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.

What is elasticity in polymer generally related to?
Andrej [43]
The elasticity of a polymer is primarily due to the structure of the molecule and the cross-linking between strands. Hydrogen bonding is a contributor to the shape of the molecule, but not a major player in terms of elasticity. We would have to answer "false".

1. explain why mid-sized cars and SUVs have different rollover fatality rates.
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

1.  They generally have poorer fuel efficiency and require more resources to manufacture than smaller vehicles, thus contributing more to climate change and environmental degradation. Their higher center of gravity increases their risk of rollovers.

2. Mid-sized cars and SUVs both have a fixed object fatality rate of 2.6/BVM. This is most likely because they have a similar mass and inertia. The force of the crash is likely to have about the same deceleration in both vehicles.
