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.

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Hooke's law! F(spring)=-kx

There's no tricky square law here. The spring constant doesn't change, only x (distance stretched) changes. Therefore, if distance is halved, Force will be halved.

nlexa [21]

Answer:

correct answer is Fall slide, slump, creep, flow

Explanation:

solution

we know that Movement of particle under the influence of gravity

so rock and other material move down as gravity.

first rock particle fall down because falls occur very rapidly with high slope after that they slide on the slope and after sliding they slump and it occurs when the rupture surface is curved after slump process they creep.  

after creeping, it can flow particle as it occurs slowly with the low slope with water.

so correct answer is Fall slide, slump, creep, flow
