Explain why astronomers use the term "blueshifted" for objects moving toward us and "redshifted" for objects moving away from us

<span>Two of them are "redshift" and "blueshift", which are used to describe an object'smotion toward or away from us in space. Redshift indicates that an object is moving away from us. "Blueshift" is a term that astronomers use to describe an object that is moving toward another object or toward us.</span>

Predict using Boyle's law, what will happen to a balloon that an ocean diver takes to a pressure of 202 kPa.
kobusy [5.1K]

The volume of the balloon will halve

Explanation:

Boyle's law states that for an ideal gas kept at constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is proportional to its volume. Mathematically,

pV=const.

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the volume

The equation can also be rewritten as

p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2

And if we apply it to the gas inside the balloon in this problem (assuming its temperature is constant), we have:

p_1 = 101 kPa is the initial pressure at sea level (the atmospheric pressure)

V_1 is the initial volume

p_2 = 202 kPa is the final pressure

V_2 is the final volume

Substituting into the equation, we find:

V_2 = \frac{p_1 V_1}{p_2}=\frac{(101)V_1}{202}=\frac{V_1}{2}

Which means that the volume of the balloon will halve.

Bullets from two revolvers are fired with the same velocity. The bullet from gun #1 is twice as heavy as the bullet from gun #2.
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

Let mass of the bullet be m and velocity be v

mass of gun be M and bullet be V

now,

using conservation of momentum for gun 1

(M+m) V' = 2 mv + 3 MV

V' = 0

3 M V = - 2 mv

momentum of gun 1 =- 2 mv---------(1)

now for gun 2

(M+m) V' = mv + MV

V' = 0

M V = - mv

momentum of gun 1 = -mv-----------(2)

dividing equation (1) by (2)

\dfrac{P_m1}{P_m2} = \dfrac{- 2mv}{-mv}

\dfrac{P_m1}{P_m2} = \dfrac{2}{1}

the correct answer is option C

A capacitor with an initial potential difference of 185 V is discharged through a resistor when a switch between them is closed
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

  • a. \tau =  2.1161 s
  • b. V(18.8 \ s) = 0.0256 \ V

Explanation:

<h3>a.</h3>

The equation for the voltage V of  discharging capacitor in an RC circuit at time t is:

V(t) = V_0 e^{(- \frac{t}{\tau}) }

where V_0 is the initial voltage, and \tau is the time constant.

For our problem, we know

V_0 = 185 \ V

and

V(10 \ s) = V_0 e^{(- \frac{10 \ s}{\tau}) } = 1.64 \ V

So

185 \ V \ e^{(- \frac{10 \ s}{\tau}) } = 1.64 \ V

e^{(- \frac{10 \ s}{\tau}) } = \frac{1.64 \ V}{ 185 \ V }

ln (e^{(- \frac{10 \ s}{\tau}) } ) = ln (\frac{1.64 \ V}{ 185 \ V })

- \frac{10 \ s}{\tau}  = ln (\frac{1.64 \ V}{ 185 \ V })

\tau =  \frac{-10 \s}{ln (\frac{1.64 \ V}{ 185 \ V }) }

This gives us

\tau =  2.1161 s

and this is the time constant.

<h3>b.</h3>

At t = 18.8 s we got:

V(18.8 \ s) = 185 \ V  \ e^{(- \frac{18.8 \ s}{2.1161 s}) }

V(18.8 \ s) = 185 \ V \ e^{(- \frac{18.8 \ s}{2.1161 s}) }

V(18.8 \ s) = 0.0256 \ V
