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.

The process that produces the energy radiated by stars is nuclear fusion in the core.
For a star on the main sequence, it's the fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium.

Using 6400 km as the radius of Earth, calculate how high above Earth’s surface you would have to be in order to weigh 1/16th of
FrozenT [24]
Gravity obeys the inverse square law.  At 6400 km above the center of the Earth (Earth's surface) you weigh x.  Twice that reduces your weight to 1/4th.  Four times that height reduces your weight to 1/16th.  4 times 6400 km is 25,600 km.  But that is above the center of the earth, and the question requests the height above the surface, so we deduct 6400 km to arrive at our final answer:  19,200 km.

Incidentally, it doesn't exactly work the opposite way.  At the center of the Earth the mass would be equally distributed around you, and you would therefore be weightless.

Wavelength is measured in hertz true or false?
g100num [7]
Wavelength is measured in various units of distance (mm, cm, m, etc.). Frequency uses hertz, but that is not what the question is asking. Therefore, the answer is false.

PLEASE HELP-I LITERALLY NEED THIS RIGHT NOW!!! I'LL GIVE BRAINLIEST AND 5 STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
valkas [14]

Answer: oceanic crust moved over the hot spot, each recently formed volcano was carried away from the hot spot toward the northwest, cutting off its source of lava. Meanwhile, a new island was forming so that over time a chain of islands was produced extending away from the hot spot.ANSWER HERE: This mean that volcanos are producing these new islands and it is creating a chain of different islands all over Hawaii.
