Astronomers today use the concept proposed by Christian Doppler and Edwin Hubble to determine the motion of stars and galaxies.

Write a brief essay describing how the Doppler effect explains why some stars are “blue shifted” and others are “red shifted.”

I am not going to write the answer for you, but I will point you in the right direction. Imagine yourself at a railroad track. If the sound of the train is getting fainter then it means the train is moving further away (red shift). If the sound of the train is getting louder, then the train is coming closer (blue shift). Instead of sound, we have frequency of light wave. The higher the frequency, the louder the train. The lower the frequency, the softer the train. Replace trains with stars. Also if you need more of a reference then reread the section on spectroscopy. I really hope this helps, I’m sorry I don’t want to just feed you an answer.

Best,
Mitanshu

A 39.3 g glass thermometer reads 22.0oC before it
ratelena [41]

Answer:

44.85C

Explanation:

Let the specific heat of glass thermometer be 0.84 J/g°C

Let the specific heat of water be 4.186 j/g °C

Let the water density be 1kg/L

136 mL of water = 0.136L of water = 0.136 kg of water = 136 g of water

Since the change of temperature on the glass thermometer is 43.6 - 22 = 21.6 C. We can then calculate the heat energy absorbed to it:

E = m_gc_g \Delta T = 39.3 * 0.84 * 21.6 = 713.06 J

Assume no energy is lost to outside, by the law of energy conservation, this heat energy would come from water

E = m_wc_w(T - T_w) = 713.06

136*4.186(T - 43.6) = 713.06

T - 43.6 = \frac{713.06}{136*4.186} = 1.25

T = 1.25 + 43.6 = 44.85C

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

μ = 0.309

Explanation:

coefficient of kinetic friction is defined as the ratio of two forces, friction force and the normal force acting on the object.

θ = arctan(15/100)= 8.531⁰

In the vertical direction:

N = mgcosθ = 100 *9.8 *cos(8.531) = 970N

law of conservation of energy implies

mgsinθ - μNx = 1/2m(v₂²-v₁²)

100*9.8*sin (8.531) - μ(970*2) = 1/2(100)(0²-3²)

150.6 - 1940μ = 450

- 1940μ = -600.6

μ = 0.309

What are the first three overtones of a bassoon that has a fundamental frequency of 90.0 Hz? It is open at both ends. (The overt
vekshin1

Answer:

f_{2}=180Hz,f_{3}=270Hz,f_{4}=360Hz\\

Explanation:

Given data

Frequency f=90 Hz

To find

First three overtones of bassoon

Solution

The fundamental frequency of bassoon is found by substituting n=1 in below equation

f=v/λ=nv/2L

f_{1}=v/2L

The first overtone of bassoon is found by substituting n=2

So

f_{2}=2v/2L\\f_{2}=2(v/2L)\\as \\f_{1}=v/2L\\So\\f_{2}=2f_{1}\\f_{2}=2(90Hz)\\f_{2}=180Hz

The second overtone of bassoon is found by substituting n=3

So

f_{3}=3v/2L\\f_{3}=3(v/2L)\\as \\f_{1}=v/2L\\So\\f_{3}=3f_{1}\\f_{3}=3(90Hz)\\f_{3}=270Hz

The third overtone of bassoon is found by substituting n=4

So

f_{4}=4v/2L\\f_{4}=4(v/2L)\\as \\f_{1}=v/2L\\So\\f_{4}=4f_{1}\\f_{4}=4(90Hz)\\f_{4}=360Hz

erica [24]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is

a. a compound that conducts electricity when molten

Explanation:

A molecular is solid comprises of a collection of molecules combined together by van der Waals forces and not having covalent or ionic bonds. They are made up of forces atoms or molecules combined by dipole-dipole forces, London dispersion forces or hydrogen bonds. Exmples include graphite and diamonds. The forces between the molecules in  molecular solid is also known as intermolecular forces (IMFs)
