There's a very subtle thing going on here, one that could blow your mind.
Wherever we look in the universe, no matter what direction we look,
we see the light from distant galaxies arriving at our telescopes with
longer wavelengths than the light SHOULD have.
The only way we know of right now that can cause light waves to get
longer after they leave the source is motion of the source away from
the observer. The lengthening of the waves on account of that motion
is called the Doppler effect. (The answer to the question is choice-c.)
But that may not be the only way that light waves can get stretched. It's
the only way we know of so far, and so we say that the distant galaxies
are all moving away from us.
From that, we say the whole universe is expanding, and that right there is
one of the strongest observations that we explain with the Big Bang theory
of creation.
Now: If ... say tomorrow ... a competent Physicist discovers another way
for light waves to get stretched after they leave the source, then the whole
"expanding universe" idea is out the window, and probably the Big Bang
theory along with it !
Now that our mind has been blown, come back down to Earth with me,
and I'll give you something else to think about:
It's true that when we look at distant galaxies, we do see their light
arriving in our telescopes with longer wavelengths than it should have.
And then we use the Doppler effect to calculate how fast that galaxy
is moving away from us. That's all true. Astronomers are doing it
every day. I mean every night.
So here's the question for you to think about ... maybe even READ about:
When the light from a distant galaxy pours into our telescope, and we
look at it, and we measure its wavelength, and we find that the wavelength
is longer than it should be ... how do we know what it should be ? ? ?
Speed v = initial speed u + acceleration a x time t
v=u+at = 2 + 4*3 = 14 m/s
Answer:
The energy that the truck lose to air resistance per hour is 87.47MJ
Explanation:
To solve this exercise it is necessary to compile the concepts of kinetic energy because of the drag force given in aerodynamic bodies. According to the theory we know that the drag force is defined by
Our values are:
Replacing,
We need calculate now the energy lost through a time T, then,
But we know that d is equal to
Where
v is the velocity and t the time. However the time is given in seconds but for this problem we need the time in hours, so,
(per hour)
Therefore the energy that the truck lose to air resistance per hour is 87.47MJ
Given:
Therefore, the acceleration is,

Explain Acceleration?</h3>
An object's rate of changing its velocity is known as its acceleration, which is a vector quantity. If an object's velocity is changing, it is accelerating. When anything moves faster or slower in a straight line, it is said to have been accelerated. Even if the speed is constant, motion on a circle accelerates because the direction is always shifting.
