You observe a distant galaxy. You find that a spectral line, resulting from an electron transition in hydrogen, is shifted from

its normal location in the visible part of the spectrum into the infrared part of the spectrum. What can you conclude?

Answer:

The galaxy is moving away from the observer

Explanation: when a galaxy is moving away from us, the light we percieve from it is "streched". Since the wavelength has an inverse raltionship whith frequency, the longer the wavelength is, the lower the frequency. And lower frequencies correspond to red and infrarred light.

So when we see the light has shifted to the infrarred part of the spectrum, it means the source is traveling away from us, making the light waves we percieve streched and move from visible light to infrarred.

A certain moving electron has a kinetic energy of 0.991 × 10−19 J. Calculate the speed necessary for the electron to have this e
alisha [4.7K]

Answer: The speed necessary for the electron to have this energy is 466462 m/s

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by an object by virtue of its motion.

K.E=\frac{1mv^2}{2}

K.E= kinetic energy = 0.991\times 10^{-19}J

m= mass of an electron = 9.109\times 10^{-31}kg

v= velocity of object = ?

Putting in the values in the equation:

0.991\times 10^{-19}J=\frac{1\times 9.109\times 10^{-31}kg\times v^2}{2}

v=466462m/s

The speed necessary for the electron to have this energy is 466462 m/s

Why can work be thought of as the transfer of energy? Please help it's physics
deff fn [24]
That is because work requires energy. According to the law of conservation of energy, it cannot be created or destroyed. When doing work, energy change forms and gets transferred to the object until it is released.
for example, when you lift up an object and place it on a higher elevation, you transferred energy to it and gave it potential energy. The potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy when the object falls down, and if it hits a surface, the energy will scatter, vibrating the areas around it and producing sound.
Also, work= force X distance. The energy does not go away, but rather get changed into some other form of energy

A 0.300 kg block is pressed against a spring with a spring constant of 8050 N/m until the spring is compressed by 6.00 cm. When
natita [175]

Answer:

a) \mu_{k} = 0.704, b) R = 0.312\,m

Explanation:

a) The minimum coeffcient of friction is computed by the following expression derived from the Principle of Energy Conservation:

\frac{1}{2}\cdot k \cdot x^{2} = \mu_{k}\cdot m\cdot g \cdot \Delta s

\mu_{k} = \frac{k\cdot x^{2}}{2\cdot m\cdot g \cdot \Delta s}

\mu_{k} = \frac{\left(8050\,\frac{N}{m} \right)\cdot (0.06\,m)^{2}}{2\cdot (0.3\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (7\,m)}

\mu_{k} = 0.704

b) The speed of the block is determined by using the Principle of Energy Conservation:

\frac{1}{2}\cdot k \cdot x^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2}

v = x\cdot \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

v = (0.06\,m)\cdot \sqrt{\frac{8050\,\frac{N}{m} }{0.3\,kg} }

v \approx 9.829\,\frac{m}{s}

The radius of the circular loop is:

\Sigma F_{r} = -90\,N -(0.3\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} ) = -(0.3\,kg)\cdot \frac{v^{2}}{R}

\frac{\left(9.829\,\frac{m}{s}\right)^{2}}{R} = 309.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

R = 0.312\,m

Which of the following takes place in the combustion chamber of a gas turbine engine?A. A glow plug is used to add enough heat t
erica [24]

Answer:

Fuel oil is mixed with a proper portion of compressed air

Explanation:

A gas turbine has three main part, which are

  • combustion chamber
  • air compressor
  • power turbine

The combustion chamber is responsible for mixing fuel with a proper portion of compressed air.

The air compressor supplies air in sufficient quantity to satisfy the requirements of the combustion chamber

The power turbine produces the power to drive the air compressor.
