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 !

Two long, parallel wires are attracted to each other by a force per unit length of 350 µN/m. One wire carries a current of 22.5
pishuonlain [190]

Answer

given,

force per unit length = 350 µN/m

current, I = 22.5 A

y = y = 0.420 m

\dfrac{F}{L}= \dfrac{KI_1I_2}{d}

I_2 = \dfrac{F}{L}\dfrac{d}{KI_1}

I_2 = 350\times 10^{-6}\times \dfrac{0.42}{2 \times 10^{-7}\times 22.5}

    I₂ = 32.67 A

distance where the magnetic field is zero

\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 32.67}{2\pi y_1}=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 22.5}{2\pi (0.42-y_1)}

y_1 = 0.248\ m

there the distance at which the magnetic field is zero in the two wire is at 0.248 m.

A block and tackle is used to lift an automobile engine that weighs 1800 N. The person exerts a force of 300 N to lift the engin
Sidana [21]

Answer:

1800/300 = 6ropes

Explanation:

The engine weighs 1800N and the person exerts a force of 300N, so for him to lift the engine and exerting a force of 300N all through we divide the weight of the engine by the force exerted to know how many ropes are used. Which makes it 6 thereby each rope uses 300N to lift the engine.
