The correct answer is
<span>c) very small and very large

Let's see this with a few examples:
1) if we have a very small number, such as
</span>0.0000000001
<span>we see that we can write it easily by using the scientific notation:
</span>1\cdot 10^{-10}
<span>2) Similarly, if we have a very large number:
</span>10000000000
<span>we see that we can write it easily by using again the scientific notation:
</span>1 \cdot 10^{10}<span>
</span>

An 80-kg football player travels to the right at 8 m/s and a 120-kg player on the opposite team travels to the left at 4.0 m/s.
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

m1(v1) + m2(v2)

Opposite turns the plus to subtraction.

80(8) - 120(4.0)

60 - 480 = 160 kg m/s to the right

As you move away from a positive charge distribution, the electric field:
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The electric field always decreases.

Explanation:

The electric field due to a point charge is given by :

E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}

Where

k = electric constant

q = charge

r = distance from the charge

It is clear from the above equation that as the distance from the charge particle increases the electric field decreases. As you move away from a positive charge distribution, the electric field always decreases. Hence, the correct option is (c) "Always decreases".

Which of the following is the most important factor in determining climate
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

temperature

The two most important factors in the climate of an area are temperature and precipitation. The yearly average temperature of the area is obviously important, but the yearly range in temperature is also important.

In hydrogen, the transition from level 2 to level 1 has a rest wavelength of 121.6 nm.1).Find the speed for a star in which this
soldier1979 [14.2K]

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
