When astronomers observe the spectra of distant galaxies,they notice that the hydrogen emission lines are shifted noticeably tow

ard the red end of the visual spectrum,a phenomenon called red shift. Red is lowest frequency of visible light. What does red shift indicate about the movement of the distant galaxies?

The amount of redshift increases in relation with the distance, meaning, the larger the redshift, the more distant the galaxy.  The Hubble diagram which was created by Edwin Hubble in 1929 shows that the more redshifted a galaxy is the further away it is. The galaxies are moving away from Earth because the fabric of space itself is expanding.  <span>Subtle changes in the color of starlight let </span>astronomers<span> find planets,  </span>measure<span> the speeds of </span>galaxies<span>, and track the expansion of the universe. </span>

Find the coefficient of kinetic friction μk. express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables d1, d2, and θ.
Andre45 [30]
<span>internet tension = mass * acceleration internet tension = 23 – Friction tension = 14 * acceleration Friction tension = µ * 14 * 9.8 = µ * 137.2 23 – µ * 137.2 = 14 * acceleration Distance = undemanding speed * time undemanding speed = ½ * (preliminary speed + very final speed) Distance = ½ * (preliminary speed + very final speed) * time Distance = 8.a million m, preliminary speed = 0 m/s, very final speed = a million.8 m/s 8.a million = ½ * (0 + a million.8) * t Time = 8.a million ÷ 0.9 = 9 seconds Acceleration = (very final speed – preliminary speed) ÷ time Acceleration = (a million.8 – 0) ÷ 9 = 0.2 m/s^2 23 – µ * 137.2 = 14 * 0.2 resolve for µ</span>

A certain radar installation tracks airplanes by transmitting electromagnetic radiation of wavelength 4.0 cm.
Anna35 [415]

the wavelength equation is

speed (of light in this case)= wavelength (m) x frequency

3x10^8m/s / .07m = f

frequency= 4 285 714 286 hertz

 

 

 

b) Total distance= 4.8 km (4,800 m)

Speed = 3x10^8 m/s

d=st

t= d/s

t= 4,800 m/3x10^8m/s

<span>t= 1x10^-5 seconds</span>

The distance between a Point on one wave and the same point on the next cycle of the wave
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

wavelength

Explanation:

the definition of wavelength is the distance between two consecutive waves. with that being said, the point from the crest of one wave to the crest of another would be wave length
