When we look at a star

Physics
1 answer:
stiv31 [10]4 years ago
4 0

I'm not really sure what specific answer they're looking for, but if it's an open-ended question, then let's think about it this way...

A light year, is the distance it takes for light to travel in a year. If an object is 50,000 light years away, then by the time the light travels to us, 50,000 years has passed. We are looking at a 50,000 year old image of that object. (ignoring gravity and spatial expansion fun stuffs)

a hiker walks 200 m west and then walks 100 m north in what direction is her resulting displacement draw to show your answer​
Sliva [168]

Answer:

The direction of the displacement is in North-West.

Explanation:

Resultant displacement D is

=\sqrt{(200)^{2} + (100)^{2} } \\=223.60m                        

Here the direction is

\Theta =tan^{^{-1}}\left ( \frac{100}{200} \right )\\\Theta =26.6^{o}

Then the direction is 26.6^{o} North-west.

The balmer series is formed by electron transitions in hydrogen that
RSB [31]

Answer:

The Balmer series refers to the spectral lines of hydrogen, associated to the emission of photons when an electron in the hydrogen atom jumps from a level n \geq 3 to the level n=2.

The wavelength associated to each spectral line of the Balmer series is given by:

\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H (\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{n^2})

where R_H is the Rydberg constant for hydrogen, and where n is the initial level of the electron that jumps to the level n = 2.

The first few spectral lines associated to this series are withing the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and their wavelengths are:

656 nm (red, corresponding to the transition 3 \rightarrow 2)

486 nm (green, 4 \rightarrow 2)

434 nm (blue, 5 \rightarrow 2)

410 nm (violet, 6 \rightarrow 2)

All the following lines lie in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum. The limit of the Balmer series, corresponding to the transition \infty \rightarrow 2, is at 364.6 nm.

How many protons are there in any te atom
Andreyy89

Answer:

52

Explanation:

Tellurium is the element of the periodic table with atomic number 52.

The atomic number of a chemical element represents the number of atoms contained in the nucleus of the atom: therefore, this means that an atom of tellurium contains exactly 52 protons in its nucleus.

Tellurium is classified as a metalloid, having properties in between metals and non-metals, and it appears with a silver color.

The of the line on a velocity vs. time graph represents acceleration.
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

~The slope of the line on a velocity vs. time graph represents acceleration.

Explanation:

~~Acceleration is equal to the ratio between the change in velocity of an object and the time taken:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}a=

Δt

Δv

On a velocity-time graph, this ratio corresponds to the slope of the line. In fact, \Delta vΔv corresponds to the increment in the y-value (the velocity), while \Delta tΔt corresponds to the increment in the x-value (the time), therefore their ratio corresponds to the definition of slope of the line.
