Name five characteristics of a star that can be determined by measuring its spectrum. Explain how you would use a spectrum to de

termine these characteristics.
Physics
1 answer:
Ne4ueva [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Chemical composition, Temperature, Radial velocity, Size or diameter of the star, Rotation.

Explanation:  

Elemental abundances are determined by analyzing the relative strengths of the absorption lines in the spectrum of a star.

The Spectral class to which the star belongs gives the information related to the temperature of the star. It is the spectral lines that determine the spectral class O B A F G K M are the spectral classes.

By measuring the wavelengths of the lines in the star's spectrum gives the radial velocity. Doppler shift is the method used to find the radial velocity.

A star can be classified as a giant or a dwarf . A giant star will have narrow width spectral lines whereas a dwarf star has wider spectral lines.

Broadening of the spectral lines will determine the star's rotation.

State the methods of nuclear fission waste disposal and the suitability of each method.
Alexeev081 [22]
<span>Most low-level radioactive waste (LLW) is typically sent to land-based disposal immediately following its packaging for long-term management. This means that for the majority (~90% by volume) of all of the waste types produced by nuclear technologies, a satisfactory disposal means has been developed and is being implemented around the world.
</span>

Radioactive wastes are stored so as to avoid any chance of radiation exposure to people, or any pollution.The radioactivity of the wastes decays with time, providing a strong incentive to store high-level waste for about 50 years before disposal.Disposal of low-level waste is straightforward and can be undertaken safely almost anywhere.Storage of used fuel is normally under water for at least five years and then often in dry storage.<span>Deep geological disposal is widely agreed to be the best solution for final disposal of the most radioactive waste produced.

Explain how to find the angle between two nonzero vectors. Choose the correct answer below. A. The angle between two nonzero vec
kozerog [31]

Answer:

θ = Cos⁻¹[A.B/|A||B|]

A. The angle between two nonzero vectors can be found by first dividing the dot product of the two vectors by the product of the two vectors' magnitudes. Then taking the inverse cosine of the result

Explanation:

We can use the formula of the dot product, in order to find the angle between two non-zero vectors. The formula of dot product between two non-zero vectors is written a follows:

A.B = |A||B| Cosθ

where,

A = 1st Non-Zero Vector

B = 2nd Non-Zero Vector

|A| = Magnitude of Vector A

|B| = Magnitude of Vector B

θ = Angle between vector A and B

Therefore,

Cos θ = A.B/|A||B|

<u>θ = Cos⁻¹[A.B/|A||B|]</u>

Hence, the correct answer will be:

<u>A. The angle between two nonzero vectors can be found by first dividing the dot product of the two vectors by the product of the two vectors' magnitudes. Then taking the inverse cosine of the result</u>

A rock is dropped from a height of 3,245 m. If we ignore air resistance, how fast will it be travelling after it falls for 3.4 s
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

<u>954.4m/s</u>

Explanation:

For a free falling object,it has constant acceleration and a changing velocity.

By using the velocity-time formula, the velocity can be obtained.

The height the rock travelled is the distance.

From,

Velocity (v) = Distance (d) / Time(t)

v = 3245m/3.4s

v = <u>954.4m/s</u>

That js the answer I got. Hope it's right.

Which of newton's three laws is the hardest to describe or explain when viewing common occurrences?
choli [55]

Newton's second law is the hardest to describe as it is about momentum  (F = ma), and a lot of people don't know the concept of momentum.

Newton's first law of motion:- every object moves in a straight line unless acted upon by a force.

Newton's 2nd law of motion:-the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force exerted and inversely proportional to the item's mass. Newton's 2nd law is a quantitative description of the changes that a force can produce on the motion of a body. It states that the time rate of change of the momentum of a body is equal in both magnitude and direction to the force imposed on it.

Newton's 3rd law of motion:- For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction.
