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.

Two parallel-plate capacitors have the same plate area. Capacitor 1 has a plate separation twice that of capacitor 2, and the qu
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

V_1=8 V_2

Explanation:

Given that:

  • Area of the plate of capacitor 1= Area of the plate of capacitor 2=A
  • separation distance of capacitor 2, d_2=d
  • separation distance of capacitor 1, d_1=2d
  • quantity of charge on capacitor 2, Q_2=Q
  • quantity of charge on capacitor 1, Q_1=4Q

We know that the Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is directly proportional to the area and inversely proportional to the distance of separation.

Mathematically given as:

C=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}.....................................(1)

where:

k = relative permittivity of the dielectric material between the plates= 1 for air

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\times 10^{-12}\,F.m^{-1}

From eq. (1)

For capacitor 2:

C_2=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}

For capacitor 1:

C_1=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{2d}

C_1=\frac{1}{2} [ \frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}]

We know, potential differences across a capacitor is given by:

V=\frac{Q}{C}..........................................(2)

where, Q = charge on the capacitor plates.

for capacitor 2:

V_2=\frac{Q}{\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}}

V_2=\frac{Q.d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}

& for capacitor 1:

V_1=\frac{4Q}{\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{2d}}

V_1=\frac{4Q\times 2d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}

V_1=8\times [\frac{Q.d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}]

V_1=8 V_2

What causes an object to move, change direction or change speed?
Wittaler [7]
I believe it would be an unbalanced force. Because the forces are unbalanced, one side is stronger and, therefore, the object will move.

Infer whether a system can have kinetic energy and potential energy at the same time
Rasek [7]
Yes, an object can have both of these at the same time. Potential energy is energy that is stored in an object. Kinetic energy is the energy that is associated with motion. So what you have to have is an object that is in motion but still has more energy that it has yet to convert into kinetic energy.
