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.

why does diving 30m below sea level affect our bodies more than being in a building 30m above sea level
Genrish500 [490]
Imagine you are in a swimming pool 30m deep. Assuming you know that water is denser than air, you would know that the 30m of water above you will carry more weight, and press down on your body. Say you were in a swimming pool 60m deep, you would be sandwiched between 30m of water pressing down on you, and the upthrust created by the 30m of water below you.

In a building 30m up, the pressure will be regulated, as you are in a building. The floor will be strong enough to support the weight of the body, and the body will not recoil into itself.

IRINA_888 [86]

Explanation:

The US Supreme Court has affirmed in Miller v. Johnson (1995) that racial gerrymandering is a violation of constitutional rights and upheld decisions against redistricting that is purposely devised based on race. However, the Supreme Court has struggled as to when partisan gerrymandering occurs (Vieth v.

Calculate the distance travel if it accelerates from 0 to 27.8 meters per second in 2.5 seconds
luda_lava [24]

The distance travel is 69.5 meters.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given datas are as follows

Speed = 27.8 meters / second

Time = 2.5 seconds

The formula to calculate the speed using distance and time is

Speed = Distance ÷ Time (units)

Then Distance = Speed × Time (units)

Distance = (27.8 × 2.5) meters          

Distance = 69.50 meters

Therefore the distance travelled is 69.50 meters.
