A star has a spectrum shift exhibiting a red shift. What can you conclude about the distance from earth to that star

2 answers:

Red shift in the spectrum of a star is always taken to mean that the source of the light is moving away from us.

That's the whole basis for the notion of the expanding universe, since we don't know of any other mechanism that can shift light toward longer wavelengths.

Its going away cuz red shift goes away (somehow i think of hell so think that u wanna go away from it)

What is the magnification of an astronomical telescope whose objective lens has a focal length of 74 cm and whose eyepiece has a

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The magnification of an astronomical telescope is -30.83.

Explanation:

The expression for the magnification of an astronomical telescope is as follows;

$M=-\frac{f_o}{f_e}$

Here, M is the magnification of an astronomical telescope, $f_e$ is the focal length of the eyepiece lens and $f_o$ is the focal length of the objective lens.

It is given in the problem that an astronomical telescope having a focal length of objective lens 74 cm and whose eyepiece has a focal length of 2.4 cm.

Put $f_o=74 cm$ and $f_e=2.4 cm$ in the above expression.

$M=-\frac{74}{2.4}$

M=-30.83

Therefore, the magnification of an astronomical telescope is -30.83.

The energy photon affects which property of light

Triss [41]

Answer:

photoelectric effect

Explanation:

When the energy from photons is absorbed by matter, the matter can emit electrons. This process is called the photoelectric effect. The photoelectric effect is a property of light that is not explained by the theory that light is a wave.

A cyclist is moving at a speed of 15 m/s. If the combined mass of the bike and person is 100 kg,

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum is equal to mass times velocity in kg and m/s, respectively. Therefore,

p = 100(15) so

p = 1500 $\frac{kg*m}{s}$

How much energy will a stock tank heater rated at 1790 Watts use in a 24 hour period? 1. 1790 × 24 × 3600 Joules 2. 1790 × 24 ×

Rashid [163]

<h2>Option 1 is the correct answer.</h2>

Explanation:

Power of heater, P = 1790 W

Time used, t = 24 hours = 24 x 60 x 60 = 24 x 3600 s

We have the equation

$\texttt{Power}=\frac{\texttt{Energy}}{\texttt{Time}}$

We need to find energy,

Substituting

$\texttt{Power}=\frac{\texttt{Energy}}{\texttt{Time}}\\\\1790=\frac{\texttt{Energy}}{24\times 3600}$

Energy = 1790 x 24 x 3600 J

Option 1 is the correct answer.
