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.

How much time would it take a ball to roll 20 yards if it is rolling 4yds/min?
LekaFEV [45]

speed rate = 4 yards per minute (yds/min)

Distance = 20 yards

time = t

Apply the formula:

time = Distance / speed rate

Replacing:

Time = 20 yards / 4 yds/min = 5 minutes

Radio wave radiation falls in the wavelength region of 10.0 to 1000 meters. What is the energy of radio wave radiation that has
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Wavelength of radiation \lambda =784\ m

We know Energy of wave with wavelength \lambda is given by

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }

where h=Planck's constant

c=velocity of light

\lambda=wavelength of wave

E=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{784}

E=2.53\times 10^{-28}\ J

Hence the energy of the wave with wavelength 784 m is 2.53\times 10^{-28}\ J

Two rocket ships named Alpha and Beta are at rest in space. Alpha fires its engines, and accelerates because of the thrust (or f
maria [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Beta rocket has twice the mass of Alpha engine

suppose alpha has a mass of m so beta has 2 m mass

Thrust force on alpha is F

thrust force on beta is 2 F

Acceleration of alpha   a_{alpha}=\frac{F}{m}

Acceleration of beat   a_{beta}=\frac{2F}{2m}=\frac{F}{m}

Therefore acceleration of alpha and beta is same

an airplane maintains a speed of 567 km/h relative to the air it is flying through as it makes a tripto a city 780 km away to th
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
A ) v = 567 - 33 = 534 km/h
     v = d / t    ⇒   t = d / v
     t = 780 km / 534 km/h = 1.46 h 
b ) v = 567 + 33 = 600 km/h
     t = 780 km / 600 km/h = 1.3 h
c ) v = (567² +33²) ^(1/2) = √320,400 = 566 km/h
     t = 780 km/ 566 km/h = 1.378 h

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

20 hertz of frequency produced.

Explanation:

\boxed{frequency = \frac{1}{period} }

Here we will find frequency and period should be in second, here given: 0.05 seconds

using the formula:

\boxed{frequency = \frac{1}{0.05} }

\boxed{frequency =20}
