A distant galaxy emits light that has a wavelength of 434.1 nm. On earth, the wavelength of this light is measured to be 438.6 n
maksim [4K]

Answer:

A) receding from the earth

B) 3.078x10^6m/s

Explanation:

  • A) receding from the earth

The wavelength went from 434.1nm to 438.6nm, there was an increase in wavelength (also knowecn as redshift due to the doppler efft), this increase is due to the fact that the source that emits the radiation (the distant galaxy) is moving away and therefore the light waves it emits are "stretched", causing us to see a wavelength greater than the original.

  • B) 3.078x10^6m/s

to calculate the relative speed we use the following formula:

v_{rel}=c(1-\frac{\lambda_{1}}{\lambda_{2}} )

where c is the speed of light: c=3x10^8m/s

\lambda_{1} is the wavelength emited by the source, and

\lambda_{2} is the wavelength measured on earth.

we substitute all the values and do the calculations:

v_{rel}=(3x10^8m/s)(1-\frac{434.1nm}{438.6nm} )\\\\v_{rel}=(3x10^8m/s)(1-0.98974)\\\\v_{rel}=(3x10^8m/s)(0.01026)\\\\v_{rel}=3.078x10^6m/s

the relative speed is: 3.078x10^6m/s

A 16 foot ladder is leaning against a wall. If the top of the ladder slides down the wall at a rate of 3 feet per second, how fa
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

11.625

Explanation:

L = length of the ladder = 16 ft

v_{y} = rate at which top of ladder slides down = - 3 ft/s

v_{x} = rate at which bottom of ladder slides

y = distance of the top of ladder from the ground

x = distance of bottom of ladder from wall = 4 ft

Using Pythagorean theorem

L² = x² + y²

16² = 4² + y²

y = 15.5 ft

Also using Pythagorean theorem

L² = x² + y²

Taking derivative both side relative to "t"

0 = 2x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t} + 2y\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}

0 = x v_{x} + y v_{y}

0 = 4 v_{x} + (15.5) (- 3)

v_{x} = 11.625 ft/s

An electric motor rotating a workshop grinding wheel at 1.06 102 rev/min is switched off. Assume the wheel has a constant negati
kvasek [131]

Answer:

t = 106π / 30*2.1

Explanation:

w_{i} = 1.06*10^{2}    => 106

    => 106 x 2π/60

    => 106/30π

∝ = -2.1 rad/sec²

w_{f} => 0

w_{f} = w_{i} + ∝t

∴ (w_{f} - w_{i}) / ∝ = t

t = 106π / 30*2.1
