From laboratory measurements, we know that a particular spectral line formed by hydrogen appears at a wavelength of 486.1 nanome

ters (nm). The spectrum of a particular star shows the same hydrogen line appearing at a wavelength of 485.9 nm. What can we conclude?
- The "star" actually is a planet.
- The star is moving away from us.
- The star is getting colder.
- The star is getting hotter.
- The star is moving toward us.

Answer:

The star is moving toward us

Explanation:

The wavelength of a distant object changes due to the change in the distance between the observer and the object. This is known as the Doppler effect.

If the wavelength decreases this means that the wavelength in going towards blue which is shorter wavelength. This is known as blue shift. If blue shift occurs then it means that the object is coming closer to the observer.

Hence, the star described here has blue shifted and is moving closer to us.

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

There are three basic categories of musical instruments: percussion, wind, and stringed instruments. Most musical instruments use resonance to amplify sound waves and make sounds louder. In a musical instrument, the whole instrument and the air inside it may vibrate when the head of the drum is struck.

5. A hollow cylinder of mass m, radius Rc, and moment of inertia I = mRc2 is pushed against a spring (with spring constant k) co
Makovka662 [10]

Explanation:

(a) Draw a free body diagram of the cylinder at the top of the loop.  At the minimum speed, the normal force is 0, so the only force is weight pulling down.

Sum of forces in the centripetal direction:

∑F = ma

mg = mv²/RL

v = √(g RL)

(b) Energy is conserved.

EE = KE + RE + PE

½ kd² = ½ mv² + ½ Iω² + mgh

kd² = mv² + Iω² + 2mgh

kd² = mv² + (m RC²) ω² + 2mg (2 RL)

kd² = mv² + m RC²ω² + 4mg RL

kd² = mv² + mv² + 4mg RL

kd² = 2mv² + 4mg RL

kd² = 2m (v² + 2g RL)

d² = 2m (v² + 2g RL) / k

d = √[2m (v² + 2g RL) / k]

Answer:

0m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity of the boat = 8m/s

Final velocity  = 8m/s

Time taken  = 4s

Unknown:

Acceleration of the boat = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.

It is mathematically expressed as;

        A = \frac{v - u}{t}

A is the acceleration

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

    Insert the parameters and solve;

  A = \frac{8-8}{4}   = 0m/s²
