Answer:

Efficiency = 71%

Explanation:

Given the following data:

Output energy = 250 Joules

Input energy = 350 Joules

To find efficiency;

Efficiency = \frac {Out-put \; energy}{In-put \; energy} * 100

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Efficiency = \frac {250}{350} * 100

Efficiency = 0.7143 * 100

Efficiency = 71.43 ≈ 71%

Therefore, the efficiency of the candle is 71 percent.

In general, which type of planet would you expect to cause the largest doppler shift in the spectrum of its star?.
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

A giant (massive) planet close to the star is expected to cause the largest Doppler shift in the star's spectrum.

<h3>What is the Doppler Shift Method for Detecting Exoplanets?</h3>
  • Doppler spectroscopy is used to capture periodic velocity shifts in stellar spectra caused by orbiting giant planets. (This method is also known as the radial velocity method.)
  • The Doppler method, which is most commonly used to find exoplanets, is most suitable to look for very massive planets orbiting near their parent stars
<h3>What does the Doppler method tell us about planets? </h3>

The Doppler shift data can tell us something about the mass of the planet and the shape of its orbit. Since the Doppler shift only knows how fast it approaches and moves away from Earth, it is not possible to determine the exact mass of the planet without knowing the inclination of its orbit. Doppler data give a lower bound on mass.

When a car is traveling 120 km/h how many times more kinetic energy would it have than if it were
LekaFEV [45]

Answer: 9

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object. It is measured in joules, and depends on the mass (m) of the object and the speed (v) by which it moves i.e K.E = 1/2 x mass x velocity^2

So, car is traveling 120 km/h

KE = 1/2x m x (120 km/h)^2

KE = 0.5 x m x 14400

KE1 = 7200m

So, car is traveling 40 km/h

KE = 1/2x m x (40 km/h)^2

KE = 0.5 x m x 1600

KE2 = 800m

Now, divide the value of kinetic energy obtained during 120 km/h by that obtained during 40 km/h

i.e 7200m / 800m

= 9

Thus, the kinetic energy will be 9 times more at a speed of 120 km/h than at 40 km/h

What is a charge-coupled device (CCD), and how is it used in astronomy?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Charge-coupled device  (CCD) is a device that receives and transfers an electrical charge to the next region

Explanation:

Charge-coupled device  (CCD) is a device that receives and transfers an electrical charge to the next region where it can be modified like changing it to a electronic value.

In astronomy, high-powered telescopes can be used with CCD device image sensor cameras. The imaging system can concentrate for a number of hours on one place in space once the Earth's rotation synchronizes with the telescope.
