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.

irinina [24]

Answer:

The velocity is 31.25 m/s and direction is toward west.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance h= 1790 km = 1.790\times10^{6}\ m

Magnetic field B=4\times10^{-8}\ T

Mass of proton m=1.673\times10^{-21}\ Kg

Radius of earth R =6.38\times10^{6}\ m

Radius of orbit r=R+h

r=6.38\times10^{6}+1.790\times10^{6}

r=8170000\ m

We need to calculate the speed

Using formula of magnetic field

Bvq=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

v=\dfrac{Bqr}{m}

Put the value into the formula

v=\dfrac{4\times10^{-8}\times1.6\times10^{-19}\times8170000}{1.673\times10^{-21}}

v=31.25\ m/s

Hence, The velocity is 31.25 m/s and direction is toward west.

Albert presses a book against a wall with his hand. As Albert gets tired, he exerts less force, but the book remains in the same
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

maximum static frictional force of the wall on the book (Increasing)

normal force of the wall on the book (Decreasing)

weight of the book (Not changing)

Explanation:

Now according to Newton's third law of motion

"Every action has equal but opposite reaction"

By the data given in question, Albert was pressing the book against the wall.Now, Albert started to reduce his force up against the wall.

First we have to consider all the forces applied on book in this scenario.

1. Weight of book acting downwards (y-axis)

2. Friction between book and wall acting upward (y-axis)

3. Albert's force on book against wall (x-axis)

4. Normal reaction of wall against Albert's force (x-axis)

Now, when Albert reduced his force, new scenario will be

1. Weight will be remain constant as it is W = mg

Neither mass nor acceleration due to gravity changed, so weight acting upon the book will remain same.

2. When Albert reduced force, normal reaction of wall reduced against it according to Newton's third law of motion

3. Now notice that friction is a force which acts in accordance with the applied force. For example if a box is placed at floor, no friction is applied, but when you drag the box, friction starts to act and increases until its limit comes. So, when Albert reduced his force, weight will try to pull the book and maximum static friction will increase to hinder the movement of book downwards.

Notice that maximum static friction will hinder the book from movement, since Albert reduced his force, but wight didn't pull the book, which means that maximum static friction increased to hinder downward motion.
