What can we conclude?

a) The star is moving toward us.
b) The star is moving away from us.
c) The star is getting hotter.

Answer:

b) The star is moving away from us.

Explanation:

If an object moves toward us, the light waves it emits are compressed - the wavelength of the light will be shorter, making the light bluer. On the other hand, if an object moves away from us, the light waves are stretched, making it redder. If from laboratory measurements we know that a specific hydrogen spectral line appears at the wavelength of 121.6 nanometers (nm) and the spectrum of a particular star shows the same hydrogen line appearing at the wavelength of 121.8 nm, we can conclude that the star is moving away from npos, since the wavelength related to that star is more expanded.

The length of a 100 mm bar of metal increases by 0.3 mm when subjected to a temperature rise of 100°C. The coefficient of linear
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

α = 3×10^-5 K^-1

Explanation:

let ΔL be the change in length of the bar of metal, ΔT be the change in temperature, L be the original length of the metal bar and let α be the coefficient of linear expansion.

then, the coefficient of linear expansion is given by:

α = ΔL/(ΔT×L)

   = (0.3×10^-3)/(100)(100×10^-3)

   = 3×10^-5 K^-1

Therefore, the coefficient of linear expansion is 3×10^-5 K^-1

approximation to the average velocity in that time interval, what should be the sequence of calculations?Update the (vector) pos
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

The steps are outlined in the explanation below.

Explanation:

The average velocity is derived midpoint from the initial to the final velocity. Here is the proof:

Find the total displacement:

let the displacement be given by the letter s

Then since the average velocity is defined as:  v_{av}  = \frac{x - x_{0} }{t - t_{0} }

where t = final time

           t₀ = initial time

           v = final speed

           v₀ = initial time

where x denotes the position, then

v_{ave} = \frac{v+v_{0} }{2}

where v = \frac{dx}{dt} and dx = change in distance with respect to time.

Space debris left from old satellites and their launchers is becoming a hazard to other satellites. (a) Calculate the speed of a
Pie

Answer:

Part a)

v = 7407.1 m/s

Part b)

v_{rel} = 1.05 \times 10^4 m/s

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that orbital velocity at certain height from the surface of Earth is given as

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R+h}}

here we know that

M = 5.98 \times 10^{24} kg

R = 6.37 \times 10^6 m

h = 900 km = 9.0 \times 10^5 m

now we have

v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(5.98 \times 10^{24})}{6.37 \times 10^6 + 9.0 \times 10^5}}

v = 7407.1 m/s

Part b)

When a loose rivet is moving in same orbit but at 90 degree with the previous orbit path then in that case the relative speed of the rivet with respect to the satellite is given as

v_{rel} = \sqrt{2} v

v_{rel} = 1.05 \times 10^4 m/s
