What is the name of the phenomenon that causes observed light from a star to change its wavelength?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer: This is called the Doppler effect, where waves shift frequency and wavelength as the source travels towards you (higher frequency, shorter wavelength) or away from you (lower frequency, longer wavelength)

Explanation:

hoped this helped have a good day :)

The following quantities describe location or its change:position, distance, and a displacement. Which are vectors?

-Dominant- [34]

As per the question there are three physical quantities named as position,distance and displacement.

Before coming into a conclusion first we have to understand a vector and a scalar.

A scalar quantity is a quantity which has only magnitude for it's complete specifications.

A vector is a quantity which has magnitude as well as direction and at the same time it is in accordance with the paraellogram law of vector addition.

Out of the three options displacement and position are vector quantities.It is because it is the minimum distance between two points .It has magnitude as well as direction.

Distance can not be considered as a vector quantity as it has only magnitude.There is no specific directions of distance travelled.

Position vector is a vector which provides location of an object in a plane or space.It is nothing else except the point which has x,y,z coordinates with origin is taken as the reference point.

Hence position and displacement are vectors

A 43-N crate is suspended from the left end of a plank. The plank weighs 21 N, but it is not uniform, so its center of gravity d

lesya [120]

Answer:

$d_{2}=0.585m$

Explanation:

The torque is the force by the distance so to determinate that both torque are the same magnitude so

$T_{1}-T_{2}=0$

$T_{1}=T_{2}$

$F_{1}*d_{1}=F_{2}*d_{2}$

$43N*0.30m=21N*d_{2}$

Solve to d2

$d_{2}=\frac{41N*0.30m}{21N}$

$d_{2}=0.585m$

For a given Prandtl-Meyer expansion, the upstream Mach number is 3 and the pressure ratio across the wave is P2/P1 = 0.4. Calcul

loris [4]

Answer:

The angle for the forward Mach line is 19.47°

The angle for the rearward Mach line is 5.21°

Explanation:

From table A-1 (Modern Compressible Flow: with historical perspective):

$\frac{P_{o} }{P_{1} } =36.73$ (M₁ = 3)

If Po₁ = Po₂

$\frac{P_{o2} }{P_{2} } =\frac{P_{o1} }{P_{1} } *\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} } =36.73*\frac{1}{4} =91.825$

Table A-1:

$\frac{P_{o2} }{P_{2} } =91.825,M_{2} =3.63$

Table A-5:

v₁ = 49.76°

μ₁ = 19.47°

v₂ = 60.55°

μ₂ = 16°

θ = 60.55 - 49.76 = 10.79°

The angle for the forward Mach line is:

μ₁ = 19.47°

The angle for the rearward Mach line is:

θr = μ₂ - θ = 16 - 10.79 = 5.21°

A ball is bouncing to a height that is 1/3 of the previous height after every bounce. What kind of sequence is this? How could y

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer and Explanation:

The ball is bouncing to a height of 1/3 of its previous height this is a type of geometric sequence the total distance can be found by the sum of geometric sequence

For example let the initial height is 243 fit

After one bounce it will reach 243/3 =81 feet

After second bounce 81/3=27 feet

After third bounce 27/3 =9 feet

After fourth bounce 9/3 =3 feet

So a sequence is formed that is 243,81,27,9,3..........

Here $r=\frac{3}{9}=\frac{1}{3}$

Sum of infinite GP = $\frac{a}{1-r}$

From this formula we can find the total distance traveled by the ball
