Answer:

doppler effect

Explanation:

When the relative motion of two bodies results in the wavelength becoming shorter this means that the bodies are getting closer. This is known as blue shift.

When the relative motion of two bodies results in the wavelength becoming longer this means that the bodies are getting farther. This is known as red shift.

Collectively this phenomenon is known as the Doppler effect.

A brave child decides to grab onto an already spinning merry‑go‑round. The child is initially at rest and has a mass of 25.5 kg.
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

72.75 kg m^2

Explanation:

initial angular velocity, ω = 35 rpm

final angular velocity, ω' =  19 rpm

mass of child, m = 15.5 kg

distance from the centre, d = 1.55 m

Let the moment of inertia of the merry go round is I.

Use the concept of conservation of angular momentum

I ω = I' ω'

where I' be the moment of inertia of merry go round and child

I x 35 = ( I + md^2) ω'

I x 35 = ( I + 25.5 x 1.55 x 1.55) x 19

35 I = 19 I + 1164

16 I = 1164

I = 72.75 kg m^2

Thus, the moment of inertia of the merry go round is 72.75 kg m^2.

Why isn't Coulomb's law valid for dielectric objects, even if they are spherically symmetrical?
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Explanation:

The "traditional" form of Coulomb's law, explicitly the force between two point charges. To establish a similar relationship, you can use the integral form for a continuous charge distribution and calculate the field strength at a given point.

In the case of moving charges, we are in presence of a current, which generates magnetic effects that in turn exert force on moving charges, therefore, no longer can consider only the electrostatic force.
