A man pushes his lawnmower with a velocity of +0.75 m/s relative to the ground. A girl rides by on her bike with a velocity of +

6.5 m/s relative to the ground. What is the velocity of the girl relative to the lawnmower? A. 0 m/s B. +5.75 m/s C. +6.5 m/s D. +7.25 m/s

Answer:

B. +5.75 m/s

Explanation:

When there are two bodies, a and b, whose velocities measured by a third observer (in this case, the ground) are $V_a$ and $V_b$ respectively, the relative velocity of B with respect to A is given by:

$V_{ba}=V_b-V_a$

Thus, the velocity of the girl relative to the lawnmower is:

$V_{ba}=6.5\frac{m}{s}-0.75\frac{m}{s}\\V_{ba}=5.75\frac{m}{s}$

If a star is moving away from you at a constant speed, how do the wavelengths of the absorption lines change as the star gets fa

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

they stay shifted the same amount to the red

Explanation:

Redshift is given by

$z=\dfrac{\lambda_o-\lambda_e}{\lambda_e}$

Where,

$\lambda_o$ = Wavelength observed

$\lambda_e$ = Wavelength emitted

Also

Transverse redshift is given by

$1+z=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-v^2/c^2}}$

v = Velocity of object

c = Speed of light = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

So, if the velocity is constant the redshift remains the same

The __________ on the left side of an equation must be balanced with the atoms on the right side of the equation.

zhannawk [14.2K]

Your answer would be total number of atoms! This is because when you have these equations which require total number of atoms.

An artificial satellite is in a circular orbit around a planet of radius r= 2.05 x103 km at a distance d 310.0 km from the plane

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

$\rho = 12580.7 kg/m^3$

Explanation:

As we know that the satellite revolves around the planet then the centripetal force for the satellite is due to gravitational attraction force of the planet

So here we will have

$F = \frac{GMm}{(r + h)^2}$

here we have

$F =\frac {mv^2}{(r+ h)}$

$\frac{mv^2}{r + h} = \frac{GMm}{(r + h)^2}$

here we have

$v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{(r + h)}}$

now we can find time period as

$T = \frac{2\pi (r + h)}{v}$

$T = \frac{2\pi (2.05 \times 10^6 + 310 \times 10^3)}{\sqrt{\frac{GM}{(r + h)}}}$

$1.15 \times 3600 = \frac{2\pi (2.05 \times 10^6 + 310 \times 10^3)}{\sqrt{\frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(M)}{(2.05 \times 10^6 + 310 \times 10^3)}}}$

$M = 4.54 \times 10^{23} kg$

Now the density is given as

$\rho = \frac{M}{\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3}$

$\rho = \frac{4.54 \times 10^{23}}{\frac{4}[3}\pi(2.05 \times 10^6)^3}$

$\rho = 12580.7 kg/m^3$
