Answer:

SI Units

Meter

Kilogram

Kelvin

US Customary Units and English Units

Gallon

Mile

Pound

Degrees Fahrenheit

Explanation:

The SI units or International System of Units are the widely used metrics of measuring a physical quantity. It has specific abbreviations.

The US customary units is a measurement system where it is widely used in the united states. This system of unit also has abbreviations.

There are also conversion scales that are used to convert a unit from one metric system to the other.

For example, the conversion of mile to SI unit is given by the formula

1 mile = 1609.4 meters

Similarly,

1 pound = 0.453592 Kg

Find the speed for a star in which this line appears at wavelength 120.2 nm . Express your answer to three significant figures a

levacccp [35]

Answer:

The speed of the star is $-3.45x10^{6}m/s$

Explanation:

Spectral lines will be shifted to the blue part of the spectrum if the source of the observed light is moving toward the observer, or to the red part of the spectrum when it is moving away from the observer (that is known as the Doppler effect).

$Redshift: \lambda_{measured} > \lambda_{0}$

$Blueshift: \lambda_{measured} < \lambda_{0}$

The wavelength at rest is 121.6 nm ( $\lambda_{0} = 121.6nm$ )

Due to that shift the velocity of the star can be determined by means of Doppler velocity.

$v = c\frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda_{0}}$ (1)

Where $\Delta \lambda$ is the wavelength shift, $\lambda_{0}$ is the wavelength at rest, v is the velocity of the source and c is the speed of light.

$v = c(\frac{\lambda_{measured}- \lambda_{0}}{\lambda_{0}})$

In this case $\lambda_{measured}$ is equal to 120.2 nm.

$v = (3x10^8m/s)(\frac{120.2 nm - 121.6 nm}{121.6 nm)})$

$v = -3.45x10^{6}m/s$

Hence, the speed of the star is $-3.45x10^{6}m/s$ .

Notice that the negative velocity means that the star is moving toward the observer.

Cylinder A has a mass of 2kg and cylinder B has a mass of 10kg. Determinethe velocity of A after it has displaced 2m from its or

Marta_Voda [28]

The velocity of A is 5.16m/s²

Explanation:

Given-

mass of cylinder A, mₐ = 2kg

mass of cylinder B, mb = 10kg

Distance, s = 2m

Velocity of A, v = ?

Let acceleration due to gravity, g = 10m/s²

We know,

$a = \frac{mb * g - ma * g}{ma + mb} \\\\a = \frac{10 * 10 - 2 * 10}{ 2 + 10} \\\\a = \frac{80}{12} \\\\a = 6.67m/s^2$

We know,

$v = \sqrt{2as}$

$v = \sqrt{2 X 6.67 X 2} \\\\v = \sqrt{26.68} \\\\v = 5.16m/s^2$

Therefore, the velocity of A is 5.16m/s²
