A comet is approaching Earth at a known velocity. Indicate the proper sequence that describes the wavelength of light you measur

e as it first approaches, then passes, and finally recedes from Earth.
Physics
1 answer:
Basile [38]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

When it was approaching, the wavelength is blue-shifted and the rest wavelength when it was receding the wavelength is redshifted.

Any planet is an extremely faint light source compared to its parent star. Comets are considered as the most primitive objects in the Solar System.

Object 1 of mass m moves with speed v in the positive direction. Object 2 of mass 3 m moves with speed 4 v in the negative x-dir
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

This means that the kinetic energy of second object is 48times that of the first object

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion e.g motion of an accelerating car. Mathematically,

Kinetic energy = 1/2mv² where;

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

If Object 1 of mass m moves with speed v in the positive direction, its kinetic energy will be expressed as;

K1 = 1/2mv²

For Object 2 of mass 3m moving with speed 4v in the negative x-direction, its kinetic energy can be expressed as;

K2 = 1/2(3m)(4v)²

K2 = 1/2(3m)(16v²)

K2 = (3m)(8v²)

K2 = 24mv²

To compare the kinetic energy of both bodies, we will take the ratio of K2:K1 to have;

K2/K1 = 24mv²/(1/2)mv²

K2/K1 = 24/(1/2)

K2/K1 = 48

K2 = 48K1

This means that the kinetic energy of second object is 48times that of the first object and moving in the negative x direction since the body of mass 3m initially moves in the negative x direction.

The height of a typical playground slide is about 1.8 m and it rises at an angle of 30 ∘ above the horizontal.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

5.94\ \text{m/s}

1.7

0.577

Explanation:

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81\ \text{m/s}^2

\theta = Angle of slope = 30^{\circ}

v = Velocity of child at the bottom of the slide

\mu_k = Coefficient of kinetic friction

\mu_s = Coefficient of static friction

h = Height of slope = 1.8 m

The energy balance of the system is given by

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 1.8}\\\Rightarrow v=5.94\ \text{m/s}

The speed of the child at the bottom of the slide is 5.94\ \text{m/s}

Length of the slide is given by

l=h\sin\theta\\\Rightarrow l=1.8\sin30^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow l=0.9\ \text{m}

v=\dfrac{1}{2}\times5.94\\\Rightarrow v=2.97\ \text{m/s}

The force energy balance of the system is given by

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+\mu_kmg\cos\theta l\\\Rightarrow \mu_k=\dfrac{gh-\dfrac{1}{2}v^2}{gl\cos\theta}\\\Rightarrow \mu_k=\dfrac{9.81\times 1.8-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.97^2}{9.81\times 0.9\cos30^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow \mu_k=1.73

The coefficient of kinetic friction is 1.7.

For static friction

\mu_s\geq\tan30^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow \mu_s\geq0.577

So, the minimum possible value for the coefficient of static friction is 0.577.

While Bob is demonstrating the gravitational force on falling objects to his class, he drops an 1.0 lb bag of feathers from the
____ [38]

As per the question Bob drops the bag full with feathers from the top of the building.

The mass of the bag(m)= 1.0 lb

Let the air resistance is neglected.As the bag is under free fall ,hence the only force that acts on the bag is the force of gravity which is in vertical downward direction.

Here the acceleration produced on bag due to the free fall will be nothing else except the acceleration due to gravity i.e g =9.8 m/s^2


Here we are asked to calculate the distance travelled by the bag at the instant 1.5 s

Hence time t= 1.5 s

From equation of kinematics we know that -

                S=ut + 0.5at^2     [ here S is the distance travelled]

For motion under free fall initial velocity (u)=0.

Hence   S= 0×1.5+{0.5×(-9.8)×(1.5)^2}

           ⇒ -S =0-11.025 m

            ⇒ S= 11.025 m

                   =11 m

Here the negative sign is taken only due to the vertical downward motion of the body .we may take is positive depending on our frame of reference .


Hence the correct option is B.
