Laboratory measurements show hydrogen produces a spectral line at a wavelength of 486.1 nanometers (nm). A particular star's spe

ctrum shows the same hydrogen line at a wavelength of 486.0 nm. What can we conclude

Answer: we can conclude that the wavelength is decreasing. This means that the star is moving towards the observer on earth.

Explanation:

Since light has a constant speed of 3 x 10^8m/s, and this speed is a product of its wavelength and its frequency c = f¥

Where f is the frequency and ¥ is the wavelnght.

For a decreasing wavelength, it is seen that the frequency is increasing.

According to the doppler's effect, a moving body that is a source of a wave of frequency f, moving relatively towards an observer, the frequency will increase as they move closer to a frequency f' which is greater than f. This is known as the doppler shift of light wave.

Answer:

It means that the star is moving towards us.

Explanation:

The star is moving toward us; shift to a shorter wavelength. A shorter wavelength means a shift to the blue end of the spectrum (a blueshift) so that the object is moving toward us.

The flywheel of an engine has moment of inertia 2.50 kg m2 about its rotation axis. What constant torque is required to bring it
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The moment of inertia is  I = 2.50 \ kg \cdot m^2

    The final  angular speed is w_f =  400 rev/min  =  \frac{400 * 2\pi}{60}  = 41.89 \ rad/s

     The time taken is  t =  8.0 s

      The initial angular speed is  w_i  =  0\ rad/s

Generally the average angular acceleration is mathematically represented as

        \alpha  =  \frac{w_f - w_i }{t}

=>     \alpha  =  \frac{41.89}{8}

=>      \alpha  = 5.24 \ rad/s^2

Generally the torque is mathematically represented as

   \tau  =  I  *  \alpha

=>    \tau   =  5.24 *  2.50

=>     \tau   =  13.09 \  N \cdot m

A 2.0-cm-diameter parallel-plate capacitor with a spacing of 0.50 mm is charged to 200 V. What are (a) the total energy stored i
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

(A) Total energy will be equal to 0.044\times 10^{-5}J

(b) Energy density will be equal to 0.0175J/m^3

Explanation:

We have given diameter of the plate d = 2 cm = 0.02 m

So area of the plate A=\pi r^2=3.14\times 0.02^2=0.001256m^2

Distance between the plates d = 0.50 mm = 0.50\times 10^{-3}m

Permitivity of free space \epsilon _0=8.85\times 10^{-12}F/m

Potential difference V =200 volt

Capacitance between the plate is equal to C=\frac{\epsilon _0A}{d}=\frac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 0.001256}{0.50\times 10^{-3}}=0.022\times 10^{-9}F

(a) Total energy stored in the capacitor is equal to

E=\frac{1}{2}CV^2

E=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.022\times 10^{-9}\times 200^2=0.044\times 10^{-5}J

(b) Volume will be equal to V=Ad, here A is area and d is distance between plates

V=0.001256\times 0.02=2.512\times 10^{-5}m^3

So energy density =\frac{Energy}{volume}=\frac{0.044\times 10^{-5}}{2.512\times 10^{-5}}=0.0175J/m^3

Interstellar matter is quite evenly distributed throughout the milky way galaxy. true or false
melomori [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

In addition to stars, our galaxy contains abundant diffuse matter that is distributed throughout its volume and constitutes what we call the interstellar medium. This medium plays a fundamental role in the life cycle of the stars, since it is where the matter from which they are born resides, and it is the place to which it returns when the stars expel their outer layers at death.

The interstellar medium is a complex environment. <u>Its matter is </u><u>not </u><u>distributed uniformly</u>, but consists of different phases with temperatures ranging from a few degrees Kelvin (near absolute zero) in the areas of star formation to the millions of degrees Kelvin observed in supernova remnants. The densities of interstellar matter also vary orders of magnitude according to the phase, but they are always so low that they rival those that can be achieved in the best vacuum chambers of terrestrial laboratories. Depending on the density and temperature conditions, interstellar matter is in a molecular, atomic, or ionized state, although the state is not permanent, since matter circulates between the different phases in a continuous cycle of evolution on a galactic scale.

Due to the very different characteristics of its multiple phases, the interstellar medium has to be studied using various observational techniques and different types of telescopes. The coldest components of the interstellar medium do not emit visible light, and require the observation of telescopes sensitive to the weak emission of radio waves that this material produces. Using different radio telescopes, such as the 40-meter diameter of the Yebes Observatory, which the Institute of Radio Astronomy Millimeter, to which the IGN belongs, has in Grenoble and Granada, or the recently opened Atacama Large Millimeter / submillimeter Array in the Atacama desert in Chile, astronomers from the National Astronomical Observatory contribute to characterize the physical and chemical properties of the molecular clouds where stars are born and of the circumestellar shells produced by the stars in the last stages of their lives . The study of these regions is helping to complete our knowledge of the most unknown phases of the complex life cycle of stars.
