<span>A vector which implies that an object has been moved or has changed its position is called displacement. Displacement is usually associated with length and direction of an imaginary straight point. It is the shortest distance from the initial point to the final point of final position (P). Displacement can also be described as the length between the final and initial point on the shortest path. It means an overall change in direction  of the object or point of a body.</span>

You observe a distant galaxy. You find that a spectral line, resulting from an electron transition in hydrogen, is shifted from
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The galaxy is moving away from the observer

Explanation: when a galaxy is moving away from us, the light we percieve from it is "streched". Since the wavelength has an inverse raltionship whith frequency, the longer the wavelength is, the lower the frequency. And lower frequencies correspond to red and infrarred light.

So when we see the light has shifted to the infrarred part of the spectrum, it means the source is traveling away from us, making the light waves we percieve streched and move from visible light to infrarred.

Which of these is an example of electrical energy being converted to mechanical energy?
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Ceiling fan

Explanation:

Ceiling fan is a perfect and typical example of electrical energy being converted to mechanical energy.

In most systems, energy is usually transformed from one form to another. Energy is not created neither is it destroyed. We know this by virtue of law of conservation of energy.

  • The ceiling fan is powered by electrical energy from an outlet.
  • The energy from the outlet is used to drive the blades of the fan and set them into motion.
  • This is mechanical energy.
