I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the last option. The conclusion about the star would be that it is moving away from  Earth. L<span>engthening of the waves means that wavelength getting larger </span>this occurs when a body giving off light is moving away. Hope this answers the question.

Answer:

It is moving away from Earth.

Explanation:

The electromagnetic waves given off by a star is bring observed by an astronomer. The waves seem to be lengthening. This means the apparent wavelength of the waves is increasing. It can be explained from Doppler's effect. Doppler's effect states that there is change in apparent wavelength of light when there is relative motion between the source and the observer.

The apparent wavelength decreases when the source and observer approach each other while it increases when they are moving apart.

In the given situation, since the apparent wavelength is increasing, it means the star is moving away from the Earth and we are observing a red shift.

A 10 kg turkey, He kicks the 0.5 kg ball with a force of 50N for 0.2 seconds and the ball flies straight away horizontally from
Harman [31]

Answer:

a. 20m/s

b.50N

c. Turkey has a larger mass than the ball. Neglible final acceleration and therefore remains stationery.

Explanation:

a. Given the force as 50N, times as 0.2seconds and the weight of the ball as 0.5 kg, it's final velocity can be calculated as:

F\bigtriangleup t=m\bigtriangleup v\\\\50N\times 0.2s=0.5kg\times \bigtriangleup v\\\\\bigtriangleup v=2(50N\times0.2)\\\\=20m/s

Hence, the velocity of the ball after the kick is 20m/s

b.The force felt by the turkey:

#Applying Newton's 3rd Law of motion, opposite and equal reaction:

-The turkey felt a force of 50N but in the opposite direction to the same force felt by the ball.

c. Using the law of momentum conservation:

-Due to ther external forces exerted on the turkey, it remains stationery.

-The turkey has a larger mass than the ball. It will therefore have a negligible acceleration if any and thus remains stationery.

-Momentum is not conserved due to these external forces.

How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of 8g of water by 15oC?
Murrr4er [49]
<h2>Answer: 502.08 J</h2>

Explanation:

The heat (thermal energy) needed in to raise the temperature in a process can be found using the following equation:

Q=m.C.\Delta T   (1)

Where:

Q is the heat

m=8 g is the mass of the element (<u>water</u> in this case)

C is the specific heat capacity of the material. In the case of water is C=4.184\frac{J}{g\°C}

\Delta T=15\°C is the variation in temperature  <u>(which is increased in this case)</u>

Knowing this, let's rewrite (1) with these values:

Q=(8 g)(4.184\frac{J}{g\°C})(15\°C)  (2)

Finally:

Q=502.08 J

Suppose an empty grocery cart rolls downhill in a parking lot. The cart has a maximum speed of 1.3 m/s when it hits the side of
Ket [755]

The cart comes to rest from 1.3 m/s in a matter of 0.30 s, so it undergoes an acceleration <em>a</em> of

<em>a</em> = (0 - 1.3 m/s) / (0.30 s)

<em>a</em> ≈ -4.33 m/s²

This acceleration is applied by a force of -65 N, i.e. a force of 65 N that opposes the cart's motion downhill. So the cart has a mass <em>m</em> such that

-65 N = <em>m</em> (-4.33 m/s²)

<em>m</em> = 15 kg

24 grams of magnesium metal reacts with 16 grams of oxygen gas to form magnesium oxide. according to the law of conservation of
wariber [46]

The mass of magnesium oxide must be 40 grams

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that the total mass of the reactant in a chemical reaction must be equal to the total mass of the products after the reaction has completed.

In this problem, we have:

Reactants:

Magnesium metal (mass: 24 grams)

Oxygen gas (mass: 16 grams)

Products:

Magnesium oxide (mass: ?)

According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the magnesium oxide must be equal to the sum of the mass of the magnesium metal and the oxygen gass. Therefore:

Mass (magnesium oxide) = 24 g + 16 g = 40 g
