A spaceship in our solar system emits a red light that is visible from Earth. As the spaceship moves away from Earth, light is n

o longer visible from the spaceship. Which of the following could explain this? The light can't reach Earth because the spaceship is moving away from Earth so quickly.
B. The light can't reach Earth because the spaceship has passed behind a nearby star.
C. The light has been shifted into the longer-wavelength, infrared section of the light spectrum, which is not visible.
D. The light has been shifted into the shorter-wavelength, ultraviolet section of the light spectrum, which is not visible.

Here are the possibilities I can think of:

-- The spaceship's headlights are pointed the other way, away from Earth.

-- The spaceship is behind a planet, a moon, an asteroid, or even behind
the sun, which is blocking it from our view.

-- The spaceship is moving AWAY from Earth so fast that its light is
red-shifted, to a longer wavelength which, for some odd reason, we
can't detect.  (Choice-C)
(This would require a barn-blasting speed, one that we have no way
to generate yet.)

A charged balloon will stick to a neutral wall. which process is involved?
Leokris [45]
<span>The charged balloon will stick to a neutral wall because of the Static Electricity:
</span>
 The matter is formed by atoms and these atoms are composed of electrons, protons and neutrons (the electrons have a negative charge, the protons have a positive charge and the neutrons have no charge).

 As the balloon is charged (It gained electrons), and the charge of the same sign repel each other, when it approaches the wall, the electrons of this wall will move away, and the positive charges (protons) will remain in the nearest area to the balloon. As the charges of different signs are attracted, the balloon will be stuck to the wall.

How does Sonar work?i will mark brainliest pls help
Fittoniya [83]
I don't like the wording of any of the choices on the list.

SONAR generates a short pulse of sound, like a 'peep' or a 'ping',
focused in one direction.  If there's a solid object in that direction,
then some of the sound that hits it gets reflected back, toward the
source.  The source listens to hear if any of the sound that it sent
out returns to it.  If it hears its own 'ping' come back, it measures
the time it took for the sound to go out and come back.  That tells
the SONAR equipment that there IS a solid object in that direction,
and also HOW FAR away it is.

RADAR works exactly the same way, except RADAR uses radio waves.
