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

Physics

Damm [24]3 years ago
4 0

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.

Technician A says that the battery must be in good condition and at least 75% charged to accurately test an alternator. Technici
aalyn [17]

Answer:Technician A

Explanation:

Technician A statement is correct as  

The battery is required to start the vehicle which, in effect, rotates the alternator at sufficient speed to keep the battery charged. This means if the battery is low it is not possible to start the vehicle and thus we are unable to test the alternator.  

That is the battery is pre-requisite to test the alternator. So the battery must be at least a 75 % charge to test the alternator.

Which of these experiments tests a chemical property of an object??
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
<span>B. shining a bright light on the objects and testing for decomposition </span> <span>      

In explanation, chemical property is a characteristic of a certain substance came from an outcome due to chemical change or reaction. In the situation above, more specifically toxicity is involved in the chemical property/change. Hence, when the object is tested for decomposition. Like for an example of decomposition simply in metals, rusting. Rusting a process of degeneration of metals. Here it works the same. Toxicity is how much damage did a certain entity do to the object. </span>

Predict using Boyle's law, what will happen to a balloon that an ocean diver takes to a pressure of 202 kPa.
kobusy [5.1K]

The volume of the balloon will halve

Explanation:

Boyle's law states that for an ideal gas kept at constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is proportional to its volume. Mathematically,

pV=const.

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the volume

The equation can also be rewritten as

p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2

And if we apply it to the gas inside the balloon in this problem (assuming its temperature is constant), we have:

p_1 = 101 kPa is the initial pressure at sea level (the atmospheric pressure)

V_1 is the initial volume

p_2 = 202 kPa is the final pressure

V_2 is the final volume

Substituting into the equation, we find:

V_2 = \frac{p_1 V_1}{p_2}=\frac{(101)V_1}{202}=\frac{V_1}{2}

Which means that the volume of the balloon will halve.
