Suppose that you observe light emitted from a distant star to be at a wavelength of 525 nm. The wavelength of light to an observ

er on the distant star is 950 nm. What is the velocity of the star relative to you (in units of the speed of light c), and is it moving towards or away from you?

Answer:

The velocity of the star is 0.532 c.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of observer = 525 nm

Wave length of source = 950 nm

We need to calculate the velocity

If the direction is from observer to star.

From Doppler effect

\lambda_{0}=\sqrt{\dfrac{c+v}{c-v}}\times\lambda_{s}

Put the value into the formula

525=\sqrt{\dfrac{c+v}{c-v}}\times950

\dfrac{c+v}{c-v}=(\dfrac{525}{950})^2

\dfrac{c+v}{c-v}=0.305

c+v=0.305\times(c-v)

v(1+0.305)=c(0.305-1)

v=\dfrac{0.305-1}{1+0.305}c

v=−0.532c

Negative sign shows the star is moving toward the observer.

Hence, The velocity of the star is 0.532 c.

A voltmeter was used to check the coolant and a reading of 0.2 volt with the engine off was measured. A reading of 0.8 volt was
Julli [10]

Answer:

C. Technician B

Explanation:

Excessive Galvanic activity:

To check for excessive galvanic activity, voltmeter is used to check the coolant. If the voltmeter is giving a reading greater than 0.5 V, there is excessive galvanic activity. Excessive galvanic activity is solved by flushing the coolant fluid from engine and refiling it.

Electrolysis problem:

When the system is not properly ground, the cooling system accepts stray current and the coolant becomes an electrolyte which might eat up the radiator. To test for excessive electrolysis, start the engine and turn on all electrical accessories, if the reading is more than 0.5 V, there is electrolysis problem. Ground wires and connections should be checked at this point to stop stray current.

In our case, the first reading is 0.2 V(engine turned off) which is normal and there is no excessive galvanic activity. This means that Technician A is not correct. The second reading is 0.8 V when the engine and all electrical accessories are turned on. This reading is greater than 0.5 V which means there is an electrolysis problem. This means that Technician B is correct and ground wires and connections should be inspected and repaired.

A loudspeaker in a parked car is producing sound whose frequency is 20 510 Hz. A healthy young person with normal hearing is sta
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The car must be moving away from the person.

Explanation:

From Doppler's Effect, we know that when a sound source moves towards a stationary observer, the apparent frequency of that sound increases. While the apparent frequency decreases if the source moves away from the stationary observer.

The audible range of frequencies for a human ear is 20 Hz to 20000 Hz. Therefore, in order for the sound of a loud speaker to be audible for the person, the frequency must decrease below 20000 Hz.

<u>Due to this reason, the car must be moving away from the person.</u>

2.5 g of helium at an initial temperature of 300 K interacts thermally with 9.0 g of oxygen at an initial temperature of 620 K .
muminat

Answer:

Explanation:

2.5 g of He = 2.5 / 4  mole

= .625 moles

9 g of oxygen = 9/32

= .28 mole of oxygen

C_p of He = 3/2 R

C_p of O₂ = 5/2 R

A ) Initial thermal energy of He = 3/2 n R T

= 1.5 x .625 x 8.32 x 300

= 2340 J

Initial thermal energy of O₂ = 5/2 n R T

= 2.5 x .28 x 8.32 x 620

= 3610.88 J

B ) If T be the equilibrium temperature after mixing

gain of heat by helium

= n C_p Δ T

= .625 x 3/2 R x ( T - 300 )

Loss of heat by oxygen

n C_p Δ T

= .28 x 5/2 R x ( 620 - T )

Loss of heat = gain of heat

.625 x 3/2 R x ( T - 300 ) = .28 x 5/2 R x ( 620 - T )

1.875 T- 562.5 = 868- 1.4 T

3.275 T = 1430,5

T = 436.8 K

Thermal energy of He

= 1.5 x .625 x 8.32 x 436.8

= 3407 J

thermal energy of O₂

= 2.5 x .28  x 8.32 x 436.8

= 2543.92 J

C )

Heat energy transferred

=  .28 x 5/2 R x ( 620 - T )

=  .28 x 5/2 x  8.32 x ( 620 - 436.8 )

1066.95 J

Heat will flow from O₂ to He

Final temperature is 436.8 K
