Observers in a distant solar system are watching our Sun and using the radial velocity method to try to determine whether the Su

n has planets. Because of the gravitational pull of Jupiter, the observers see the Sun's spectrum slowly redshift and then blueshift by a tiny amount. How long must they observe to see a full cycle?

Answer: almost 12 years

Explanation:

Using the radial velocity method, planet hunters can track a sun's spectrum, to determine whether the sun has planets. The spectrum appears first slightly blue-shifted, and then slightly red-shifted. If the shifts are regular, repeating themselves at fixed intervals of days, months, or even years, it  is almost certainly caused by a body orbiting the sun, tugging it back and forth over the course of its orbit. Because of the gravitational pull of Jupiter (about 3,000 times the mass of Earth), In which its average distance from the sun is 480 millions miles and takes nearly 12 years to make one revolution.

(PLS HELP 20 POINTS, IM TOO DUMB FOR THIS) What is the total momentum of the system after the collision?​
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
Using the law of conservation of momentum
m1u1+m2u2=m1v1+m2v2
Where m1 is mass of first object
m2 is mass of second object
u1 and u2 are initial velocities of object 1 and 2 respectively
v1 and v2 are final velocities of object 1 and 2 respectively
Here, they are moving as a system after collision. Thus they will posses same final velocity
m1u1 +m2u2=v(m1+m2)
Substituting values
600*4+0=v(600+400)
2400=v*1000
v=2.4 m/s

Now momentum of system
p=Mv
p=(600+400)*2.4
p=1000*2.4
Therefore p=2400 kg m/s
Hope this helps :)

Atoms with many electron shells will let go of their electrons more easily than those with fewer shells.
Anna007 [38]

True

The more the number of shells will let go of their outer electrons more easily because the effective nuclear charge on the outer (valence) electrons will be lower. This is called 'shielding', the outer electrons will be shielded from the nucleus by the inner electrons.

Hope this Helps

A racing car on a straight accelerates from 100mph to 316 mph in three seconds what is the acceleration?
omeli [17]

Answer:

72mph/sec

Explanation:

The car goes from 100mph to 316mph in three seconds. Meaning it increases its speed by (316 - 100)mph in three seconds. That is 216 mph increase in three seconds. So, we divide the speed increase by the amount of time the increase occurred over. We get:

216mph / 3sec = 72mph/sec, our final answer

Hope it made sense. I would appreciate Brainliest, but no worries.

Two factors that regulate (control) glandular secretion.
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

The factors include age and puberty

Explanation:

Glandular secretion release chemicals such as hormones in response to the body’s metabolic needs.

As an individual ages , the metabolic rate of the body also reduces . This is due to the stress and ageing of the cells of the body. This explains why glandular secretion is optimal with young people and Lower in older people. It also explains why the immune system of a young person is mostly stronger than older people.

Puberty is another factor which affects glandular secretion as during puberty there is usually a high amount of hormonal changes due to high levels of secretions of some hormones. These hormones could however inhibit the other glandular secretions.
