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.

A block of aluminum at a temperature of T1 = 32 degrees C has a mass of m1 = 12 kg. It is brought into contact with another bloc
Mariulka [41]

Answer:T=21.33 ^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given

mass of First Block m_1=12 kg

Temperature T_1=32^{\circ}

mass of second block m_2=0.5 m_1=6 kg

Temperature T_2=9^{\circ}

Heat capacity of aluminium c=899 J/kg-K

Final Temperature acquired by both blocks at steady state

Heat loss first block =Heat gain by second block

m_1\times c\times (32-T)=m_2\times c\times (T-9)

12\times 899\times (32-T)=6\times 899\times (T-9)

2\times 32=3T

T=\frac{64}{3}=21.33 ^{\circ}

Every few hundred years most of the planets line up on the same side of the Sun.(Figure 1)Calculate the total force on the Earth
mylen [45]

Answer: 3.7 \times 10^{-4} N

Explanation:

The gravitational pull between two object is given by:

F = G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

Where M and m are the masses of the object, r is the distance between the masses and G = 6.67× 10⁻¹¹ m³kg⁻¹ s⁻² is the gravitational constant.

We have to calculate the net force on Earth due to Venus, Jupiter and Saturn when they are in one line. It means when they are the closest distance.

F_{net] = G\frac{M_eM_v}{r_v^2}+G\frac{M_eM_j}{r_j^2}+G\frac{M_eM_s}{r_s^2}

Mass of Earth, Me = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

Mass of Venus, Mv = 0.815 Me

Mass of Jupiter, Mj = 318 Me

Mass of Saturn, Ms = 95.1 Me

closest distance between Earth and Venus, rv = 38 × 10⁶ km = 0.25 AU

closest distance between Jupiter and Earth, rj = 588 × 10⁶ km = 3.93 AU

closest distance between Earth and Saturn, rs = 1.2 × 10⁹ km = 8.0 AU

where 1 AU = 1.5 × 10¹¹ m

Inserting the values:

F_{net} = G\frac{M_e\times 0.815 M_e}{(0.25AU)^2}+G\frac{M_e\times 318 M_e}{(3.93AU)^2}+G\frac{M_e\times 95.1 M_e}{(8.0AU)^2}\\ \Rightarrow F_{net} = \frac{(GM_e^2)}{(1AU)^2}(\frac{0.815}{0.25^2}+\frac{318}{3.93^2}+\frac{95.1}{8.0^2})=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11} \times (5.98\times 10^{24})^2}{(1.5\times 10^{11})^2}(35.1) = 3.7 \times 10^{-4} N
