Answer:

1). v = - 2960526m/s

2). Toward us

3). v = - 493421m/s

4). Toward us

5). v = 1480263m/s

6).  Away from us

7). v = 3207236m/s

8). Away from us

Explanation:

Spectral lines will be shifted to the blue part of the spectrum if the source of the observed light is moving toward the observer, or to the red part of the spectrum when it is moving away from the observer (that is known as the Doppler effect).

The wavelength at rest is 121.6 nm (\lambda_{0} = 121.6nm)

Redshift: \lambda_{measured} > \lambda_{0}

Blueshift: \lambda_{measured} < \lambda_{0}

Then, for this particular case it is gotten:

Star 1: \lambda_{measured} = 120.4nm

Star 2: \lambda_{measured} = 121.4nm

Star 3: \lambda_{measured} = 122.2nm

Star 4: \lambda_{measured} = 122.9nm

Star 1:

Blueshift: 120.4nm < 121.6nm

Toward us

Star 2:

Blueshift: 121.4nm < 121.6nm

Toward us

Star 3:

Redshift: 122.2nm > 121.6nm

Away from us

Star 4:

Redshift: 122.9nm > 121.6nm

Away from us

Due to that shift the velocity of the star can be determine by means of Doppler velocity.

v = c\frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda_{0}}  (1)

Where \Delta \lambda is the wavelength shift, \lambda_{0} is the wavelength at rest, v is the velocity of the source and c is the speed of light.

v = c(\frac{\lambda_{measured}- \lambda_{0}}{\lambda_{0}}) (2)

<em>Case for star 1 \lambda_{measured} = 120.4 nm:</em>

<em></em>

v = (3x10^{8}m/s)(\frac{120.4nm-121.6nm}{121.6nm})

v = - 2960526m/s

Notice that the negative velocity means that is approaching to the observer.

<em>Case for star 2 \lambda_{measured} = 121.4 nm:</em>

v = (3x10^{8}m/s)(\frac{121.4nm-121.6nm}{121.6nm})

v = - 493421m/s

<em>Case for star 3 \lambda_{measured} = 122.2 nm:</em>

v = (3x10^{8}m/s)(\frac{122.2nm-121.6nm}{121.6nm})

v = 1480263m/s

<em>Case for star 4 \lambda_{measured} = 122.9 nm:</em>

v = (3x10^{8}m/s)(\frac{122.9nm-121.6nm}{121.6nm})

v = 3207236m/s

A car of mass 500kg travelling at 60m/s has it speed reduced to 40m/s by a constant breaking force over a distance of 200m. find
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Ek1 = 900000 [J]

Ek1 = 400000 [J]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must remember that kinetic energy is defined as the product of mass by velocity squared by a medium. Therefore using the following equation we have:

E_{k1}=\frac{1}{2}*m*v1^{2}

where:

m = mass = 500 [kg]

v1 = 60 [m/s]

So we have:

Ek1 = 0.5*500*(60^2)

Ek1 = 900000 [J]

and:

Ek2 = 0.5*500*(40^2)

Ek2 = 400000 [J]

A 82-kg fisherman in a 112-kg boat throws a package of mass m = 15 kg horizontally toward the right with a speed of vi = 4.8 m/s
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

0.37 m/s to the left

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.  Initial momentum = final momentum.

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

Initially, both the fisherman/boat and the package are at rest.

0 = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

Plugging in values and solving:

0 = (82 kg + 112 kg) v + (15 kg) (4.8 m/s)

v = -0.37 m/s

The boat's velocity is 0.37 m/s to the left.
