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.

4. A car accelerates, from rest, at 2.4 m/s?. How fast is the car traveling
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

19.2m/s

Explanation:

Assuming that 2.4m/s^2 was the acceleration and not a typo, we can use the equation v=at, where v=velocity, a=acceleration, and t=time,

plug in known varibles,

v=2.4*8

v=19.2m/s

Why is evolution called a scientific theory?
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Evolution is both a fact and a theory. Evolution is widely observable in laboratory and natural populations as they change over time. The fact that we need annual flu vaccines is one example of observable evolution. At the same time, evolutionary theory explains more than observations, as the succession on the fossil record. Hence, evolution is also the scientific theory that embodies biology, including all organisms and their characteristics. In this paper, we emphasize why evolution is the most important theory in biology. Evolution explains every biological detail, similar to how history explains many aspects of a current political situation. Only evolution explains the patterns observed in the fossil record. Examples include the succession in the fossil record; we cannot find the easily fossilized mammals before 300 million years ago; after the extinction of the dinosaurs, the fossil record indicates that mammals and birds radiated throughout the planet. Additionally, the fact that we are able to construct fairly consistent phylogenetic trees using distinct genetic markers in the genome is only explained by evolutionary theory. Finally, we show that the processes that drive evolution, both on short and long time scales, are observable facts.
