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

A block of aluminum at a temperature of T1 = 32 degrees C has a mass of m1 = 12 kg. It is brought into contact with another bloc
Mariulka [41]

Answer:T=21.33 ^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given

mass of First Block m_1=12 kg

Temperature T_1=32^{\circ}

mass of second block m_2=0.5 m_1=6 kg

Temperature T_2=9^{\circ}

Heat capacity of aluminium c=899 J/kg-K

Final Temperature acquired by both blocks at steady state

Heat loss first block =Heat gain by second block

m_1\times c\times (32-T)=m_2\times c\times (T-9)

12\times 899\times (32-T)=6\times 899\times (T-9)

2\times 32=3T

T=\frac{64}{3}=21.33 ^{\circ}

Object A has a mass m and a speed v, object B has a mass m/2 and a speed 4v, and object C has a mass 3m and a speed v/3. Rank th
borishaifa [10]
<h2>The rank is : P_B>P_A=P_C .</h2>

We need to rank the objects according to the magnitude of their momentum.

We know momentum ,P = m\times v{ here m is mass and v is velocity }

Momentum of object A , P_A = m v.

Momentum of object B , P_B= \dfrac{m}{2}\times4v=2\ mv.

Momentum of object C  , P_C= 3m\times\dfrac{v}{3}=mv.

Now, we can rank them in order of  their magnitude of momentum .

P_B>P_A=P_C.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson needs to escape from the fourth floor of a burning building (in a movie). He ties a rope around his wa
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Final Speed of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson = 15.812 m/s

Explanation:

Let's start out with finding the force acting downwards because of the mass of 'The Rock':

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson: 118kg x 9.81m/s = 1157.58 N

Now the problem also states that the kinetic friction of the desk in this problem is 370 N

Since the pulley is smooth, the weight of Dwayne Johnson being transferred fully, and pulls the desk with a force of 1157.58 N. The frictional force of the desk is resisting this motion by a force of 370 N. Subtracting both forces we get the resultant force on the desk to be: 1157.58 - 370 = 787.58 N

Now lets use F = ma to calculate for the acceleration of the desk:

787.58 = 63 x acceleration

acceleration = 12.501 m/s

Finally, we can use the motion equation:

v^2 - u^2 = 2*a*s

here u = 0 m/s (since initial speed of the desk is 0)

a = 12.501 m/s

and s = 10 m

Solving this we get:

v^2 - 0 = 2 * 12.501 * 10

v = 15.812 m/s

Since the desk and Mr. Dwayne Johnson are connected by a taught rope, they are travelling at the same speed. Thus, Dwayne also travels at            15.812 m/s when the desk reaches the window.

An electron and a proton are held on an x axis, with the electron at x = + 1.000 m
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

  r2 = 1 m

therefore the electron that comes with velocity does not reach the origin, it stops when it reaches the position of the electron at x = 1m

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use conservation of energy

the electric potential energy is

          U = k \frac{q_1q_2}{r_{12}}

for the proton at x = -1 m

          U₁ =- k \frac{e^2 }{r+1}

for the electron at x = 1 m

          U₂ = k \frac{e^2 }{r-1}

starting point.

        Em₀ = K + U₁ + U₂

        Em₀ = \frac{1}{2} m v^2 - k \frac{e^2}{r+1} + k \frac{e^2}{r-1}

final point

         Em_f = k e^2 ( -\frac{1}{r_2 +1} + \frac{1}{r_2 -1})

   

energy is conserved

        Em₀ = Em_f

        \frac{1}{2} m v^2 - k \frac{e^2}{r+1} + k \frac{e^2}{r-1} = k e^2 (- \frac{1}{r_2 +1} + \frac{1}{r_2 -1})              

       

        \frac{1}{2} m v^2 - k \frac{e^2}{r+1} + k \frac{e^2}{r-1} = k e²(  \frac{2}{(r_2+1)(r_2-1)} )

we substitute the values

½ 9.1 10⁻³¹ 450 + 9 10⁹ (1.6 10⁻¹⁹)² [ - \frac{1}{20+1} + \frac{1}{20-1} ) = 9 109 (1.6 10-19) ²( \frac{2}{r_2^2 -1} )

          2.0475 10⁻²⁸ + 2.304 10⁻³⁷ (5.0125 10⁻³) = 4.608 10⁻³⁷ ( \frac{1}{r_2^2 -1} )

          2.0475 10⁻²⁸ + 1.1549 10⁻³⁹ = 4.608 10⁻³⁷     \frac{1}{r_2^2 -1}

          \frac{2.0475 \ 10^{-28} }{1.1549 \ 10^{-37} } = \frac{1}{r_2^2 -1}

          r₂² -1 = (4.443 10⁸)⁻¹

           

          r2 = \sqrt{1 + 2.25 10^{-9}}

          r2 = 1 m

therefore the electron that comes with velocity does not reach the origin, it stops when it reaches the position of the electron at x = 1m
