Answer:

Doppler shift of the starlight

Explanation:

To predict the movement of a star, we compare the spectra of elements found in star (H, He Na etc.), first spectra which are obtained from star and second spectra from laboratory. If spectral lines of the spectra obtained from star, are shifting towards red end (called red shift) then star is going away from earth and if shifting is towards blue (called blue shift), then star is approaching the earth. This is Doppler's shift.

A 20-N force acts on an object with a mass of 2.0kg. what is the objects acceleration?
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

10 m/s^2

Explanation:

Equation: F = ma.

a = acceleration

m = mass

F = force

Because we are trying to find acceleration instead of force we want to rearrange the equation to solve for a which is F/m = a.

F = 20

m = 2

a = ?

a = F/m

a = 20/2

a = 10 m/s^2
