Usually, Scientists use "Parallax Method" in order to determine the different positions of an object

Hope this helps!

Answer: By Doppler effect

Explanation:

The spectrum of the objects in the universe such as stars and galaxies is taken and studied. The apparent change in the frequency/wavelength of the light suggests the motion of these objects.

If the apparent frequency is greater, the light would be blue -shifted which means it is moving towards Earth and if it is red shifted, it would be moving away from the earth. This is apparent change in observed frequency is known as Doppler's effect which studied to determine the motion of objects in the universe.

the kinetic energy of an object with mass m moving with a velocity of 5 m/s is 25 j what will be its kinetic energy when its vel

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

100 J, 225 J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

In this problem, the initial kinetic energy of the object is

K = 25 J

Then, the velocity is doubled, which means

v' = 2v

Therefore, the new kinetic energy will be

$K'=\frac{1}{2}m(2v)^2 = 4(\frac{1}{2}mv^2)=4K$

Therefore, the kinetic energy has quadrupled:

$K' = 4(25)=100 J$

Later, the velocity is tripled, which means

v'' = 3v

Therefore, the new kinetic energy will be

$K''=\frac{1}{2}m(3v)^2 = 9(\frac{1}{2}mv^2)=9K$

Therefore, the kinetic energy has increased by a factor of 9:

$K' = 9(25)=225 J$

Label these parts on the wave below: Amplitude, Wavelength, Crest, Trough, Rest Position

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Wavelength is the distance between from one crest to another crest or from one trough to another trough. The amplitude is the distance from the midpoint to the crest or trough. Crest is the highest point of the or a wave. Tough is the lowest point of the or a wave. Rest position is the position where it lies on the midpoint line.

Explanation:

I need a diagram to label these parts.
