Answer: 4nmeter

Explanation: The two observer a and b will measure the same wavelength since the speed of the space craft is very small compared with the speed of light c. That is

V which is the speed of space craft 15000km/s = 15000000m/s

Comparing this with the speed of light c 3*EXP(8)m/s we have

15000000/300000000

= 0.05=0.1

Therefore the speed of the space craft V in terms of the speed of light c is 0.1c special relativity does not apply to object moving at such speed. So the wavelength would not be contracted it will remain same for both observers.

Answer:of

Astronomers living on planets a measure λO = 3.80_nm

Astronomers living on planets b measure λO = 4.2_nm

Explanation:

Astronomers living on planets a measure λO = 3.80_nm

Astronomers living on planets b measure λO = 4.2_nm

a.) Speed of the radio wave

c = 299792458 m/s.

λO = λS(c − vS)/(c − vO)

λO = observed wavelength

λS = source constant wavelength = 4 nm

c = wavefront constant velocity = 299792458 m/s

vS = velocity of the source = 15000 km/s

vO = velocity of the observer 0

Brut [27]

Answer: 529.9 Hz

Explanation:

Here we need to use the Doppler equation, so we have:

f' = f*(v + v0)/(v - vs)

Here, f is the frequency = 500Hz

v is the velocity of the wave, = 334m/s

v0 is the velocity of the observer = 20m/s

vs is the velocity of the source = 0m/s

Then we have:

f' = 500Hz*(334m/s + 20m/s)/(334m/s) = 529.9 Hz

If a football player collides with a goal post, what forces are at work?
AlekseyPX
When a footballer collides with the goal post, the forces at work are the action and reaction forces. The player will exert an action force on the goal post, and then a reaction force from the goal post will stop the player. The reaction force call will cause pain and even injury to the player.

A crate slides down a ramp that makes a 20∘ angle with the ground. to keep the crate from sliding too fast, paige pushes back on
shutvik [7]
The solution is:
Paige's force is (somewhat) against the direction of motion: Work = F * d Where F is the force; andd is the distance
Our f is 64 N and our distance is 20 and -3.6Plugging that in our equation will give us:
= 64N * cos20º * -3.6m = -217 J
