Answer:

The light from an object which is coming towards us will be blue shifted.

Explanation:

According to the Doppler effect the movement of the source towards the observer will lead to increase in thew apparent frequency by the Doppler formula,

$f'=\frac{c+v_{o} }{c-v_{s} }f$

Now when the there is increase in frequency then the wavelength is decrease because it is inversely related to frequency.

The wavelength of blue shift is lies in the range of 450-490 nm and the wavelength of red shift lies in the region of 635-700 nm.

Therefore, decrease in the wavelength will lead to blue shift.

Answer:

Refraction

Explanation:

When light passes from a rarer medium into a denser medium, it bends in the medium away from the normal. This creates the phenomenon of "apparent depth" as given in the question.

How to solve for the coefficient of friction

astraxan [27]

Their are two coefficients of friction, static and kinetic, regardless, they have basically the same formula:

u*N = F... aka
coefficient of friction*normal force = force of friction

Hope that helps!

Suppose a NASCAR race car rounds one end of the Martinsville Speedway. This end of the track is a turn with a radius of approxim

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

10.53m/s²

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration of an object about a circle. The formula for calculating centripetal acceleration is expressed by:

$a = \frac{v^2}{r}$

v is the velocity of the car = 24.5m/s

r is the radius of the track = 57.0m

Substitute the given values into the formula:

$a = \frac{24.5^2}{57} \\\\a = \frac{600.25}{57}\\ \\a = 10.53m/s^{2}$

Hence the centripetal acceleration of the race car is 10.53m/s²
