Answer:

Either absorption or emission lines

Explanation:

For the radial speed of an astronomical object to be determined with a Doppler shift, what must we be able to see in the object's spectrum, Either absorption or Emission lines.

Asorption and Emission line explained below;

  • Absorption lines are usually seen as dark lines, or lines of reduced intensity, on a continuous spectrum.
  • An emission line will appear in a spectrum if the source emits specific wavelengths of radiation.

Answer:

The object's spectrum must contain a Doppler shift

Explanation:

This is because, the radial speed of the object is determined from the absorption and emission spectral lines.

The object can either be "blue shifted" or "red shifted". This blue or red shift helps us determine the radial speed of the object.

If the astronomical object moves towards us, it is blue shifted and if it moves away from us, it is red shifted.

This extra shift in its wavelength can thus be used to determine the radial speed of the astronomical object.

A rocket, initially at rest, is fired vertically with an upward acceleration of 10 m/s2. At an altitude of 0.50 km, the engine o
noname [10]

Answer:

The maximum altitude reached with respect to the ground = 0.5 + 0.510 = 1.01 km

Explanation:

Using the equations of motion,

When the rocket is fired from the ground,

u = initial velocity = 0 m/s (since it was initially at rest)

a = 10 m/s²

The engine cuts off at y = 0.5 km = 500 m

The velocity at that point = v

v² = u² + 2ay

v² = 0² + 2(10)(500) = 10000

v = 100 m/s

The velocity at this point is the initial velocity for the next phase of the motion

u = 100 m/s

v = final velocity = 0 m/s (at maximum height, velocity = 0)

y = vertical distance travelled after the engine shuts off beyond 0.5 km = ?

g = acceleration due to gravity = - 9.8 m/s²

v² = u² + 2gy

0 = 100² + 2(-9.8)(y)

- 19.6 y = - 10000

y = 510.2 m = 0.510 km

So, the maximum altitude reached with respect to the ground = 0.5 + 0.510 = 1.01 km

Hope this helps!!!

How much force is needed to accelerate a 1,800kg car at rate of 1.5 m/s2?
topjm [15]

<u>Given data:</u>

acceleration (a) = 1.5 m/s² ,

           mass (m) = 1800 Kg ,

        Determine F = ?

         <em>From Newtons II law</em>

                          F = m.a   N

                              = 1800× 1.5

                             = 2700 N

<em>2700 N force needed to accelerate the car</em>
