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 3250 N car is pushed a distance of 35 m the power was 11375 J, how long did it take?

irakobra [83]

Answer:

10.8s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force on the car = 3250N

Distance = 35m

Power = 11375W

Unknown:

Time taken = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem;

Power is the rate at which work is done

Power = $\frac{work done }{time}$

Work done = force x distance = 3250 x 35 = 123200J

Now;

11375 = $\frac{123200}{t}$

11375t = 123200

t = 10.8s

A 0.500-kg block, starting at rest, slides down a 30.0° incline with static and kinetic friction coefficients of 0.350 and 0.250

Leviafan [203]

Answer:x=23.4 cm

Explanation:

Given

mass of block $m=0.5 kg$

inclination $\theta =30$

coefficient of static friction $\mu =0.35$

coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu _k=0.25$

distance traveled $d=77.3 cm$

spring constant $k=35 N/m$

work done by gravity+work done by friction=Energy stored in Spring

$mg\sin \theta d-\mu _kmg\cos \theta d=\frac{kx^2}{2}$

$mgd\left ( \sin \theta -\mu _k\cos \theta \right )=\frac{kx^2}{2}$

$0.5\times 9.8\times 0.773\left ( \sin 30-0.25\cos 30\right )=\frac{35\times x^2}{2}$

$x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 0.5\times 9.8\times 0.773(\sin 30-0.25\times \cos 30)}{35}}$

$x=0.234 m$

$x=23.4 cm$

What body systems help these cells get the energy they need?

MakcuM [25]

The body systems that help cells get the energy they need are the digestive system and circulatory system. The first system is the digestive system because when you eat food, your body breaks it down using the stomach and other different parts of the digestive system. The next one is the circulatory system because your blood carries the nutrients you acquired from food you digested to the cells throughout your body.
