Which term best describes how light waves from a star are affected as the star moves toward earth?

Physics
1 answer:
marta [7]4 years ago

Answer:

C. Blueshift

"If a star is moving towards the earth, its light is shifted to higher frequencies on the color spectrum (towards the green/blue/violet/ultraviolet/x-ray/gamma-ray end of the spectrum). A higher frequency shift is called a "blue shift"

PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE 10 POINTS!!!!
Mariana [72]

Answer;

-A model

Explanation;

-A mathematical model is an abstract model that uses mathematical language to describe the behavior of a system. A Mathematical Model tries to copy how a real world thing works using equations.

-Usually a mathematical model describes a system by a set of variables and a set of equations that establish relationships between the variables. Variables may be of many types; real or integer numbers, for example.

-The Area A of a circle with radius r is given by the formula A = πr2. In this formula π ≈ 3.1416... is a number which is a constant, and A and r are variables or unknowns. A is called the subject of the formula.

A pencil rolls horizontally of a 1 meter high desk and lands .25 meters from the base of the desk. How fast was the pencil rolli
vovikov84 [41]

Answer: 0.55 m/s

Explanation:

This situation is related to projectile motion (also called parabolic motion), where the main equations are as follows:

x=V_{o} cos\theta t (1)

y=y_{o}+Vo sin \theta t + \frac{g}{2}t^{2} (2)

Where:

x=0.25 m is the horizontal displacement of the pencil

V_{o} is the pencil's initial velocity

\theta=0\° since we are told the pencil rolls <u>horizontally</u> before falling

t is the time since the pencil falls until it hits the ground

y_{o}=1 m  is the initial height of the pencil

y=0  is the final height of the pencil (when it finally hits the ground)

g=-9.8m/s^{2}  is the acceleration due gravity, always acting vertically downwards

Begining with (1):

x=V_{o} cos(0\°) t (3)

x=V_{o}t (4)

Finding t from (2):

0=1 m+ \frac{-9.8m/s^{2}}{2}t^{2} (5)

t=\sqrt{\frac{-2y_{o}}{g}} (6)

Substituting (6) in (4):

x=V_{o}\sqrt{\frac{-2y_{o}}{g}} (7)

Isolating V_{o}:

V_{o}=\frac{x}{\sqrt{\frac{-2y_{o}}{g}}} (8)

V_{o}=\frac{0.25 m}{\sqrt{\frac{-2(1 m)}{-9.8m/s^{2}}}} (9)

Finally:

V_{o}=0.55 m/s
