I believe the answer is C. People use light years to figure out how far a planet is from either us, the sun, or other planets.

A light-year is a unit of distance.

The definition of a light-year is the distance light travels in one year.

Which situations might cause two observers (A and B) to measure different frequencies for the same vibrating object? Select the

Alex787 [66]

We want to explain why two different observes may measure different frequencies for the same vibrating object.

We will see that the two correct options are:

Observer A is stationary and Observer B is moving.
Observer A and Observer B are moving at different speeds relative to each other.

Let's assume that the vibrating object is a guitar string. Thus, the string makes a noise, and from that noise, we can estimate the frequency at which the string vibrates.

Now there appears a really cool effect, called the Doppler Effect. It says that the apparent change of frequency is due to the motion of the observer or the source of the frequency (or both).

For example, if you move towards the vibrating string, the perceived frequency will be larger, and you will hear a "higher" sound.

While if you move away from the string, the opposite happens, and you will hear a "lower" sound.

Then the only thing that impacts in how we perceive the frequency is our velocity relative to the source.

So, why do observers A and B measure different frequencies?

The two correct answers are:

Observer A is stationary and Observer B is moving.
Observer A and Observer B are moving at different speeds relative to each other.

If the world was not tilted, what would happen to the people living on Earth

Lerok [7]

Answer:

Image result for If the world was not tilted, what would happen to the people living on Earth

If the Earth weren't tilted on its axis, there would be no seasons. And humanity would suffer. When a Mars-size object collided with Earth 4.5 billion years ago, it knocked off a chunk that would become the moon. It also tilted Earth sideways a bit, so that our planet now orbits the sun on a slant

A tall cylinder contains 30 cm of water. Oil is carefully poured into the cylinder, where it floats on top of the water, until t

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The gauge pressure is $P_g = 2058 \ P_a$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The height of the water contained is $h_w = 30 \ cm = 0.3 \ m$

The height of liquid in the cylinder is $h_t = 40 \ cm = 0.4 \ m$

At the bottom of the cylinder the gauge pressure is mathematically represented as

$P_g = P_w + P_o$

Where $P_w$ is the pressure of water which is mathematically represented as

$P_w = \rho_w * g * h_w$

Now $\rho_w$ is the density of water with a constant values of $\rho_w = 1000 \ kg /m^3$

substituting values

$P_w = 1000 * 9.8 * 0.3$

$P_w = 2940 \ Pa$

While $P_o$ is the pressure of oil which is mathematically represented as

$P_o = \rho_o * g * (h_t -h_w )$

Where $\rho _o$ is the density of oil with a constant value

$\rho _o = 900 \ kg / m^3$

substituting values

$P_o = 900 * 9.8 * (0.4 - 0.3)$

$P_o = 882 \ Pa$

Therefore

$P_g = 2940 - 882$

$P_g = 2058 \ P_a$

Parker wound a wire around a large iron nail. He then created an electromagnet by connecting the ends of the wire to different b

padilas [110]

The correct option is C.
From the information given above, one can easily conclude that electromagnetic Y is the strongest because, it produces the higher amount of current compare to the other electromagnets. Electromagnet W is the weakest because it produces the lowest amount of current.
