H line of Calcium spectrum is normally given as 396.9 nm

Now from a distant star we measured it as 398.1 nm

So here this change in the wavelength of distant star is due to Doppler's effect of light as per which when source of light moves towards the observer then the frequency of light received will appear different from its actual frequency

So here we can say as per Doppler's effect of light

\frac{\Delta \nu}{\nu_0} = \frac{v}{c}

\frac{\nu' - \nu}{\nu_0} = \frac{v}{c}

\frac{\frac{1}{\lambda} - \frac{1}{\lambda'}}{\frac{1}{\lambda}} = \frac{v}{c}

\frac{\lambda' - \lambda}{\lambda'} = \frac{v}{c}

given that

\lambda' = 398.1 nm

\lambda = 396.9 nm

c = 3 * 10^8 m/s

\frac{398.1 - 396.9}{398.1} = \frac{v}{3*10^8}

v = 3*10^8 * \frac{1.2}{398.1}

v = 9.04 * 10^5 m/s

so the start is moving away with speed 9.04 * 10^5 m/s because when wavelength is more than the real wavelength then its frequency is less which mean it is moving away from the Earth

Find the position of the center of mass of the system of the sun and Jupiter? (Since Jupiter is more massive than the rest of th
8090 [49]

Answer:

r_{cm} = 0.074 m from the position of the center of the Sun

Explanation:

As we know that mass of Sun and Jupiter is given as

M_s = 1.98 \times 10^{30} kg

M_j = 1.89 \times 10^{27} kg

distance between Sun and Jupiter is given as

r = 7.78 \times 10^{11} m

now let the position of Sun is origin and position of Jupiter is given at the position same as the distance between them

so we will have

r_{cm} = \frac{M_s r_1 + M_j r_2}{M_s + M_j}

r_{cm} = \frac{1.98 \times 10^{30} (0) + (1.89 \times 10^{27})(7.78 \times 10^{11})}{1.98 \times 10^{30} + 1.89 \times 10^{27}}

r_{cm} = 0.074 m from the position of the center of the Sun

A 6.0 kg metal ball moving at 4.0 m/s hits a 6.0 kg ball of putty at rest and sticks to it. The two go on at 2.0 m/s.
lutik1710 [3]

The metal ball lost energy while the putty ball gained energy.

<h3>What is momentum?</h3>

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity of the body. We must note that momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision.

1) Kinetic energy before collision = 1/2mv^2 = 0.5 * 6 * 4 = 12 J

2) kinetic energy after collision = 0.5 * 6 *  2= 6 J

3) Kinetic energy of putty ball = 0.5 * 6 *  2= 6 J

4) Energy lost by the metal ball = 12 J -  6 J = 6 J

5) Energy gained by the putty ball = 6 J - 0J = 6 J

6) The rest of the energy was converted to heat after the collision.

(a) What is the potential between two points situated 10 cm and 20 cm from a 3.0-μC point charge? (b) To what location should th
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

(a) 135 kV

(b) The charge chould be moved to infinity

Explanation:

(a)

The potential at a distance of <em>r</em> from a point charge, <em>Q</em>, is given by

V = -\dfrac{kQ}{r}

where k = 9\times 10^9 \text{ F/m}

Difference in potential between the points is

kQ\left[-\dfrac{1}{0.2\text{ m}} -\left( -\dfrac{1}{0.1\text{ m}}\right)\right] = \dfrac{kQ}{0.2\text{ m}} = \dfrac{9\times10^9\text{ F/m}\times3\times10^{-6}\text{ C}}{0.2\text{ m}}

PD = 135\times 10^3\text{ V} = 135\text{ kV}

(b)

If this potential difference is increased by a factor of 2, then the new pd = 135 kV × 2 = 270 kV. Let the distance of the new location be <em>x</em>.

270\times10^3 = kQ\left[-\dfrac{1}{x}-\left(-\dfrac{1}{0.1\text{ m}}\right)\right]

10 - \dfrac{1}{x} = \dfrac{270000}{9\times10^9\times3\times10^{-6}} = 10

\dfrac{1}{x} = 0

x = \infty

The charge chould be moved to infinity
