A spectral line from a star is observed to have a wavelength of 656.5 nm. The rest wavelength of this line is 656.8 nm. (a) What

is the speed of the star, and (b) is it approaching or receding from the Earth? (c) If the star’s emitted wavelength is the same as the rest value, what is happening?

Answer:

speed of star is  1.37 × 10^{5} m/s

it is approaching to earth because wavelength of star is decreasing than rest

if emit same wavelength it does not move anywhere

it will remain steady condition with respect earth

Explanation:

given data

wavelength = 656.5 nm

rest wavelength = 656.8 nm

to find out

the speed of the star , is it approaching

solution

we know here equation that is

wavelength shift / wavelength at rest  = velocity of source / speed of light

so put all value and find

velocity of source = 3 × 10^{-9} × 3 × 10^{8} / 656.8 × 10^{-9}

velocity of source star = 1.37 × 10^{5} m/s

and

it is approaching to earth because wavelength of star is decreasing than rest

and

if emit same wavelength it does not move anywhere

it will remain steady condition with respect earth

Reil [10]

1200

Explanation:

F = m x (v / t)

v / t = F / m

v = (F / m) / t

v = (600 / 5) / 0.1

v = 120 / 0.1

v = 1200 m / s

In an attempt to impress its friends, an acrobatic beetle runs and jumps off the bottom step of a flight of stairs. The step is
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

0.3677181864 m

Explanation:

u = Velocity = 1.5 m/s

\theta = Angle = 20°

y = -20 cm

Velocity components

u_x=ucos\theta\\\Rightarrow u_x=1.5cos20\\\Rightarrow u_x=1.40953\ m/s

u_y=usin\theta\\\Rightarrow u_y=1.5sin20\\\Rightarrow u_y=0.51303\ m/s

Acceleration components

a_x=0

a_y=-9.81\ m/s^2

y=u_yt+\dfrac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\\Rightarrow -0.2=0.51303\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times -9.81t^2\\\Rightarrow 4.905t^2-0.51303t-0.2=0

t=\frac{-\left(-0.51303\right)+\sqrt{\left(-0.51303\right)^2-4\cdot \:4.905\left(-0.2\right)}}{2\cdot \:4.905}, \frac{-\left(-0.51303\right)-\sqrt{\left(-0.51303\right)^2-4\cdot \:4.905\left(-0.2\right)}}{2\cdot \:4.905}\\\Rightarrow t=0.26088, -0.15629

Time taken is 0.26088 seconds

x=u_xt+\dfrac{1}{2}a_xt^2\\\Rightarrow x=1.40953\times 0.26088\\\Rightarrow x=0.3677181864\ m

The distance the beetle travels on the ground is 0.3677181864 m

550 g of water at 105°C is poured into an 855 g aluminum container with an initial temperature of 11°C. The specific heat of alu
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

54.22 kJ

Explanation:

In this case, we need to calculate the heat. The expression to use is:

Q = m * C * ΔT

Now, with the specific heat of water (4186 J/ kg K), we can calculate the temperature in which this occurs.

So:

Q = 0.550 * 4186 * (105 - T)

Q = 2302.3 (105 - T)

Q = 241,741.5 - 2302.3T

Now with the Aluminium:

Q = 0.855 * 900 * (T - 11)

Q = 769.5T - 8464.5

Now, with both equations, we solve for the final temperature:

769.5T - 8464.5 = 241,741.5 - 2302.3T

(2302.3 + 769.5)T = 241,741.5 + 8464.5

3071.8T = 250,206

T = 81.45 K

This is the temperature which the change occurs. Now, let's determine the amount of heat from water to Al:

Q = 241,741.5 - 2302.3(81.45)

Q = 54,219.17 J or simply 54.22 kJ.
