An astronomy class is so excited by the discovery of planets around other stars that they decide to do a library exhibit on the

subject so that everyone in the school can learn about it. In this exhibit they want to pay tribute to both the astronomers of today who have done the work AND some of the scientists of the past whose work was essential to making the discoveries possible (and directly related to the techniques involved). Which of the following scientists of the past should definitely be included in the exhibit?
a. George Herbigâ
b. Ejnar Hertzsprungâ
c. Ptolemyâ
d. Gerard Kuiperâ
e. Christian Dopplerâ

Answer: e. Christian Dopplerâ

Explanation:

Based on the information given, the scientist of the past that should definitely be included in the exhibit is Christian Dopplera.

He described how the frequency of sound waves and light is being affected by the relative speed of both the source and also the observer. This was referred to as the Doppler effect.

In this scenario, the Doppler effect can be used to show how the universe is expanding. Therefore, the correct option is E.

List atleast to conditions that could cause the pressure inside a sealed container of gas to increase
hjlf
There are exactly three ways that could happen:

1).  The container was heated, and the gas inside it got warmer.

2).  Some part inside the container moved somehow, and made
      the inside volume smaller, so the gas got scrunched into a
      smaller space.

3).  Somebody pumped some more gas into the container, so
      a greater amount of gas had to live in the same space.

Explain how the mass of a planet affects the motion of the planet around the sun?
vodomira [7]

Answer:

The gravitational attraction of the Sun is what holds the planets in their elliptical orbits. So to explain this the mass effects the motion of the planets because the strength of gravitational force depends of the mass.

A bug on the surface of a pond is observed to move up and down a total vertical distance of 6.5 cm , from the lowest to the high
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

factor that bug maximum KE change is 0.52284

Explanation:

given data

vertical distance = 6.5 cm

ripples decrease to =  4.7 cm

solution

We apply here formula for the KE of particle that executes the simple harmonic motion that is express as

KE = (0.5) × m × A² × ω²     .................1

and kinetic energy is  directly proportional to square of the amplitude.

so

\frac{KE2}{KE1} =  \frac{A2^2}{A1^2}      .............2

\frac{KE2}{KE1} = \frac{4.7^2}{6.5^2}

\frac{KE2}{KE1} = 0.52284

so factor that bug maximum KE change is 0.52284

A cannonball is fired vertically upwards at 100.0 m/s a) How long will it take to return to the cannon? b) what is it's maximum
V125BC [204]
Answer:
a) 20s
b) 500m

Explanation:
Given the initial velocity = 100 m/s, acceleration = -10m/s^2 (since it is moving up, acceleration is negative), and at the maximum height, the ball is not moving so final velocity = 0 m/s.

To find time, we apply the UARM formula:

v final = (a x t) + v initial

Replacing the values gives us:

0 = (-10 x t) + 100

-100 = -10t

t = 10s

It takes 10s for the the ball to reach its max height, but it must also go down so it takes 2 trips, once going up and then another one going down, both of which take the same time to occur

So 10s going up and another 10s going down:

10x2 = 20s

b) Now that we have v final = 0, v initial = 100, a = -10, t = 10s (10s because maximum displacement means the displacement from the ground to the max height) we can easily find the displacement by applying the second formula of UARM:

Δy = (1/2)(a)(t^2) + (v initial)(t)

Replacing the values gives us:

Δy = (1/2)(-10)(10^2) + (100)(10)

= (-5)(100) + 1000

= -500 + 1000

= 500 m

Hope this helps, brainliest would be appreciated :)
