There's no such thing as "stationary in space". But if the distance
between the Earth and some stars is not changing, then (A) w<span>avelengths
measured here would match the actual wavelengths emitted from these
stars. </span><span>
</span><span>If a star is moving toward us in space, then (A) Wavelengths measured
would be shorter than the actual wavelengths emitted from that star.
</span>In order to decide what's actually happening, and how that star is moving,
the trick is: How do we know the actual wavelengths the star emitted ?
Answer:
Explanation:
Potential energy on the surface of the earth
= - GMm/ R
Potential at height h
= - GMm/ (R+h)
Potential difference
= GMm/ R - GMm/ (R+h)
= GMm ( 1/R - 1/ R+h )
= GMmh / R (R +h)
This will be the energy needed to launch an object from the surface of Earth to a height h above the surface.
Extra energy is needed to get the same object into orbit at height h
= Kinetic energy of the orbiting object at height h
= 1/2 x potential energy at height h
= 1/2 x GMm / ( R + h)
Answer:
The efficiency is 0.33, or 33%.
Explanation:
From the thermodynamics equations, we know that the formula for the efficiency of a heat engine is:

Where η is the efficiency of the engine, Q_1 is the heat energy taken from the hot source and Q_2 is the heat energy given to the cold object. So, plugging the given values in the formula, we obtain:

This means that the efficiency of the heat engine is 0.33, or 33% (The efficiency of an engine is dimensionless).
The colder the more likely it is to become a liquid
