In your own words, explain how the red shift in the spectrum of objects in space provide evidence for the Big Bang Theory.

The evidence that the universe is expanding comes with something called the red shift<span> of light. Light travels to Earth from other galaxies. As the light from that galaxy gets closer to Earth, the distance between Earth and the galaxy increases, which causes the wavelength of that light to get longer.</span>

Explanation:

When the light coming from any object is seen through a prism or diffraction grating, we can see its spectrum consisting of 7 colors (VIBGYOR).

When the object moves towards the observer the spectrum will shift towards the blue part (decrease in wavelength) known as Blue shift and if the object moves away, the spectrum will shift towards red (increase in wavelength) known as Red shift.

Edwin Hubble, Alexander Friedmann, and Georges Lemaitre in 1920s used observed Red Shift in the celestial objects to prove that galaxies are moving away which is in line with the Big Bang theory which states that Universe started with a huge expansion and is continuously expanding. Later on observation done through Hubble Space telescope corroborated this.

When do dementia come about
Cerrena [4.2K]
Dementia is a brain disease that causes a decline in memory and cognitive functioning at a much more rapid rate that is expected due to normal aging. There is no known cure and no set age that dementia can occur, but roughly 10% of people will develop it at some point in their lives. It typically affects older people and about 50% of people over 85 have dementia.

what output force is generated when an input force of 630 n is applied to a machine with a mechanical advantage of 3
Marta_Voda [28]
The mechanical advantage is the factor by which
the machine multiplies the input force.

If the MA is 3 and the input force is 630N, then
the output force is

           (3) x (630N) = 1,890N

Which of the following statements is true about earth's magnetic poles
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer: b) they are the areas where Earth's magnetic field is weakest

Explanation:

According to classical physics, a magnetic field always has two associated magnetic poles (north and south), the same happens with magnets. This is because for <em>classical physics</em>, naturally, magnetic monopoles can not exist.  

In this context, Earth is similar to a magnetic bar with a north pole and a south pole. This means, the axis that crosses the Earth from pole to pole is like a big magnet.  

Now, by convention, on all magnets the north pole is where the magnetic lines of force leave the magnet and the south pole is where the magnetic lines of force enter the magnet.  Then, for the case of the Earth, the north pole of the magnet is located towards the geographic south pole and the south pole of the magnet is near the geographic north pole.  

Being the magnetic poles the places where the Earth's magnetic field is weakest. And it is for this reason, moreover, that the magnetic field lines enter the Earth through its magnetic south pole (which is the geographic north pole).

You are designing a new piece of fishing equipment that will allow you to catch a fish from the surface. You know that water ref
OleMash [197]

Answer:

Law of refraction

Explanation:

An experiment to analyze the refraction of light in water can easily be performed with a laser pointer and protractor.

We throw the fishing rod line into the water, place the protractor at the point where the line touches the water and use the direction of the line for the direction of the laser pointer (on), the laser is visible by the reflection on the particles in the air.

The vertical line is called Normal and all angles must be measured with respect to this reference in optics.

Having these angles and the refractive index of water we can use the law of refraction

         n₁ sin θ₁  = n₂ sin θ₂

         θ₂ = sin^{-1} ( \frac{n_1}{n_2} \ sin \ \theta_1 )

we can repeat several times to analyze several different input points (different angles) and to decrease the errors in the measurements.

the refractive index of air is n1 = 1 and n2= 1.33  (water)
