,\sqrt{\frac{4}{g} } \\T_2=2\,\pi\,\sqrt{\frac{16}{g} } \\ \\\frac{T_2}{T_1} =\sqrt{\frac{16}{4} } =2

therefore the period of the 16 m pendulum is twice the period of the 4 m pendulum.

When a certain air-filled parallel-plate capacitor is connected across a battery, it acquires a charge of magnitude 172 μC on ea
crimeas [40]

Answer:

k = 2.279

Explanation:

Given:

Magnitude of charge on each plate, Q = 172 μC

Now,

the capacitance, C of a capacitor is given as:

C = Q/V

where,

V is the potential difference

Thus, the capacitance due to the charge of 172 μC will be

C = \frac{(172\ \mu C)}{V}

Now, when the when the additional charge is accumulated

the capacitance (C') will be

C' = \frac{(172+220)\ \mu C)}{V}

or

C' = \frac{(392)\ \mu C)}{V}

now the dielectric constant (k) is given as:

k=\frac{C'}{C}

substituting the values, we get

k=\frac{\frac{(392\ \mu C)}{V}}{\frac{(172)\ \mu C)}{V}}

or

k = 2.279

Two identical cars, one on the moon and one on the earth, have the same speed and are rounding banked turns that have the same r
Naily [24]

Answer:

The value of the centripetal forces are same.

Explanation:

Given:

The masses of the cars are same. The radii of the banked paths are same. The weight of an object on the moon is about one sixth of its weight on earth.

The expression for centripetal force is given by,

F_{c} = \dfrac{mv^{2}}{r}

where, m is the mass of the object, v is the velocity of the object and r is the radius of the path.

The value of the centripetal force depends on the mass of the object, not on its weight.

As both on moon and earth the velocity of the cars and the radii of the paths are same, so the centripetal forces are the same.
