Explain how astronomers might use spectroscopy to determine the composition and temperature of a star.
Damm [24]

Everything starts from spectroscopy. Astronomers only have concentrated information at wavelengths that are emitted from the stars. What they do with this information is to obtain the frequency range of the stars and through spectroscopes they are responsible for dividing the radiation beams and determining the coincidence with the emission of those same waves, of chemical elements. From these observation techniques it is possible to obtain the composition and according to the color, obtaining characteristics such as temperature. The spectrum of stars consists of dark and bright lines called Fraunhofer lines. This spectrum is compared to the spectrum of different elements to find the composition of the stars. This is possible because the elements emit or absorb only specific wavelengths.

Two masses of size m and 4m are connected by a massless thread and are strung over a frictionless pulley of radius R and moment-
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Total kinetic energy of entire system is 3 mgl

Explanation:

Given two masses: m and 4m.

Since the pulley is frictionless and the thread is massless, the energy here is linked to the two masses.

Total kinetic energy of entire system = decrease in gravitational potential energy of the system.

Therefore, we have :

ΔKE = Δp

ΔKE = 4mgl - mgl

= 3 mgl

Total kinetic energy of entire system is 3 mgl

a skier starts from rest and skis down a 82 meter tall hill labeled h1, into a valley and staught back up another 35 meter hill(
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

She is going at 30.4 m/s at the top of the 35-meter hill.    

Explanation:

We can find the velocity of the skier by energy conservation:

E_{1} = E_{2}

On the top of the hill 1 (h₁), she has only potential energy since she starts from rest. Now, on the top of the hill 2 (h₂), she has potential energy and kinetic energy.

mgh_{1} = mgh_{2} + \frac{1}{2}mv_{2}^{2}    (1)

Where:

m: is the mass of the skier

h₁: is the height 1 = 82 m

h₂: is the height 2 = 35 m

g: is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²  

v₂: is the speed of the skier at the top of h₂ =?

Now, by solving equation (1) for v₂ we have:

v_{2}^{2} = \frac{2mg(h_{1} - h_{2})}{m}  

v_{2} = \sqrt{2g(h_{1} - h_{2})} = \sqrt{2*9.81 m/s^{2}*(82 m - 35 m)} = 30.4 m/s    

Therefore, she is going at 30.4 m/s at the top of the 35-meter hill.

I hope it helps you!

How does the Sun's gravity influence tides?
nevsk [136]

Answer: <em>Around each new moon and full moon, the sun, Earth, and moon arrange themselves more or less along a line in space. Then the pull on the tides increases, because the gravity of the sun reinforces the moon's gravity. ... This is the spring tide: the highest (and lowest) tide. Spring tides are not named for the season.</em>
