Given:

mass is 3.1 kilograms

The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s2

Required:

Weight

Solution:

W = mg

W = (3.1 kilograms)( 9.8m/s2)

W = 30.38 Newtons

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

Tomtit [17]

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.
