A star is known to be moving at 8.46km/s toward the earth. If you observe the spectral line to be at 5.02nm, at what wavelength

would you expect to measure the spectral line in a lab?

Answer:

\lambda_x=5.019858nm

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Speed of star S=8.46km/s

Distance of spectral line \lambda_0= 5.02nm

Generally the equation for wavelength with respect to spectral lines is mathematically given by

\lambda=\lambda _0 *\frac{v}{c}

where

\lambda_0= length\ of\ spectral\ line

c=The\ speed\ of\ light

v= speed\ of\ moving\ object

therefore

\lambda=5.02*10^{-9} *\frac{8.46*10^{12}}{299 792 458*10^9}

\lambda=1.42*10^{-4} nm

Generally the equation for new wavelength is mathematically given as

\lambda_x=\lambda _0-\lambda

\lambda_x=5.02 nm-1.42*10^{-4} nm

\lambda_x=5.02-1.42*10^{-4}

Therefore

\lambda_x=5.019858nm

You have a ball with a mass 1.3 kg tied to a rope, and you spin it in a circle of radius 1.8m. If the ball is moving at a speed
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

6.5\; {\rm N}.

Explanation:

When an object travel at a speed of v in a circle of radius r, the (centripetal) acceleration of that object would be a = (v^{2} / r).

In this question, the ball is travelling at v = 3\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} in a circle of radius r = 1.8\; {\rm m}. The (centripetal) acceleration of this ball would be:

\begin{aligned} a &= \frac{v^{2}}{r} \\ &= \frac{(3\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}})^{2}}{1.8\; {\rm m}} \\ &= 5\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}\end{aligned}.

By Newton's Laws of Motion, for an object of mass m, if the acceleration of that object is a, the net force on that object would be m\, a. Since the acceleration of this ball is a = 5\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}, the net force on this ball would be:

\begin{aligned} F &= m\, a \\ &= 1.3\; {\rm kg} \times 5\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}} \\ &= 6.5\; {\rm N} \end{aligned}.

An electromagnetic wave is traveling straight down toward the center of the Earth. At a certain moment in time the electric fiel
Anika [276]

Answer:

North

Explanation:

In an electromagnetic wave, the direction of the wave, the direction of the electric field and the direction of the magnetic field are all perpendicular to each other.

Therefore, we can  find the direction of the magnetic field by using the right hand rule. We have:

- Index finger: direction of motion of the wave --> toward the center of Earth

- middle finger: direction of the electric field --> west

- thumb: direction of the magnetic field --> north

So, the magnetic field points north.

A rock is thrown horizontally from a high building at 33.8 m/s. What is the magnitude of its velocity 4.25 s later?
Alex17521 [72]
<h2>Answer:53.63ms^{-2}</h2>

Explanation:

The equations of motion used in this question is v=u+at

When a object is projected horizontally from a sufficiently height,the x-component of acceleration remains zero because there is no force that drags the object in x direction.

But,due to gravity,the object accelerates downward at a rate of 9.8ms^{-2}.

In X-Direction,

Given that initial velocity=u_{x}=33.8ms^{-1}

Using v=u+at,

v_{x}=33.8+(0)4.25=33.8ms^{-1}

In Y-Direction,

Given that initial velocity=u_{x}=0ms^{-1}

Using v=u+at,

v_{y}=0+(9.8)4.25=41.65ms^{-1}

v=\sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2}}

v=\sqrt{1142.44+1734.72}=\sqrt{2877.163}=53.63ms^{-1}
