Why does the presence of redshift in spectra of galaxies support an understanding of an expanding universe?

Explanation:

Doppler's Effect: If a source is moving towards the observer the frequency of the waves emitted by the source will increase( wavelength will decrease). If the source is moving away from the observer the frequency of the waves emitted by the source will decrease( wavelength will increase). The best example of this is the changing frequency of siren of an ambulance as it moves towards us and then away from us.

The same phenomenon can be observed in celestial objects. When the object will move towards us the wavelength will decrease thus the spectrum will be shifted towards the blue part. This is known as blue shift.

If the object moves away from us the wavelength will increase and thus the spectrum will be shifted towards red part. This is know as Red-shift. This is because red has longer wavelength (620 - 750nm) than blue (450-495nm)

Thus if a galaxy shows us red-shifted spectra it means that it is moving away from us. we have observed this phenomenon in various galaxies thus supporting the expanding universe theory.

why does diving 30m below sea level affect our bodies more than being in a building 30m above sea level
Genrish500 [490]
Imagine you are in a swimming pool 30m deep. Assuming you know that water is denser than air, you would know that the 30m of water above you will carry more weight, and press down on your body. Say you were in a swimming pool 60m deep, you would be sandwiched between 30m of water pressing down on you, and the upthrust created by the 30m of water below you.

In a building 30m up, the pressure will be regulated, as you are in a building. The floor will be strong enough to support the weight of the body, and the body will not recoil into itself.

Answer:

∧·······∵·······∴·······Hello :D········∴·······∵·······∧

How is Mass or volume change affect density?: Density is an intensive property of the material or substance and depends upon the relationship between the mass and volume. Unless the mass changes in relation to the volume, the density will not change.

Are mass and volume related?: Mass and volume are two units used to measure objects. Mass is the amount of matter an object contains, while volume is how much space it takes up.We can say that the volume of the object is directly proportional to its mass. As the volume increases the mass of the object increases in direct proportion.

How can density of an object be determined?: If the mass of an object increases then its density increases because density is directly proportional to mass.
