In 1493, after reports of Columbus’s discoveries had reached them, the Spanish rulers Ferdinand and Isabella enlisted papal support for their claims to the New World in order to inhibit the Portuguese and other possible rival claimants. To accommodate them, the Spanish-born pope Alexander VI issued bulls setting up a line of demarcation from pole to pole 100 leagues (about 320 miles) west of the Cape Verde Islands. Spain was given exclusive rights to all newly discovered and undiscovered lands in the region west of the line. Portuguese expeditions were to keep to the east of the line. Neither power was to occupy any territory already in the hands of a Christian ruler.

No other European powers facing the Atlantic Ocean ever accepted this papal disposition or the subsequent agreement deriving from it. King John II of Portugal was dissatisfied because Portugal’s rights in the New World were insufficiently affirmed, and the Portuguese would not even have sufficient room at sea for their African voyages. Meeting at Tordesillas, in northwestern Spain, Spanish and Portuguese ambassadors reaffirmed the papal division, but the line itself was moved to 370 leagues (1,185 miles) west of the Cape Verde Islands, or about 46°30′ W of Greenwich. Pope Julius II finally sanctioned the change in 1506. The new boundary enabled Portugal to claim the coast of Brazil after its discovery by Pedro Álvares Cabral in 1500. Brazilian exploration and settlement far to the west of the line of demarcation in subsequent centuries laid a firm basis for Brazil’s claims to vast areas of the interior of South America.

You observe a nearby galaxy. You find that a spectral line, resulting from an electron transition in hydrogen, is shifted from i
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

The galaxy is moving closer to us

Explanation:

When there is a decrease in the wavelength of light which is being observed then it means that the object and observer are getting closer to each other.

When there is an increase in the wavelength of light which is being observed then it means that the object and observer are getting farther apart.

This phenomenon is called the Doppler effect.

Orange has shorter wavelength than red so the wavelength is getting shorter.

Hence, the galaxy is moving closer to us.

Which of the following statements is/are correct for the Market Equilibrium in the model of Supply and Demand?
soldier1979 [14.2K]

The given question is incomplete as the group of choices are not given, required to answer the question. However, the group of choices for this question is as follows:

1) stable – if we are there we will stay there, unless outside forces change

2)  unique – there is one and only one equilibrium, a property which follows from the “Law of Demand” and “Law of Supply”

3)  self-enforcing – at higher prices there is downward pressure on price; at lower prices there is upward pressure on price – therefore if we are at some other price, we will be pushed toward the equilibrium price

4)  All of the above statements are correct

Answer:

The correct answer is - option 4. all of the above statements are correct.

Explanation:

According to the model of the demand and supply, market equilibrium in the model of the supply and demand is the market where the balance between supply and demand is equal and due to equal demand and supply prices of a particular product is stable.

If there is an over-supply of products than the demand in the market the prices will go down, which results in higher demand. At higher prices there is pressure on the price to move downward; at lower prices, the pressure would be upward.

Thus, the correct answer is - option 4. all of the statements are correct
