Why is the spectrum of a star called an absorption spectrum?

It is called absorption spectrum because a gas of hydrogen will make a line spectrum and if viewed for another angle it would be between a continuum light and a emission line spectrum

A 0.473 kg ice puck, moving east with a speed of 2.76 m/s, has a head-on collision with a 0.819 kg puck initially at rest. Assum
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The final speed of puck 1 is 0.739 m/s towards west  and puck 2 is 2.02 m/s towards east .

Explanation:

Let us consider east as positive direction and west as negative direction .

Given

mass of puck 1 , m_1= 0.473 kg

mass of puck 2 , m_2= 0.819 kg

initial speed of puck 1 , u_1=2.76\frac{m}{s}

initial speed of puck 2 , u_2=0.00\frac{m}{s}

Final speed of puck 1 and puck 2 be v_1\, and\, v_2  respectively

Apply conservation of linear momentum

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

=>0.473\times 2.76+0.0=0.473\times v_1+0.819\times v_2

=>1.594=0.5775\times v_1+ v_2 -----(A)

Since collision is perfectly elastic , coefficient restitution e=1

u_2-u_1=v_1-v_2

=>0-2.76=v_1-v_2 ------(B)

From equation (A) and (B)

v_1=-0.739\frac{m}{s}

and v_2=2.02\frac{m}{s}

Thus the final speed of puck 1 is 0.739 m/s towards west  and puck 2 is 2.02 m/s towards east .

What is the voltage of a motor that draws a current of 2 a and produces 240 w of power?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
Here Power = Voltage * Current

So, Voltage = Power/Current

Put the values, 

V = 240/2

V = 120 V

In short, Your Final Answer would be: 120 Volts

Hope this helps!

Think about the difference between thermal energy and temperature. How might the melting icicles gain energy without changing te
ivann1987 [24]

No temperature change occurs from heat transfer if ice melts and becomes liquid water (i.e., during a phase change). For example, consider water dripping from icicles melting on a roof warmed by the Sun. Conversely, water freezes in an ice tray cooled by lower-temperature surroundings.

Hope this helped you

A block of mass m=9.0 kg and speed V and is behind a block of mass M= 27 kg and speed of .50 m/s. The surface is frictionless, a
sammy [17]

Answer:

2.06 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before and after collision are equal. Considering this case where we have frictionless surface, no momentum is lost in the process.

Momentum before collision

Momentum is given by p=mv where m and v represent mass. The initial sum of momentum will be 9v+(27*0.5)=9v+13.5

Momentum after collision

The momentum after collision will be given by (9+27)*0.9=32.4

Relating the two then 9v+13.5=32.4

9v=18.5

V=2.055555555555555555555555555555555555555 m/s

Rounded off, v is approximately 2.06 m/s
