The only thing we know of that can red-shift the light of a star is motion away from us.
Gelneren [198K]4 years ago

The correct answer is D. the star is getting farther away.

When the light has red-shifted, it shows that everything is moving away from a certain point. This is known as the Doppler effect and proves the Big Bang (which would be the center point that everything is moving away from). Just as a 'for your information', blue shift is when the star is moving towards us.

Hope I helped :)

Why does a magnet attract a steel nail
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The nail will stick to the bar magnet because it will become magnetized, and it's metal. The presence of the nearby north pole rearranges the magnetic domains inside the steel so that their south poles all point toward the north pole of the permanent magnet. As a result, the other end of the nail becomes a north pole.Magnets attract iron due to the influence of their magnetic field upon the iron. ... When exposed to the magnetic field, the atoms begin to align their electrons with the flow of the magnetic field, which makes the iron magnetized as well. This, in turn, creates an attraction between the two magnetized objects.

F all of the energy in a falling object's gravitational potential energy store is transferred to its kinetic energy store by the
stepladder [879]

Answer:

The options are not shown, so let's derive the relationship.

For an object that is at a height H above the ground, and is not moving, the potential energy will be:

U = m*g*H

where m is the mass of the object, and g is the gravitational acceleration.

Now, the kinetic energy of an object can be written as:

K = (1/2)*m*v^2

where v is the velocity.

Now, when we drop the object, the potential energy begins to transform into kinetic energy, and by the conservation of the energy, by the moment that H is equal to zero (So the potential energy is zero) all the initial potential energy must now be converted into kinetic energy.

Uinitial = Kfinal.

m*g*H = (1/2)*m*v^2

v^2 = 2*g*H

v = √(2*g*H)

So we expressed the final velocity (the velocity at which the object impacts the ground) in terms of the height, H.

A rowboat has a momentum of 241.5 kg*m/s. if the rowboat has a mass of 115kg, what its it's speed?
Lera25 [3.4K]
Momentum = mass*velocity(or speed)

241.5 kg*m/s = 115 kg * v
v = 241.5 kg*m/s / 115 kg = 2.10 m/s
