Answer:

The other person is right, the answer is they appear to shift towards blue.

This shifts the star’s spectral lines toward the blue end of the spectrum. If the star is moving away from us, it’s waves are effectively stretched out when they reach earth, increasing their wavelength. This shifts the star’s spectral lines toward the red end of the spectrum.

In most cases, what happens to a liquid when it cools?

erik [133]

Answer:

Option (A) and (F)

Explanation:

As the liquid cools down, it means the temperature decreases the density of the liquid increases in most o the cases.

Now the volume is inversely proportional to the density of substance so density increases.

The angle between the two force of magnitude 20N and 15N is 60 degrees (20N force being horizontal) determine the resultant in m

BARSIC [14]

A) The resultant force is 30.4 N at $25.3^{\circ}$

B) The resultant force is 18.7 N at $43.9^{\circ}$

Explanation:

In order to find the resultant of the two forces, we must resolve each force along the x- and y- direction, and then add the components along each direction to find the components of the resultant.

The two forces are:

$F_1 = 20 N$ at $0^{\circ}$ above x-axis

$F_2 = 15 N$ at $60^{\circ}$ above y-axis

Resolving each force:

$F_{1x}=F_1 cos \theta = (20)(cos 0)=20 N\\F_{1y}=F_1 sin \theta =(20)(sin 0)=0 N$

$F_{2x}=F_2 cos \theta = (15)(cos 60)=7.5 N\\F_{2y}=F_2 sin \theta =(15)(sin 60)=13.0 N$

So, the components of the resultant are:

$F_x = F_{1x}+F_{2x}=20+7.5 = 27.5 N\\F_y = F_{1y}+F_{2y}=0+13.0=13.0 N$

And the magnitude of the resultant is:

$F=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}=\sqrt{27.5^2+13.0^2}=30.4 N$

And the direction is:

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{F_y}{F_x})=tan^{-1}(\frac{13.0}{27.5})=25.3^{\circ}$

In this case, the 15 N is applied in the opposite direction to the 20 N force. Therefore we need to re-calculate its components, keeping in mind that the angle of the 15 N force this time is

$\theta=180^{\circ}-60^{\circ}=120^{\circ}$
