What do you measure when you measure an object’s mass?

Effectus [21]

Answer:

how much space it takes up in the world

Explanation:

1) Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter something contains, while Weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object. 2) Mass is measured by using a balance comparing a known amount of matter to an unknown amount of matter. Weight is measured on a scale.

Suppose that you observe light emitted from a distant star to be at a wavelength of 525 nm. The wavelength of light to an observ

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

The velocity of the star is 0.532 c.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of observer = 525 nm

Wave length of source = 950 nm

We need to calculate the velocity

If the direction is from observer to star.

From Doppler effect

$\lambda_{0}=\sqrt{\dfrac{c+v}{c-v}}\times\lambda_{s}$

Put the value into the formula

$525=\sqrt{\dfrac{c+v}{c-v}}\times950$

$\dfrac{c+v}{c-v}=(\dfrac{525}{950})^2$

$\dfrac{c+v}{c-v}=0.305$

$c+v=0.305\times(c-v)$

$v(1+0.305)=c(0.305-1)$

$v=\dfrac{0.305-1}{1+0.305}c$

$v=−0.532c$

Negative sign shows the star is moving toward the observer.

Hence, The velocity of the star is 0.532 c.

The equation Bold r (t )equals(8 t plus 9 )Bold i plus (2 t squared minus 8 )Bold j plus (6 t )Bold k is the position of a parti

KATRIN_1 [288]

Explanation:

It is given that, the position of a particle as as function of time t is given by :

$r(t)=(8t+9)i+(2t^2-8)j+6tk$

Let v is the velocity of the particle. Velocity of an object is given by :

$v=\dfrac{dr(t)}{dt}$

$v=\dfrac{d[(8t+9)i+(2t^2-8)j+6tk]}{dt}$

$v=(8i+4tj+6k)\ m/s$

So, the above equation is the velocity vector.

Let a is the acceleration of the particle. Acceleration of an object is given by :

$a=\dfrac{dv(t)}{dt}$

$a=\dfrac{d[8i+4tj+6k]}{dt}$

$a=(4j)\ m/s^2$

At t = 0, $v=(8i+0+6k)\ m/s$

$v(t)=\sqrt{8^2+6^2} =10\ m/s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Two waves meet and overlap. The first wave has an amplitude of 4.6 centimeters and the second wave has an amplitude of 2 centime

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The amplitude of resultant wave as the result of overlap of two waves depends upon the phase difference between the two. If the waves meet crest to trough , the phase difference is 180 degree or they are in opposite phase . Hence they will destroy each other . The amplitude of resultant wave can be obtained by subtracting the amplitudes of two waves. They will interfere destructively.

Amplitude of resultant gives waves = 4.6 - 2 = 2.6 cm.
