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.

A "biconvex" lens is one in which both surfaces of the lens bulge outwards. Suppose you had a biconvex lens with radii of curvat

Stolb23 [73]

Answer: f=150cm in water and f=60cm in air.

Explanation: Focal length is a measurement of how strong light is converged or diverged by a system. To find the variable, it can be used the formula:

$\frac{1}{f}$ = (nglass - ni)( $\frac{1}{R1}$ - $\frac{1}{R2}$ ).

nglass is the index of refraction of the glass;

ni is the index of refraction of the medium you want, water in this case;

R1 is the curvature through which light enters the lens;

R2 is the curvature of the surface which it exits the lens;

Substituting and calculating for water (nwater = 1.3):

$\frac{1}{f}$ = (1.5 - 1.3)( $\frac{1}{10}$ - $\frac{1}{15}$ )

$\frac{1}{f}$ = 0.2( $\frac{1}{30}$ )

f = $\frac{30}{0.2}$ = 150

For air (nair = 1):

$\frac{1}{f}$ = (1.5 - 1)( $\frac{1}{10}$ - $\frac{1}{15}$ )

f = $\frac{30}{0.5}$ = 60

In water, the focal length of the lens is f = 150cm.

In air, f = 60cm.

A silver wire has a cross sectional area a = 2.0 mm2. a total of 9.4 × 1018 electrons pass through the wire in 3.0 s. the conduc

marta [7]

This problem uses the relationships among current I, current density J, and drift speed vd. We are given the total of electrons that pass through the wire in t = 3s and the area A, so we use the following equation to to find vd, from J and the known electron density n, so:

$v_{d} = \frac{J}{n\left | q \right |}$

The current I is any motion of charge from one region to another, so this is given by:

 $I = \frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t} = \frac{9.4x1018electrons}{3s} = 3189.73(A)$

The magnitude of the current density is:

$J = \frac{I}{A} = \frac{3189.73}{2x10^{-6}} = 1594.86(A/m^{2})$

Being:

$A=2mm^{2} = 2x10^{-6}m^{2}$

Finally, for the drift velocity magnitude vd, we find:

 $v_{d} = \frac{1594.86}{5.8x1028\left |1.60x10^{-19}|\right } = 1.67x10^{18}(m/s)$

Notice: The current I is very high for this wire. The given values of the variables are a little bit odd

Plrase help a little stuck here

kkurt [141]

(I'm lucky to have a computer ... It was only through the miracle of
modern digital technology that I was able to flip your photo right-
side-up to where I could read it.)

Here's how to figure out things like this:

The circle on the left side labeled ' G ' is the Generator or battery
that powers this whole circuit and all the devices in it. In order for
any device to work, you need to be able to set your pencil down at
the top of the Generator, and find a path through the circuit and
through that device, where current can flow all the way around to
the bottom of the Generator. If you ever come to an open switch,
then current stops there, and you have to find another way through.
If the path you found takes you back to the bottom of the generator but
it doesn't go through one of the devices, then that device doesn't work.

Look at the picture. If you open switch S-4, then Device-4 can't work,
because current can't go through it from one end of the Generator to
the other end. But all of the other devices still work.

I can see 2 ways to turn off Device-3 with a single switch ... either
open switch S-5, or else open switch S-1. Unfortunately, I think
either way will shut off all 5 devices.

The speed of a space shuttle is 10 / express this in /�

12345 [234]

Answer:

268.22m/s

Explanation:

Given;

10mile/min to m/s

We need to convert between the two units;

Using the dimensions;

1 mile = 1609.34m

60s = 1min

Now;

10 x $\frac{mile}{min}$ x $\frac{1min}{60s}$ x $\frac{1609.34m}{1mile}$

= 268.22m/s

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Since the person above didn't answer correctly I will, the correct option is (D) this is because the picture shown is of a weather balloon and the purpose of this device is to predict weather and its conditions

Hope this helped! (: Have a nice day
