When observed from Earth, the wavelengths of light emitted by a star are shifted toward the red end of the

Physics

Lilit [14]2 years ago

Answer: The redshift occurs because the starts are moving away from the earth.

Explanation:

Every object emits wavelength from its body. When it comes to universe there are some visible light emitted by the stars and other objects in galaxy.

If a star is moving towards the sun then it emits a shorter wavelength compared to the source which is at rest. This is blue in color called as blue shift.

But when it comes to stars they move away from the earth and hence emits longer wavelength called as red shift.

As the object it at rest it more towards the blue side and when the objects starts moving it starts moving towards the red side in the visible spectrum.

So, when the starts moves away from the earth it forms a Redshift.

A 31 kg crate full of very cute kittens is placed on an incline that is 17° below the horizontal. The crate is connected to a sp
fgiga [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

Change in length of spring = 2.13 m

Component of weight acting on spring = mg sinθ

so

mg sinθ = k x where k is spring constant and x is total stretch due to force on the spring.

Here x = 2.13

mg sin17 = k x 2.13

31 x 9.8 sin17 = k x 2.13

k = 41.7 N/m

b ) In case surface had friction , spring would have stretched by less distance .

It is so because , the work done by gravity in stretching down is stored as potential energy in  spring . In case of dissipative force like friction , it also takes up some energy in the form of heat etc  so spring stretches less.

A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly over a time of 18 seconds for a distance of 390 m. Determine the acceleration o
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

a=2.4\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

The initial speed of a car, u = 0

Time, t = 18 s

Distance, d = 390 m

We need to find the acceleration of the car. Let it is a. Using the second equation of motion to find it.

d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

or

d=\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\a=\dfrac{2d}{t^2}\\\\a=\dfrac{2\times 390}{(18)^2}\\\\a=2.4\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the car is 2.4\ m/s^2.

What do we have seasons on earth
Goryan [66]

Because the Earth's axis is not "straight up and down" as we move
around the sun. 

So when we're on one side of the sun, the top pole leans slightly toward
the sun.  During that time the sun shines more directly on the top half
of the Earth, and less directly on the bottom half.  The people on the
top half see the sun higher in the sky, and their weather is warmer,
while the people on the bottom half see the sun lower in the sky, and
their weather is cooler.

Then, when we're on the other side of the sun, the top pole leans slightly
away from the sun.  During that time the sun shines more directly on the
bottom half of the Earth, and less directly on the top half.  The people on
the bottom half see the sun higher in the sky, and their weather is warmer,
while the people on the top half see the sun lower in the sky, and their
weather is cooler.

The Earth makes the complete trip around the sun in one year, so the
people on the Earth go through this cycle of higher/lower sun and
warmer/cooler weather every year.
