A star’s light is alternately shifted from the blue part of the light spectrum to the red part.

1 answer:

4 0

The answer is A because it is an example of red shift which if basically the Doppler effect , but for light. The wavelength gets longer because it has visible light has shifted into the red end of the spectrum, showing that it has a shorter frequency with a longer wavelength; meaning it is moving away from us

A car of mass 800kg travels a distance of 40m at constant speed in a duration of 2.0s. The car exerts a forward force of 15kN.

Alex17521 [72]

W = F × s

W = 15kN × 40 m

W = 15.000 N × 40 m

W = 600.000 J

P = W/t

P = 600.000 J/2 s

P = 300.000 Watt

P = 300kWatt

Suppose an object’s initial velocity is 10 m/s and its final velocity is 4 m/s. Mass is constant.

Ostrovityanka [42]

The correct answer is:

Work is negative, the environment did work on the object, and the energy of the system decreases.

In fact, the work-energy theorem states that the work done by the system is equal to its variation of kinetic energy:

$W=\Delta K=K_f -K_i$

In this problem, the variation of kinetic energy $\Delta K$ is negative (because the final velocity is less than the initial velocity), so the work is negative, and this means that the environment did work on the object, and its energy decreased.
