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)

Answer:

0.75 g/cm^3

Explanation:

The formula for density:

$\rho = \frac{m}{V}$

Where m is the mass and V is the volume.

So, we can substitute values for m and V:

$\rho = \frac{277}{370}\approx0.75$

Therefore, the density is 0.75 g/cm^3 (watch the units!)

a 230 kg roller coaster reaches the top of the steepest hill with a speed of 6.2 km/h. It then descends the hill, which is at an

Answer: 81.619 kJ

Explanation:

Given

Mass of roller coaster is $m=230\ kg$

It reaches the steepest hill with speed of $u=6.2\ km/h\ or \ 1.72\ m/s$

Hill to bottom is 51 m long with inclination of $45^{\circ}$

Height of the hill is $h=51\sin 45^{\circ}=36.06\ m$

Conserving energy to get kinetic energy at bottom

Energy at top=Energy at bottom

$\Rightarrow K_t+U_t=K_b+U_b\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mu^2+mgh=K_b+0\\\\\Rightarrow K_b=0.5\times 230\times 1.72^2+230\times 9.8\times 36.06\\\Rightarrow K_b=340.216+81,279.24\\\Rightarrow K_b=81,619.456\ J\\\Rightarrow K_b=81.619\ kJ$
