What does a blue shift of the light from a star indicate?

2 answers:

5 0

The only thing we KNOW of that can cause a shift toward the blue end
of the visible spectrum is motion along the line between the source and
the observer, in the direction that decreases the distance between them.

In other words: The star is moving toward us.

Answer:

MOMENTUM

Explanation:

another way of saying getting the smallest force possible is the word " MOMENTUM".

momentum is the ability to keep maintaining,incresing or itself developing to move at constant speed or to increase the speed.

If the velocity of a pitched ball has a magnitude of 44.5 m/sm/s and the batted ball's velocity is 55.5 m/sm/s in the opposite d

Yuliya22 [10]

Incomplete question as the mass of baseball is missing.I have assume 0.2kg mass of baseball.So complete question is:

A baseball has mass 0.2 kg.If the velocity of a pitched ball has a magnitude of 44.5 m/sm/s and the batted ball's velocity is 55.5 m/sm/s in the opposite direction, find the magnitude of the change in momentum of the ball and of the impulse applied to it by the bat.

Answer:

ΔP=20 kg.m/s

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m=0.2 kg

Initial speed Vi=-44.5m/s

Final speed Vf=55.5 m/s

Required

Change in momentum ΔP

Solution

First we take the batted balls velocity as the final velocity and its direction is the positive direction and we take the pitched balls velocity as the initial velocity and so its direction will be negative direction.So we have:

$v_{i}=-44.5m/s\\v_{f}=55.5m/s$

Now we need to find the initial momentum

$P_{1}=m*v_{i}$

Substitute the given values

$P_{1}=(0.2kg)(-44.5m/s)\\P_{1}=-8.9kg.m/s$

Now for final momentum

$P_{2}=mv_{f}\\P_{2}=(0.2kg)(55.5m/s)\\P_{2}=11.1kg.m/s$

So the change in momentum is given as:

ΔP=P₂-P₁

$=[(11.1kg.m/s)-(-8.9kg.m/s)]\\=20kg.m/s$

ΔP=20 kg.m/s

Why might it be helpful to us to measure gravity fluctuations on Earth? What is the most important type of information it gives

Anna [14]

I think it would be helpful to measure gravity so we know how it affects animals and plants and planes and spaceships and cars. I think the most important type of information it gives us is just like making sure people are safe and that there’s nothing we are going on or that the gravity increases at a rate or if it decreases just so we know how to handle it in the future and I think that information would be useful so we don’t die.
