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

Matthew drives 10 meters to go to the park at her the park he goes to the movie theatre which is 15 meters away from the park. H

Step2247 [10]

Answer: 0 m

Explanation:

Let's begin by stating clear that movement is the change of position of a body at a certain time. So, during this movement, the body will have a trajectory and a displacement, being both different:

The trajectory is the <u>path followed by the body</u> (is a scalar quantity).

The displacement is <u>the distance in a straight line between the initial and final position</u> (is a vector quantity).

According to this, in the description Matthew's home is placed at 0 on a number line, then he moves 10 m to the park (this is the distance between the park and Mattew's home), then 15 m to the movie theatre until he finally comes back to his home (position 0). So, in this case we are talking about the <u>path followed by Matthew</u>, hence <u>his trajectory</u>.

However, if we talk about Matthew's displacement, we have to draw a straight line between Matthew's initial position (point 0) to his final position (also point 0).

Now, being this an unidimensional problem, the displacement vector for Matthew is 0 meters.

A solid sphere is released from the top of a ramp that is at a height h1 = 2.30 m. It rolls down the ramp without slipping. The

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

The horizontal distance d does the ball travel before landing is 1.72 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of ramp $h_{1}=2.30\ m$

Height of bottom of ramp $h_{2}=1.69\ m$

Diameter = 0.17 m

Suppose we need to calculate the horizontal distance d does the ball travel before landing?

We need to calculate the time

Using equation of motion

$h_{2}=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h_{2}}{g}}$

$t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times1.69}{9.8}}$

$t=0.587\ sec$

We need to calculate the velocity of the ball

Using formula of kinetic energy

$K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2$

$K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+\dfrac{1}{2}\times(\dfrac{2}{5}mr^2)\times(\dfrac{v}{r})^2$

$K.E=\dfrac{7}{10}mv^2$

Using conservation of energy

$K.E=mg(h_{1}-h_{2})$

$\dfrac{7}{10}mv^2=mg(h_{1}-h_{2})$

$v^2=\dfrac{10}{7}\times g(h_{1}-h_{2})$

Put the value into the formula

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{10\times9.8\times(2.30-1.69)}{7}}$

$v=2.922\ m/s$

We need to calculate the horizontal distance d does the ball travel before landing

Using formula of distance

$d =vt$

Where. d = distance

t = time

v = velocity

Put the value into the formula

$d=2.922\times 0.587$

$d=1.72\ m$

Hence, The horizontal distance d does the ball travel before landing is 1.72 m.
