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.

Answer:

The Principle of Progression

(I searched it up since I never learned this)

Explanation:

The principle of progression states that a person should start slowly and increase exercise gradually. Since Mandy is just getting started on her exercise routine, she should begin with a few workouts over a large span of time, then work her way up so she can do more workouts in a shorter span of time.

Which ball has the greater average speed during the 1-s interval after release (assuming neither hits the ground during that tim
notka56 [123]

Answer:

The ball thrown downward

Explanation:

When the ball is thrown vertically, the acceleration of it is the gravity acceleration independent if it is thrown downward or upward. However, the acceleration is a vector, so, when the ball is thrown upward, the movement is against the gravity, so the acceleration is negative, and so, the velocity decreases during time; and when the ball is thrown downward, the movement goes to the gravity, so the acceleration is positive, so the velocity increase after time passes.

Find the length of the third side of the triangle.
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

v

Image result for What is the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle below

One way to solve this is to use Pythagorean theorem: the square of one leg of triangle plus square of other leg of the triangle equals c the hypotenuse (longest side of triangle). You might see this as the formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.Nov 23, 2016
