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.

What happens to air pressure as altitude decreases
Ksivusya [100]
Pressure decreases with increasing altitude. The pressure at any level in the atmosphere may be interpreted as the total weight of the air above a unit area at any elevation. At higher elevations, there are fewer air molecules above a given surface than a similar surface at lower levels.

Potential energy calculation - MxGxH. Gravity equals 10. How much
Elena L [17]

Answer:

Ep = 0.6095 [J]

Explanation:

As defined in the problem statement, potential energy is defined as the product of mass by gravity by height. But first we must convert all the values given to measures of the international system (SI)

g = gravity = 10 [m/s^2]

h = elevation = 40 [ft] = 12.19 [m]

m = mass = 5 [g] = 0.005 [kg]

Ep = potential energy [J]

Ep = 0.005*10*12.19 = 0.6095 [J]
