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.

why does diving 30m below sea level affect our bodies more than being in a building 30m above sea level
Genrish500 [490]
Imagine you are in a swimming pool 30m deep. Assuming you know that water is denser than air, you would know that the 30m of water above you will carry more weight, and press down on your body. Say you were in a swimming pool 60m deep, you would be sandwiched between 30m of water pressing down on you, and the upthrust created by the 30m of water below you.

In a building 30m up, the pressure will be regulated, as you are in a building. The floor will be strong enough to support the weight of the body, and the body will not recoil into itself.

Answer:

1: surface temperature

2: red giant

3: The brightest stars are called supergiants. Star clusters are rich in stars just off the main sequence called red giants. Main sequence stars are called dwarfs.

4: A white dwarf is very dense

The density of mobile electrons in copper metal is 8.4 × 1028 m-3. Suppose that i= 4.4 × 1018 electrons/s are drifting through a
neonofarm [45]

Answer: 405.3 minutes

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use the following:

Fisrtly we calculate the volume of the wire, this is given by:

Vwire=π*r^2*L where r and L are the radius and L the length of teh wire, respectively.

Vwire=π*1.25*10^-3*0.26=1.27*10^-6 m^3

then the number of the total electrons in tthe wire volume is given by;

n° electrons in the wire=ρ*Vwire=8.4*10^28*1.27*10^-6 m^3=1.07 *10^23

Finally, considering the current in the wire equal to 4.4*10^18 electrons/s

the time consuming to extract all the electrons from the wire is given by:

t= total electrons in the wire/ current=1.067*10^23/4.4*10^18=24,318 s

equivalent to 405.3 minutes

Say I have a series circuit with 20v and four 65 ohm resistors, what is the current in each resistor?
Komok [63]
Data:

E = 20 V
R_{1} = 65\Omega
R_{2} = 65\Omega
R_{3} = 65\Omega
R_{4} = 65\Omega

<span>Now that we have all the values ​​we need properly identified, simply calculate the equivalent total resistance of the circuit and the intensity of the total electric current using the Ohm's Law:

</span>R_{T} =  R_{1} + R_{2} + R_{3} + R_{4}
R_{T} = 65 + 65 + 65+ 65
R_{T} = 260\Omega

<span>Like this:
</span>
I_{T} =  \frac{E}{ R_{T} }

I_{T} = \frac{20}{ 260 }
I_{T} = 0,076923076...

\boxed{\boxed{I_{T} \approx 0,07A}} 
Answer:
<span>The intensity of the total electric current 
</span>\boxed{\boxed{I_{T} \approx 0,07A}} 

P.S:. Since the association is in series, the current of 0.07A is the same for all resistors.
