Answer: C. Expanding

Explanation:

When an object moves away from an observer, the light waves emitted by the object are stretched out making them have move towards the red end of the electromagnetic spectrum, where light has a longer wavelength. This phenomenon is known as the redshift (cosmological redshift). For most astronomical objects, the observed spectral lines are all shifted to longer wavelengths. It is caused solely by the expansion of the Universe and thus, the value of a redshift indicates the recession velocity of the expanding object, or its distance.

Redshift is opposed to the blueshift. Blue light wavelengths tend to be closer together hence blueshift light tends to be emitted from objects that are collapsing.

A rock is projected from the edge of the top of a building with an initial velocity of 12.2 m/s at an angle of 73° above the hor
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

7 s

Explanation:

u = Initial velocity of rock = 12.2 m/s

\theta = Angle of throw = 73^{\circ}

x = Displacement in x direction = 25 m

Displacement in x direction is given by

x=u\cos\theta t\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{x}{u\cos\theta}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{25}{12.2\times \cos73^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow t=7\ \text{s}

Time taken to reach the ground is 7 s.

Suppose that an object travels from one point in space to another. Make a comparison between the magnitude of the displacement a
Rashid [163]

Answer:

- Distance is a scalar quantity, defined as the total amount of space covered by an object while moving between the final position and the initial position. Therefore, it depends on the path the object has taken: the distance will be minimum if the object has travelled in a straight line, while it will be larger if the object has taken a non-straight path.

- Displacement is a vector quantity, whose magnitude is equal to the distance (measured in a straight line) between the final position and the initial position of the object. Therefore, the displacement does NOT depend on the path taken, but only on the initial and final point of the motion.

If the object has travelled in a straight path, then the displacement is equal to the distance. In all other cases, the distance is always larger than the displacement.

A particular case is when an object travel in a circular motion. Assuming the object completes one full circle, we have:

- The distance is the circumference of the circle

- The displacement is zero, because the final point corresponds to the initial point

What is the radius of the event horizon of a 10 solar mass black hole?
deff fn [24]

Answer:

The number take for the "radius" is normally taken to be the radius from the center to the event horizon, since nothing inside that can be observed, and since it is a point of no return. This radius is directly proportional to the mass of the black hole. From the Wikipedia article on event horizon: "For the mass of the Sun this radius is approximately 3 kilometers and for the Earth it is about 9 millimeters. In practice, however, neither the Earth nor the Sun has the necessary mass and therefore the necessary gravitational force, to overcome electron and neutron degeneracy pressure." The last sentence means that it is unlikely for the Sun to become a black hole, since it has too little mass to become one.
