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.

Question C) needs to be answered, please help (physics)
Zarrin [17]

(a) Differentiate the position vector to get the velocity vector:

<em>r</em><em>(t)</em> = (3.00 m/s) <em>t</em> <em>i</em> - (4.00 m/s²) <em>t</em>² <em>j</em> + (2.00 m) <em>k</em>

<em>v</em><em>(t)</em> = d<em>r</em>/d<em>t</em> = (3.00 m/s) <em>i</em> - (8.00 m/s²) <em>t</em> <em>j</em>

<em></em>

(b) The velocity at <em>t</em> = 2.00 s is

<em>v</em> (2.00 s) = (3.00 m/s) <em>i</em> - (16.0 m/s) <em>j</em>

<em></em>

(c) Compute the electron's position at <em>t</em> = 2.00 s:

<em>r</em> (2.00 s) = (6.00 m) <em>i</em> - (16.0 m) <em>j</em> + (2.00 m) <em>k</em>

The electron's distance from the origin at <em>t</em> = 2.00 is the magnitude of this vector:

||<em>r</em> (2.00 s)|| = √((6.00 m)² + (-16.0 m)² + (2.00 m)²) = 2 √74 m ≈ 17.2 m

(d) In the <em>x</em>-<em>y</em> plane, the velocity vector at <em>t</em> = 2.00 s makes an angle <em>θ</em> with the positive <em>x</em>-axis such that

tan(<em>θ</em>) = (-16.0 m/s) / (3.00 m/s)   ==>   <em>θ</em> ≈ -79.4º

or an angle of about 360º + <em>θ</em> ≈ 281º in the counter-clockwise direction.

An elevator supported by a single cable descends a shaft at a constant speed. The only forces acting on the elevator are the ten
VikaD [51]

Answer:

C. The net work done by the two forces is zero joules.

Explanation:

Work (W) is defined as the product of force F) by the distance (d)the body travels due to this force.  

W= F*d Formula ( 1)

The work is positive (W+) if the force has the same direction of movement of the object.  

The work is negative (W-) if the force has the opposite direction of the movement of the object.

The component of the force that performs work must be parallel to the displacement.  

Calculation of the forces

We apply Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

∑F = m*a  

a = 0 because the elevator moves at constant speed.

∑F=0

T-W = 0

T = W  

Calculation of work done by the forces

W₁ :  work done by the gravity= (+ W*d ) J

W₂ : work done by the tension force=( -T*d) J

Net work done by the two forces(W₁-W₂):

W₁= W₂ .because T = W  

W₁-W₂ =0
