We use a spectrometer to help us determine what stars and planets are made of by passing a light through various chemical elements, different spectral patterns are created. By matching those patterns up to patterns generated in a laboratory environment we can tell what the composition of a distant star or planet is.

Answer:

2 * 10^4

Explanation:

(3 * 10^4)(4 * 10^4) / (6 * 10^4)

= (12 * 10^8)/(6 * 10^4)

= 2 * 10^4

A helicopter pulls upward by means of a rope on a 250 kg crate to lift it UNIFORMLY. What is the net force on the crate?
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The net force = 0

Explanation:

The given information includes;

The mass of the crate = 250 kg

The way the helicopter lifts the crate = Uniformly (constant rate (speed), no acceleration)

In order to pull the crate upwards, the helicopter has to provide a force equivalent to the weight of the crate keeping the helicopter on the ground.

The weight of the crate = The mass of the crate × The acceleration due gravity acting on the crate

The weight of the crate, F_w↓ = 250 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 2,452.5 N

The force the helicopter should provide to just lift the crate, F_{(helicopter)}↑ = The weight of the crate = 2,452.5 N

The net force, F_{(net)} = F_{(helicopter)}↑ - F_w↓ = 2,452.5 N - 2,452.5 N = 0

The net force = 0.

How might you describe the mathematical procedure of finding the displacement when an object travels in two opposite directions?
levacccp [35]
Displacement is a vector quantity. So, you incorporate the vector calculations when you try to determine the resultant vector. This is the shortest path from the starting point to the endpoint. If they are moving on one axis only, you use sign conventions. For motions moving to the left, use the negative sign. If it's moving to the right, then use the positive sign. Now, it the object moves 2 km to the left, and 2 km also to the right, the displacement is zero.

Displacement = 2 km - 2km = 0

Generally, the equation is:
<span>Displacement = Distance of motion to the right - Distance of motion to the left</span>
