Answer: The correct answer is A.

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

Doppler effect is the phenomenon in which there is an apparent change in the frequency of the wave when there is a relative motion between the observer and the source.

Scientists use the Doppler effect to understand the universe by determining the motion of the object.

Therefore, the correct answer is A.

Light changes as the object in space (such as star) moves away from us then the light is shifted to red end. In this case, the light is shifted to longer wavelength.

Light changes as the object in space (such as star) moves towards us then the light is shifted to blue end. In this case, the light is shifted to shorter wavelength.

In the given problem, the when the stars are moving towards each other then the blue shift in the light will occur.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

An important dimensionless parameter in certain types of fluid flow problems is the Froude number defined as V/√g.l where V is a

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

1.24611

Explanation:

V = Velocity = 10 ft/s

L = Length = 2 ft

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 32.2 ft/s²

Froude number is given by

$Fr=\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{gL}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{32.2\times 2}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=1.24611$

Converting to SI units

$10\ ft/s=10\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}$

$32.2\ ft/s^2=32.2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}$

$2\ ft=2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}$

$Fr=\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{gL}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=\dfrac{10\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}}{\sqrt{32.2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}\times 2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=1.24611$

The Froude number is 1.24611

The Froude number is equal. The Froude number is dimensionless as the units cancel each other. In order for this to happen the units used need to be consitent either imperial or SI.

A ball starts from rest and undergoes uniform acceleration of 2.50m/s^2. What is the velocity of the ball 4s later?

erica [24]

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 2.50 m/s²

t = 4 s

Find: v

v = at + v₀

v = (2.50 m/s²) (4 s) + 0 m/s

v = 10 m/s

Why won't a chain reaction occur in natural uranium?

SOVA2 [1]

<span>The density of fissionable uranium is not high enough. Basically more neutrons are absorbed than are produced so any chain reaction dies. hope this helps</span>
