Answer:

The Doppler effect says that, if the source of light is moving towards the viewer, then the light will turn to the blue side (the wavelength decreases) if the source of light is moving away, then the light will turn to the red side (the wavelength will increase)

In this case, we have that the light that normally has a wavelength of 654.3 nm, now has 656.3 nm. So we can see that the wavelength increased, which means that the galaxy is moving away from the Earth, is red shifted and the velocity can be found by the equation:

(λ - λ₀)/λ₀ = v/c

Here we have that:

λ = 656.3 nm

λ₀ = 654.3 nm

c = 3.10^6 m/s

and v is the velocity of the galaxy.

(the fact that the units are different does not matter because the units cancel with the divisions)

(656.3 nm - 654.3 nm)/654.3 nm = v/3*10^6m/s

0.003*3*10^6m/s = v = 9000 m/s

Suppose a spring has a relaxed length of 28.3 cm. The simulation refers to this as the natural length. This is the length of the
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Normal length of spring = 28.3 cm

stretched length of spring = 38.2 cm

length of extension = 38.2 - 28.3 = 9.9 cm

= 9.9 x 10⁻² m

force applied to stretch = .55 x 9.8 ( mg )

= 5.39 N

Force constant = force applied / extension

= 5.39 / 9.9 x 10⁻²

= .5444 x 10² N /m

= 54.44 N/m

monitta

Answer:

Strong nuclear force

Explanation:

The particles in the atom's nucleus bond together because there is a strong nuclear force between the protons and neutrons that attracts them to each other and binds together the nucleus.

A garage door opener has a power rating of 350 watts.
Lelechka [254]
We Know, Power = Energy/Time
Substitute the known value. which is P = 350 watt, & T = 30 sec
350 = E/30 
E = 350 * 30
E = 1050 Joules.

So, your answer is 1050 Joules.
Hope this helps! Keep studying!
