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

A book with mass 2.3 kg sits on a table. What is the normal force on the
natita [175]

Explanation:

The table is level and there are no other forces on the book, so the normal force is equal to the weight.

N = mg

N = (2.3 kg) (9.8 m/s²)

N = 22.5 N

A student's life was saved in an automobile accident because an airbag expanded in front of his head. If the car had not been eq
dexar [7]

Answer:    

Compared to windshield the airbag exerts much lesser force  

Explanation:

Impulse is defined as change in momentum of the object when it is acted upon by a force during interval of time

<em>Impulse = Impulsive force *time</em>

I = F*Δt

If the object should be bought to rest from certain velocity there should be change in momentum. If the duration in which the momentum is increased then there would be less force applied and hence less damage.

Airbags are used to reduce the force experience by the people when they are met with accident by extending the time required to stop the momentum.

During the collision, the passenger is carried towards the<em> windshield</em> and if they are stopped by collision with wind shield the force will be larger and more damage.But if they are hit with airbag then the force will be less due to increased time.

The change is momentum will be the same with or without momentum but its the time that decides the impact of force.By making it longer the force become less.

<em>Thus compared to the windshield the airbag exerts much lesser force.</em>

Determine the focal length of a plano-concave lens (refractive index n =1.5) with 24 cm radius of curvature on its curve surface
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Option 3: -48 cm

Explanation:

We are given:

refractive index; n = 1.5

radius of curvature; r2 = 24 cm

Formula for the focal length is given as;

1/f = (n - 1) × [(1/r1) - (1/r2)]

As r1 tends to infinity, 1/r1 = 0

Thus,we now have;

1/f = (n - 1) × (-1/r2)

Plugging in the relevant values;

1/f = (1.5 - 1) × (-1/24)

1/f = -0.02083333333

f = -1/0.02083333333

f = -48 cm

A large fake cookie sliding on a horizontal surface is attached to one end of a horizontal spring with spring constant k = 440 N
irinina [24]

Answer:

a) 0.275 m b) 13.6 J

Explanation:

In absence of friction, the energy is exchanged between the spring (potential energy) and the cookie (kinetic energy), so at any point, the sum of both energies must be the same:

E = ½ kx2 + ½ mv2

If we take as initial state, the instant when the cookie is passing through the spring’s equilibrium position, all the energy is kinetic, and we know that is equal to 20.0 J.

After sliding to the right, while is being acted on by a friction force, it came momentarily at rest. At this point, the initial kinetic energy, has become potential elastic energy, in part, and in thermal energy also, represented by the work done by the friction force.

So, for this state, we can say the following:

Ki = Uf + Eth = ½* k*d2 + Ff*d

20.0J = ½ *440 N/m* d2 + 11.0 *d, where d is the compressed length of the spring, which is equal to the distance travelled by the cookie before coming momentarily at rest.

We have a quadratic equation, that, after simplifying terms, can be solved as follows, applying the quadratic formula:

d = -0.05/2 +/- √0.090625 = -0.025 +/- 0.3 = 0.275 m (we take the positive root)

b) If we take as our new initial status the moment at which the spring is compressed, and the cookie is at rest, all the energy is potential:

E = Ui = 1/2 k d²

In this case, d is the same value that we got in a), i.e., 0.275 m (as the distance travelled by the cookie after going through the equilibrium point is the same length that the spring have been compressed).

E= 1/2 440 N/m . (0.275)m² = 16.6 J

When the cookie passes again through the equilibrium position, the energy will be in part kinetic, and in part, it will have become thermal energy again.

So, we can write the following equation:

Kf = Ui - Ff.d = 16.6 J - 11.0 (0.275) m = 16.6 J - 3.03 J = 13.6 J
