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

1 answer:

6 0

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 spotlight on the ground shines on a wall 12 m away. If a man 2 m tall walks from the spotlight toward the building at a speed

gregori [183]

Answer:

the rate of the change of the length of the shadow is - 0.8625 m/s.

The negative(-) sign means the length of the shadow decreases at a rate of 0.8625 m/s.

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Let x represent the man's distance from building,

initially x = 1m2

dx/d t= -2.3 m/s

Also Let y represent shadow height

so we determine dy/dt when x is 4m from the building

form the image description of the problem, we see two-like triangles with the same base and height ratios

2 / (12-x) = y / 12

24 = y(12 - x )

y = 24 / (12-x)

dy/dt = 24/(12-x)² × dx/dt

Now at x = 4,

we substitute

dy/dt will be;

⇒ 24/(12 - 4)² × -2.3

= 24/64 - 2.3

= 0.375 × -2.3

dy/dt = - 0.8625 m/s

Therefore, the rate of the change of the length of the shadow is - 0.8625 m/s.

The negative(-) sign means the length of the shadow decreases at a rate of 0.8625 m/s.

A car traveling at 20 m/s when the driver sees a child standing in the road. He takes 0.80 s to react, then steps on the brakes

mr Goodwill [35]

When driver see the child standing on road his speed is 20 m/s

So here at that instant his reaction time is 0.80 s

He will cover a total distance given by product of speed and time

$d_1 = v* t$

$d_1 = 20 * 0.8$

$d_1 = 16 m$

now after this he will apply brakes with acceleration a = 7 m/s^2

so the distance covered before it stop is given by

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$0 - 20^2 = 2*(-7)*d_2$

$d_2 = 28.6 m$

so the total distance covered by it

$d = d_1 + d_2$

$d = 16 + 28.6 = 44.6 m$

<em>so it will cover a total distance of 44.6 m</em>

All the processes that form mountain ranges are known as

stepan [7]

All Mountains are built through a general process called "deformation" of the crust of the Earth. Deformation is a fancy word which could also mean "folding". An example of this kind of folding comes from the process described below.

<span>When two sections of the Earth's lithosphere collide, rather than being subducted, where one slab of lithosphere is forced down to deeper regions of the Earth, the slabs pile into each other, causing one or both slabs can fold up like an accordion. This process elevates the crust, folds and deforms it heavily, and produces a mountain range. Mountain building and mantle subduction usually go together. </span>

The equation used to predict the theoretical period Ty of a simple pendulum assumes a small amplitude of oscillation. A student

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

The answer is "Choice E".

Explanation:

In this situation the option e is right because its resistance decreases through time, however, the time is the same for the same reason, whereas the sphere deteriorates, somehow it travels shorter distances however if the air resistance becomes are using the amplitude of movement declines, that's why other choices were wrong.
