Answer: D.) increasing in distance from the earth

Explanation:

The <u>Doppler shift</u> is related to the Doppler effect and refers to the change in a wave perceived frequency (or <u>wavelength=color</u>) when the emitter of the waves, and the observer move relative to each other.

From there, it is deduced that the farther the object is, the more redshifted it is in its spectrum. For example, <u>as a galaxy moves away from the Earth, its espectrum turns towards the red and as the galaxy moves toward the Earth, its espectrum turns towards the blue. </u>

It should be noted that this effect bears its name in honor of the Austrian physicist Christian Andreas Doppler, who in 1842 proposed the existence of this effect for the case of light in the stars.

The joule and the kilowatt-hour are both units of energy. 15 kw · h is equivalent to how many joules? answer in units of j.
choli [55]

The solution for the problem is:

1 Watt = 1 Joule per second 
1 Watt*second = 1 Joule 

a Kilowatt is 1,000 Watts 
an hour is 60 seconds times 60 minutes or 3,600 seconds 
a Kilowatt * hour is 1,000 Watts in 3,600 seconds 

15 W*h = 15,000 Watt*hour = 15,000 Watt * 3,600 seconds = 54,000,000 Watt*second 

54,000,000 Watt*second = ? Joules 
54,000,000 Joules / second = 54,000,000 Watts

The magnitude of displacements a and b are 3m and 4m, respectively, c=a+b. What is the magnitude of c if the angel between a and
AysviL [449]

Answer:

(a) 7 m

(b) 1  m

Explanation:

Given:

The magnitude of displacement  vector 'a' is 3 m

The magnitude of displacement vector 'b' is 4 m.

The vector 'c' is the vector sum of vectors 'a' and 'b'.

(a)

Now, when the angle between the vectors is 0°, it means that the vectors are in the same direction. When vectors are in the same direction, then their resultant magnitude is simply the sum of their magnitudes.

So, magnitude of 'c' when 'a' and 'b' are in same direction is given as:

|\overrightarrow c|=|\overrightarrow a|+|\overrightarrow b|\\\\|\overrightarrow c|=3 + 4 = 7\ m

Therefore, the magnitude of vector 'c' is 7 m when angle between 'a' and 'b' is 0°.

(b)

When the angle between the vectors is 180°, it means that the vectors are exactly in the opposite direction. When the vectors are in opposite direction, then their resultant magnitude is the subtraction of their magnitudes.

So, magnitude of 'c' when 'a' and 'b' are in opposite direction is:

|\overrightarrow c|=||\overrightarrow a|-|\overrightarrow b||\\\\|\overrightarrow c|=|3 - 4| = 1\ m

Therefore, the magnitude of vector 'c' is 1 m when angle between 'a' and 'b' is 180°.
