Near the center of our galaxy, hydrogen gas is moving directly away from us in its orbit about a black hole. The electromagnetic
klemol [59]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concept related to wavelength, specifically when the wavelength is observed from a source that is in motion to the observer.

By definition the wavelength is given defined by,

\lambda_{obs} = \lambda_s \sqrt{\frac{1+u/c}{1-u/c}}

Where

\lambda_{obs} = Observed wavelength

\lambda_s = Wavelength of the source

c = Speed of light in vacuum

u = Relative velocity of the source to the observer

According to our data we have that the wavelength emitted from the galaxy is 1875nm which is equal to the wavelength from the source, while the wavelength from the observer is \lambda_{obs}=1945nm

Therefore replacing in the previous equation we have,

1945 = 1875 \sqrt{\frac{1+\frac{u}{c} }{1-\frac{u}{c} }}

\sqrt{\frac{1+u/c}{1-u/c}} = 1.03733

\frac{1+\frac{u}{c} }{1-\frac{u}{c} }=1.03733^2

1+\frac{u}{c} =1.03733^2*(1-\frac{u}{c} )

Solving for u,

1+\frac{u}{c} =1.03733^2*(1-\frac{u}{c} )

1+\frac{u}{c} =1.03733^2-1.03733^2(\frac{u}{c} )

\frac{u}{c} +1.03733^2\frac{u}{c} =1.03733^2-1

2.88595\frac{u}{c}=1.03733^2-1

\frac{u}{c} = \frac{1.03733^2-1}{2.88595}

u = \frac{1.03733^2-1}{2.88595}*c

u = 0.02635c

Therefore the speed of the gas relative to earth is 0.02635 times the speed of light.

An ice skater weighs 500 [N]. He is coasting to the right at a constant velocity of 2 [m/s]. Assume
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The net force on the skater is zero. (F_{net} = 0\,N)

Explanation:

According to Newton's First Law, an object is at equilibrium when either it is at rest or moves at constant velocity, which means a net force of zero. Based on the given statement, there are no external forces acting on skate and, therefore, the net force on the skater is zero. (F_{net} = 0\,N)

What is mean by combination reaction ?​​
mrs_skeptik [129]

\underline{\purple{\large \sf Combination \: reaction :-}}

Those reaction in which two or more substances combine to form a one new substance are called Combination reaction

In this reaction, We can add :

  • Two or more elements can combine to form a compound.
  • Two or more compounds can combine to from a one new compound.
  • An element and a compound can combine to form a new compound.

\underline{\green{\large \sf For\: example :}}

\sf 2H_{2}  + O_{2} \:  \underrightarrow{Combination} \: 2H_{2}o

In this, Hydrogen is an element and Oxygen is another element. Both are combined to form compound 'Hydrogen oxide'. Hydrogen oxide is commonly known as water.

A low C (f=65Hz) is sounded on a piano. If the length of the piano wire is 2.0 m and
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

T = 676 N

Explanation:

Given that: f = 65 Hz, L = 2.0 m, and ρ = 5.0 g/m^{2} = 0.005 kg

A stationary wave that is set up in the string has a frequency of;

f = \frac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\frac{T}{M} }

⇒      T = 4L^{2}f^{2}M

Where: t is the tension in the wire, L is the length of the wire, f is the frequency of the waves produced by the wire and M is the mass per unit length of the wire.

But M = L × ρ = (2 × 0.005) = 0.01 kg/m

T = 4 × 2^{2} ×65^{2} × 0.01

   = 4 × 4 ×4225 × 0.01

   = 676 N

Tension of the wire is 676 N.
