The only thing we know of that can red-shift the light of a star is motion away from us.

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 :)

A train is moving in the positive direction down a track. First the train speeds up, and then it slows down. What is its acceler

tatuchka [14]

C.

The train first sped up, giving it a positive acceleration in the beginning. This eliminates D since that choice states that it begins with a negative acceleration. This also eliminates B since that choice states that the train only had a negation acceleration.

Next, the train slows down, giving it a negative acceleration. We’re looking for the answer choice that starts with a positive acceleration and ends with a negative one. This makes C the correct answer. Hope this helps!

Why does moon appear to have alot of phases

Bingel [31]

It depends on the angle of the earth, and our point of view. A full moon would occur if we were to be right in front of it.

A 6 kilogram block in outer space is moving at -100 m/s (to the left). It suddenly experiences three forces as shown below.

Alika [10]

Newton's second law and the kinematic relations allow to find the results for the questions about forces and the movement of the block are:

B) the force applied to maintain the system is equilibrium is: F = 0.39 N with an angle of tea = 180º

C) The maximum force is: F = 24 N

D) The time to stop the block is: t = 25 s

Newton's second law establishes a relationship between the net force, the mass, and the acceleration of the body. In the special case that the acceleration is zero it is called the equilibrium condition.

B) They indicate a diagram of forces on the block, let's look for the components of the force that the block maintains with zero acceleration, in the attached we have a free-body diagram including the force applied to keep the system in equilibrium.

x-axis

-10 + 12 sin 60 + Fₓ = 0

Fₓ = 10- 12 sin 60 = -0.39 N

y-axis

12 cos 60 - 6 + F_y = 0

F_y = 6 - 12 cos 60 = 0 N

We can give the result of the force in two ways:

Form of coordinates F = -0.39 i ^ N

Form of module and angle.

Let's use Pythagoras' theorem to find the modulus.

$F = \sqrt{F_x^2 + F_y^2 } \\F = \sqrt{0.39^2 +0^2}$

F = 0.39N

We use trigonometry for the angle.

$tan \theta = \frac{F_y}{F_x}$

tan θ= 0º

The component of the force is negative therefore this angle is in the second quadrant, to measure the angle from the positive side of the x axis in a counterclockwise direction.

θ = 180 + θ'

θ = 180 + 0

θ = 180º

C) if the three forces can be moved and the maximum force occurs when they are all linear.

10+ 6 + 6 + F = 0

F = -24 N

D) if we maintain this force and eliminate the other three, the block stops, let's look for its acceleration.

$a = \frac{F}{m}$

a = $\frac{24}{6}$

a = 4 m / s²

The acceleration is in the opposite direction of the initial velocity of the block v₀ = -100 m / s

If we use kinematic relations.

v = v₀ - a t

Final velocity when stopped is zero

t = $\frac{0-v_o}{a}$

t = 100/4

t = 25 s

In conclusion using Newton's second law and the kinematics relations we can find the results for the questions about the forces and the motion of the block are:

B) the force applied to maintain the system is equilibrium is: F = 0.39 N with an angle of tea = 180º

C) The maximum force is: F = 24 N

D) The time to stop the block is: t = 25 s
