A scientist is studying the light emitted by several celestial objects. He records the shifts in each object’s spectral lines (i

n nm). Based on these measurements, determine whether each object is moving toward or away from Earth. Use the diagram of the visible light spectrum to help you. 400 nm shifted to 430 nm 610 nm shifted to 580 nm 512 nm shifted to 480 nm 670 nm shifted to 690 nm

-- 400 nm shifted to 430 nm . . . longer than it should be; "red shifted"; moving away from Earth  

-- 610 nm shifted to 580 nm . . . shorter than at source; "blue shifted"; moving toward Earth

-- 512 nm shifted to 480 nm . . . shorter than at source; moving toward Earth

-- 670 nm shifted to 690 nm . . .longer than at source; moving away from Earth

Now I'd just like to ask one more itty bitty question, that you can think about while you're on this subject:  Astronomers really do this.  They measure how much the wavelength CHANGED, from the time it left the original source until the time they detect it. But HOW do they know what the wavelength WAS when it left the source ? ? ?

THIS is the part that blows my mind !

What happens to the frequency and pitch of sound if the object making the sound moves away from you ?
Olin [163]

If you and the source of sound are moving apart, then the pitch (frequency) <em>you hear</em> is <em>lower</em> than the pitch (frequency) that's actually leaving the source.  

It doesn't matter whether you or the source is the one moving, only that the distance between you is increasing.

An object located near the surface of Earth has a weight of a 245 N
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

The mass of the object is 24.5 kg and weight of the object on Mars is 91.14 N.

Explanation:

Weight of the object on the surface of Earth, W = 245 N

On the surface of Earth, acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s²

Weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

m is mass

m=\dfrac{W}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{245\ N}{10\ m/s^2}\\\\=24.5\ kg

So, the mass of the object is 24.5 kg

Acceleration due to gravity on Mars, g' = 3.72 m/s²

Weight of the object on Mars,

W' =mg'

W' = 24.5 kg × 3.72 m/s²

= 91.14 N

So, the weight of the object on Mars is 91.14 N.

The fatty layer contains many nerves and blood vessels. True or False
mylen [45]

Answer:

False , The fatty layer do not contains many nerves and blood vessels. The fatty layer is related to skin layers.

Explanation:

The fatty layer is the most under a layer of skin. It made up of a system of collagen and fat cells. It helps maintain the body's temperature and shields the body from harm by serving as a shock absorber.

The dermis is the central layer of the skin. The dermis is maintained collectively by a protein termed collagen. This layer gives skin elasticity and power. The dermis also holds shock and feel receptors.

Carrie is driving a car. Which factors determine the kinetic energy of her car<br> at this point
Valentin [98]

Answer:

The two main factors that affect kinetic energy are mass and speed.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy that is caused by the motion. The kinetic energy of an object is the energy or force that the object has due to its motion. Your moving vehicle has kinetic energy; as you increase your vehicle's speed, your vehicle's kinetic energy increases.

Have a great day! :D
