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.

Salmon often jump waterfalls to reach their breeding grounds. Starting downstream, 3.18 m away from a waterfall 0.294 m in heigh

Karolina [17]

Answer:

v = 7.65 m/s

t = 0.5882 s

Explanation:

We are told that the salmon started downstream, 3.18 m away from a waterfall.

Thus, range = 3.18 m

Since the horizontal velocity component is constant, then;

Range = vcosθ × t

Thus,

vcosθ × t = 3.18 - - - (eq 1)

We are told the salmon reached a height of 0.294 m

Thus, using distance equation;

s = v_y•t + ½gt²

g will be negative since motion is against gravity.

s = v_y•t - ½gt²

Thus;

0.294 = v_y•t - ½gt²

v_y = vsinθ

Thus;

0.294 = vtsinθ - ½gt² - - - (eq 2)

From eq(1), making v the subject, we have;

v = 3.18/tcosθ

Plugging into eq 2,we have;

0.294 = (3.18/tcosθ)tsinθ - ½gt²

0.295 = 3.18tanθ - ½gt²

We are given g = 9.81 m/s² and θ = 45°

0.295 = (3.18 × tan 45) - ½(9.81) × t²

0.295 = 3.18 - 4.905t²

3.18 - 0.295 = 4.905t²

4.905t² = 2.885

t = √2.885/4.905

t = 0.5882 s

Thus;

v = 3.18/(0.5882 × cos45)

v = 7.65 m/s

How do you calculate the gravitational force on a rubber ball which has a mass of 50g

AfilCa [17]

P (gravitational force) = m (mass) x g
<=> P = 0.05 x 10
<=> P = 0.5N

Who is your favorite fictional character and why? Who is your favorite non-fictional person and why?

Andru [333]

My favorite fictional character is definitely Eren from Attack on Titan because he is strong, caring, and protects the people he loves

My least favorite is Bakugo from My Hero Academia because he is toxic, lowdown, and has severe anger issues.

An electric turntable 0.730 mm in diameter is rotating about a fixed axis with an initial angular velocity of 0.240 rev/srev/s a

Zolol [24]

Answer:

a) $\omega = 0.421\,\frac{rev}{s}$ , b) $\Delta \theta = 0.066\,rev$ , c) $v = 0.966\,\frac{mm}{s}$ , d) $a = 3.293\,\frac{mm}{s^{2}}$

Explanation:

a) The angular velocity of the turntable after $0.200\,s$ .

$\omega = \omega_{o} + \alpha\cdot \Delta t$

$\omega = 0.240\,\frac{rev}{s} + (0.906\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}} )\cdot (0.2\,s)$

$\omega = 0.421\,\frac{rev}{s}$

b) The change in angular position is:

$\Delta \theta = \omega_{o}\cdot t + \frac{1}{2} \cdot \alpha \cdot t^{2}$

$\Delta \theta = (0.240\,\frac{rev}{s} )\cdot (0.2\,s) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot (0.906\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}} )\cdot (0.2\,s)^{2}$

$\Delta \theta = 0.066\,rev$

c) The tangential speed of a point on the rim of the turn-table:

$v = r\cdot \omega$

$v = (0.365\times 10^{-3}\,m)\cdot (0.421\,\frac{rev}{s} )\cdot (\frac{2\pi\,rad}{1\,rev} )$

$v = 9.655\times 10^{-4}\,\frac{m}{s}$

$v = 0.966\,\frac{mm}{s}$

d) The tangential and normal components of the acceleration of the turn-table:

$a_{t} = (0.365\times 10^{-3}\,m)\cdot (0.906\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}})\cdot (\frac{2\pi\,rad}{1\,rev} )$

$a_{t} = 2.078\times 10^{-3}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

$a_{t} = 2.078\,\frac{mm}{s}$

$a_{n} = (0.365\times 10^{-3}\,m)\cdot \left[(0.421\,\frac{rev}{s} )\cdot (\frac{2\pi\,rad}{1\,rev} )\right]^{2}$

$a_{n} = 2.554\times 10^{-3}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

$a_{n} = 2.554\,\frac{mm}{s^{2}}$

The magnitude of the resultant acceleration is:

$a = \sqrt{(2.078\,\frac{mm}{s} )^{2}+(2.554\,\frac{mm}{s} )^{2}}$

$a = 3.293\,\frac{mm}{s^{2}}$

Which statements below are true?

Ilya [14]

The correct statements are that the speed decreases as the distance decreases and speed increases as the distance increases for the same time.

Answer:

Option A and Option B.

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the ratio of distance covered to the time taken to cover that distance. So Speed = Distance/Time. In other words, we can also state that speed is directly proportional to the distance for a constant time. Thus, the speed will be decreasing as there is decrease in distance for the same time. As well as there will be increase in speed as the distance increases for the same time. So option A and option B are the true options. So if there is decrease in the distance due to direct proportionality the speed will also be decreasing. Similarly, if the distance increases, the speed will also be increasing.
