Answer:

The speed of the ball relative to the ground if the ball is thrown forward is 58.1 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the ball thrown inside boxcar, V_B = 23.2 m/s

speed of the boxcar moving along the tracks, V_T = 34.9 m/s

Determine the speed of the ball relative to the ground if the ball is thrown forward.

If the ball is thrown forward, the speed of the ball relative to the ground will be sum of the ball's speed plus speed of the boxcar.

V_{relative \ speed} = V_B + V_T\\\\V_{relative \ speed} = 23.2 + 34.9\\\\V_{relative \ speed} = 58.1 \ m/s

Therefore,  the speed of the ball relative to the ground if the ball is thrown forward is 58.1 m/s.

distant galaxy emits light that has a wavelength of 434.1 nm. On earth, the wavelength of this light is measured to be 438.6 nm.
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The speed of the galaxy relative to the Earth is 3.09\times 10^6\ m/s.

Explanation:

We have,

(a) Wavelength emitted by light at distant galaxy is 434.1 nm. On earth, the wavelength of this light is measured to be 438.6 nm. It can be seen that the wavelength of light reduces as it reaches Earth. It is called Red shift. As per Doppler's effect, we can say that the galaxy is receding from the Earth.

(b) Let v is the speed of the galaxy relative to the Earth. It can be given by :

v=c(\dfrac{\lambda'}{\lambda}-1)\\\\v=3\times 10^8\times (\dfrac{438.6 }{434.1 }-1)\\\\v=3\times 10^8\times (\dfrac{438.6}{434.1}-1)\\\\v=0.0103\cdot3\cdot10^{8}\\\\v=3.09\times 10^6\ m/s

So, the speed of the galaxy relative to the Earth is 3.09\times 10^6\ m/s.

Which sequence correctly reflects the order in which electrical charges occur during an action potential, from first to last?
Lady_Fox [76]
This sequence refer to how neurons send messages electrochemically. When the neurons are at rest, they are at its resting potential at -70 millivolts. If the neurons in the brain send messages, a spike would occur until it reaches the threshold potential at -55 mV. If it reaches the threshold potential, then an action potential occurs.Hence, the sequence would be letter C.

A sled is accelerating down a hill at a rate of 1 m s2 . If the mass of the sled is suddenly cut in half and the net force on th
mihalych1998 [28]
We have that F=ma from the 2nd Newton law where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration. Suppose we have that F' is the new force and m' is the new mass. Then, we have that a'=F'/m' still, by rearranging Newton's law. We are given that F'=2F and m'=m/2. Hence,
a'= \frac{2F}{ \frac{m}{2} } = \frac{4F}{m} = 4\frac{F}{m}
But now, we have from F=ma, that a=F/m and we are given that a=1m/s^2.
We can substitute thus, a'=4a=4*1m/s^2=4m/s^2.

The equation for gear ratio
Ymorist [56]
In a gear train with two gears, the gear ratio is defined as follows
R= \frac{\omega _A}{\omega _B} 

where \omega _A is the angular velocity of the input gear while \omega _B is the angular velocity of the output gear. 

This can be rewritten as a function of the number of teeth of the gears. In fact, the angular velocity of a gear is inversely proportional to the radius r of the gear:
\omega = \frac{v}{r}
But the radius is proportional to the number of teeth N of the gear. Therefore we can rewrite the gear ratio also as
R= \frac{\omega _A}{\omega _B} = \frac{r_B}{r_A} = \frac{N_B}{N_A}

What are the characteristics of a nebulae? (Select all that apply.)
erica [24]

Answer:

B. contain hydrogen

C. clouds of gas and dust

E. needed to create a star

Explanation:

A star is a giant astronomical or celestial object that is comprised of a luminous sphere of plasma, binded together by its own gravitational force.

Some of the examples of stars are; Vega, Sun (closest to planet Earth), Antares, Betelgeus, Canopus, etc.

Stars are typically made up of two (2) main hot gas, Hydrogen (H) and Helium (He). The chronological order in which the formation of a star occur are;

1. Gravity pulls gas and dust together to form dense cores.

2. A protostar forms as mass increases.

3. Nuclear fusion begins under high pressure.

Scientists have been able to understand and discover that, gravity pulled materials (low-density cloud of interstellar gas and dust known as a nebula) together forming the planetary bodies in our solar system.

A dark nebula can be defined as an interstellar cloud that is so dense as a result of high concentration of gas and dust and as such it obscures the visible wavelengths of light from stars behind it, thus appearing completely opaque (dark patch) in front of a bright emission nebula or in regions having plenty stars.

The characteristics of a nebulae are;

I. It contain hydrogen.

II. Clouds of gas and dust

III. It is needed to create a star.
