How can astrophysicists tell whether a star is receding from or approaching earth?

Physics

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.

"Asteroid" is the name we give to the huge number of small bodies
that orbit the sun, here in the inner solar system.

Their orbits are scattered all over the place.  Most of them spend
most of the time between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, but there are
many asteroids that sometimes come very close to Earth.

The colors you see during a sunset are caused by _____. the refraction of light by the atmosphere the absorption of light by the
love history [14]

Answer: the refraction of light by the atmosphere

Explanation: Refraction is the phenomenon in which there is a change in direction of light passing from one medium to another or from a gradual change in the medium.

Here in case of sunset, the sun rays passes through the varying density of atmosphere because of varying concentrations of dust particles.

Reflection is the phenomenon in which the light bounces back after falling on a surface.

Absorption is the phenomenon in which matter captures the electromagnetic radiations and thus the energy of photons is converted to internal energy of the system.

The force that binds atoms together to form molecules is
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The electromagnetic force

Explanation:

There are four fundamental forces in nature:

- Gravitational force: it is the force that acts between any particles having mass. It is relevant only on very large scales (planets, stars), since it is the weakest of the 4 forces, so very large masses are needed in order to produce relevant effects.

- Electromagnetic force: it is the force that acts between particles with electric charge. It can be attractive or repulsive. It is the main force that acts between atoms and molecules.

- Strong nuclear force: it is the force that keeps the protons and the neutrons together inside the nucleus. It acts only on very short scales (only within the nucleus of the atom)

- Weak nuclear force: it is the force responsible for the radioactive decays of certain nuclei. It also acts on very short scales.

Therefore, the force that is responsible for binding atoms together to form molecules is the electromagnetic force.

The intensity of the electric field is 30,000 N/C

Explanation:

The strength of the electric field produced by a single-point charge is given by the equation

E=k\frac{q}{r^2}

where:

k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant

q is the magnitude of the charge

r is the distance from the charge

In this problem, we have:

q=3\cdot 10^{-9}C is the magnitude of the charge

r = 3 cm = 0.03 m is the distance at which we are calculating the field intensity

Substituting, we find:

E=(8.99\cdot 10^9)\frac{3\cdot 10^{-9}}{(0.03)^2}=30,000 N/C
