Answer:

It shows that the galaxies are moving farther away.

Explanation:

When light from the galaxies is shifted towards the longer wavelengths, it is called red shift. When light shifts towards the shorter wavelengths, it is called blue shift. Big bang theory states how the primordial universe started expanding from a hot and dense singularity, in the process of evolution of the universe.

The  universe is expanding always. Galaxies that are a part of the universe keep expanding and move farther away from each other. The galaxies that are very far off appear to  move much faster than the nearby galaxies.

A satellite in outer space is moving at a constant velocity of 20.5 m/s in the +y direction when one of its on board thruster tu
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

a)  V_f = 25.514 m/s

b)  Q =53.46 degrees CCW from + x-axis

Explanation:

Given:

- Initial speed V_i = 20.5 j m/s

- Acceleration a = 0.31 i m/s^2

- Time duration for acceleration t = 49.0 s

Find:

(a) What is the magnitude of the satellite's velocity when the thruster turns off?

(b) What is the direction of the satellite's velocity when the thruster turns off? Give your answer as an angle measured counterclockwise from the +x-axis.

Solution:

- We can apply the kinematic equation of motion for our problem assuming a constant acceleration as given:

                                   V_f = V_i + a*t

                                   V_f = 20.5 j + 0.31 i *49

                                   V_f = 20.5 j + 15.19 i

- The magnitude of the velocity vector is given by:

                                   V_f = sqrt ( 20.5^2 + 15.19^2)

                                   V_f = sqrt(650.9861)

                                  V_f = 25.514 m/s

- The direction of the velocity vector can be computed by using x and y components of velocity found above:

                                 tan(Q) = (V_y / V_x)

                                 Q = arctan (20.5 / 15.19)

                                 Q =53.46 degrees

- The velocity vector is at angle @ 53.46 degrees CCW from the positive x-axis.

How balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is maintained?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer: The balance of oxygen and carbondioxide is made due to respreration and photosinthesis. As we leave carbon dioxide and take in oxygen the ballance of carbon dioxide and oxygen is made. And during the photosinthesis of plants the balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen is made.

Heights of men on a baseball team have a​ bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 166 cm 166 cm and a standard deviation of 5 cm
kaheart [24]

Answer:

95 %

99.7 %

Explanation:

\mu = 166 cm = Mean

\sigma = 5 cm =  Standard deviation

a) 156 cm and 176 cm

166-5\times 2=156

166+5\times 2=176

From the empirical rule 95% of all values are within 2 standard deviation of the mean, so about 95% of men are between 156 cm and 176 cm.

b) 151 cm and 181 cm

166-5\times 3 =151

166+5\times 3=181

The empirical rule tells us that about 99.7% of all values are within 3 standard deviations of the mean, so about 99.7% of men are between 151 cm and 181 cm.
