Answer: 3 m/s
Explanation:
We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of momentum: during the collision between the two balls, the total momentum of the system before the collision and after the collision must be conserved:
The total momentum before the collision is given only by the cue ball, since the solid ball is initially at rest, therefore
So, the final total momentum will also be
And the total momentum after the collision is given only by the solid ball, since the cue ball is now at rest, therefore:
from which we find the velocity of the solid ball
Yes you should if you will like to. It is your opinion so follow your dreams if they are your dreams.
Answer:
c. detecting the gravitational effect of an orbiting planet (The Wobble"") by looking for the Doppler shifts in the star's spectrum
Explanation:
In a solar system the mass of the star and planets affect each other's orbital movements. The center of gravity of a star and a planet is inside the star. This causes the star to be closer and farther from the Earth at different times. Due to this wobble the star appears to be red shifted when it is farther and blue shifted when it is closer.
When the mass of the planet is high, like a hot Jupiter it causes more wobble i.e., change in radial velocity. This makes it easier to detect the planet. The earliest hot Jupiter found by this method is the planet 51 Pegasi b.
Answer:
a. Light pollution refers to light used for human activities that brightens the sky and hinders astronomical observations.
Explanation:
Light pollution is due to the excessive and misdirected use of artificial light. Light bulbs are often design in an incorrect way, since a great part of its light is not completely directed to the ground and an important percentage is emitted to the sky in where will be scattered and reflected back to ground by the particles in the atmosphere. That brings as an effect a sky glow, therefore the visibility of astronomical objects will be extremely reduce.
Hence, professional astronomical research and amateur observations will be affected. Light pollution has a negative impact on bird migration at night and in the health of difference species, humans also.
