in an experiment which the volume of dry sand is measured by the displacement of water, the sand was slightly wet to begin with.

What effect would this have on the volume of air space that was calculated? on the percentage of the volume that was air space? This is from 8th grade introductory physical science book 6th edition.

It would mean that you could not know the precise volume of the sand. Only the volume of the sand plus the water that was making it damp.

In the experiments listed, the effects are easy to deduce by understanding that the water in the sand adds volume to the 'sample' being measured.

So in the case of calculating air space you would calculate <em>less</em> air space.

How fast and in what direction must galaxy A be moving 17 an absorption Line found at 500 nm for a stationary galaxy 1s shifted
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

v = 0.22 c and wavelength is decrease so galaxy A is move away from stationary galaxy

v = 0.095 c and wavelength is increase so galaxy B come toward stationary galaxy

Explanation:

Given data

found = 500 nm

shifted A = 400 nm

shifted B = 550 nm

to find out

How fast and in what direction is galaxy

solution

we use here formula  that is

(λ) shifted = √(1-β / 1+β)  (λ)found

1-β / 1+β =  (4/5)²         ..................1

1-β / 1+β =  16 / 25

β = 0.22

v/c = 0.22

v = 0.22 c

here wavelength is decrease so galaxy A is move away from stationary galaxy

and

here according to equation 1

and we use shifted 550 nm

so

1-β / 1+β =  (5.5/5)²

1-β / 1+β =  30.25 / 25

β = 0.095

so  v/c = 0.095

v = 0.095 c

here wavelength is increase so galaxy B come toward stationary galaxy
