<h2>Answer: Light waves have a redshift due to the Doppler effect </h2>

The astronomer Edwin Powell Hubble observed several celestial bodies, and when obtaining the spectra of distant galaxies he observed the spectral lines were displaced towards the red (red shift), whereas the nearby galaxies showed a spectrum displaced to the blue.

From there, Hubble deduced that the farther the galaxy is, the more redshifted it is in its spectrum. <u>The same happens with the stars and this phenomenom is known as the Doppler effect. </u>

This phenomenon refers to the change in a wave perceived frequency (or wavelength=color) when the emitter of the waves, and the receiver (or observer in the case of light) move relative to each other. For example, as a star moves away from the Earth, its espectrum turns towards the red.

During a testing process, a worker in a factory mounts a bicycle wheel on a stationary stand and applies a tangential resistive

olganol [36]

Answer:

The force is $F_c = 789.03 \ N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The tangential resistive force is $F_t = 115 \ N$

The mass of the wheel is m = 1.80 kg

The diameter of the wheel is $d = 50.0 cm = 0.5 \ m$

The diameter of the sprocket is $d_c = 8.50 \ cm =0.085 \ m$

The angular acceleration considered is $\alpha = 4.30\ rad/s^2$

Generally the radius of the wheel is

$r = \frac{d}{2}$

=> $r = \frac{0.5}{2}$

=> $r = 0.25 \ m$

Generally the radius of the sprocket is

$r_c = \frac{d_c}{2}$

=> $r_c = \frac{0.085}{2}$

=> $r_c = 0.0425 \ m$

Generally the moment of inertia of the wheel is mathematically represented as

$I = m * r^2$

=> $I = 1.80 * 0.25^2$

=> $I = 1.1125 \ kg \cdot m^2$

Generally the torque experienced by the wheel due to the forces acting on it is mathematically represented as

$\tau = F_c * r_c - F_t * r$

Here $F_c$ is the force acting on the sprocket

$\tau = F_c * 0.0425 - 115 * 0.25$

$\tau = 0.0425F_c - 28.75$

Generally the torques that will cause the wheel to move with $\alpha = 4.30\ rad/s^2$ is mathematically represented as

$\tau = I * \alpha$

$0.0425F_c - 28.75 = I * \alpha$

$0.0425F_c - 28.75 = 1.1125 *4.30$

$F_c = 789.03 \ N$

Is 45 m/s2 a scalar or a vector quantity and how do you know?

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

it is a vector as it has a magnitude and a direction. If it was a scalar quantity it would just have a magnitude and would be 45 m. Acceleration is an example of a vector quantity

What is the final concentration of DD at equilibrium if the initial concentrations are [A][A]A_i = 1.00 MM and [B][B]B_i = 2.00

pentagon [3]

Answer:

A) Concentration of A left at equilibrium of we started the reaction with [A] = 2.00 M and [B] = 2.00 M is 0.55 M.

B) Final concentration of D at equilibrium if the initial concentrations are [A] = 1.00 M and [B] = 2.00 M is 0.90 M.

[D] = 0.90 M

Explanation:

With the first assumption that the volume of reacting mixture doesn't change throughout the reaction.

This allows us to use concentration in mol/L interchangeably with number of moles in stoichiometric calculations.

- The first attached image contains the correct question.

- The solution to part A is presented in the second attached image.

- The solution to part B is presented in the third attached image.
