We observe a distant object in space and see that the spectral lines for hydrogen in the object's light appear at a shorter wave

length than normal. What does this tell us about the object
Chemistry

Answer:

This tells us the radial velocity of the object and that the object is approaching or coming towards us.

Explanation:

Certain chemicals radiate with particular wavelengths or colors  when their temperature is raised or when they are charged electrically. Also observable are dark strokes separating the spectrum known as absorption lines

These spectral lines of chemicals are well known as stated above and from the phenomenon of Doppler effect, spectroscopy can be used to detect the movement of a distant object by the change of the emitted frequency of the wavelength

The Doppler effect is used in calculating the radial velocity of a distant object due to the fact that an approaching object compresses its emitted signal wavelength while a receding object has a longer wavelength than normal

The element that can act like a metal when it is under tremendous pressure and is probably responsible for Jupiter and Saturn's
erastova [34]

Answer:

1. Hydrogen

Explanation:

These planets contain liquid hydrogen in their interior, while the earth has liquid iron in it.

When liquid hydrogen is in tremendous pressure enviroments, the electrons  that make up each atom of this element end up "jumping" to other atoms. These "jumps" allow liquid hydrogen to behave like a metal.

In addition, with the constant energy released by the nucleus of planets like Jupiter and Saturn, as well as their rotations, the liquid hydrogen receives induction of currents, giving rise to extremely powerful magnetic fields.

Which has more mass: an armful of feathers or an armful of lead? which has more volume: a kilogram of feathers or a kilogram of
valina [46]
Mass is related to weight. It measures the resistance of the substance to acceleration when a net force is applied.
Therefore: armful of lead has more mass

volume measures the amount of 3-dimensional space that an object occupies.
Therefore: kilogram of feather has more volume as it is less dense.

density is the mass per unit volume. Since armful of lead has more mass than a handful of feathers, while kilogram of feather has more volume than a kilogram of lead.
Therefore: kilogram of lead has higher density.

Which colorless and odorless gas, produced by radioactive decay of Uranium-238, is considered to be a cancer-causing agent?
DiKsa [7]
B, radon is correct. Interestingly, it often collects in basements from radioactive decay of rocks such as granite that contain uranium. Because it is an unreactive noble gas and because it is denser than air it sits in basements and must be pumped out. It collects in human lungs and is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind smoking.
