Mashcka [7]3 years ago

Answer with Explanation:

One hypothesis above would probably rely on the situation called <em>"inelastic collision." </em>The two carts are travelling towards each other at different speed. So, this means that once they collide, the kinetic energy will not be conserved but will be transferred as <em>sound energy, thermal energy or material deformation</em>. The impact will be great, thus a <u>greater fraction of kinetic energy will be lost from the system.</u>

A star is moving away from an observer. Toward which end of the spectrum does its visible light shift?.
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Redshift, or lower power

Explanation:

doppler effect

waves get stretched when you are moving away from something, and squished when you are moving towards it. Imagine you have a long, bent wire. if you stretch out the wire, the wavelength becomes longer. This also applies to sound.

An amateur astronomer grinds a double convex lens whose surfaces have radii of curvature of 40 cm and 60 cm. The glass has an in
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

44.4cm

Explanation:

glass has an index of refraction .n = 1.54

radii of curvature of 40 cm R1 = 40 by

radii of curvature of 600 cm R2 = 60

Now, by lens maker formula

1/f = (n - 1) (1/R1 - 1/R2)

Putting in the given values for n = 1.54 , we get f = 22.2

\frac{1}{f} = (1.54 -1) (\frac{1}{40cm} -\frac{1}{(-60cm)} )

\frac{1}{f} = 0.0225

f = 1 / 0.0225

f = 44.4cm

so, focal length in air will be  = 44.4 cm

g100num [7]

Answer:

New Madrid earthquakes are centered in a plate interior, meaning they were intraplate earthquakes.

Explanation:

The 1811-1812 new madrid earthquakes were different from most california earthquakes because the New Madrid earthquakes were centered in a North American plate interior caused by stress within the plates.

The New Madrid earthquakes often referred to as the "Tecumseh's Comet" was the biggest earthquake in America history.
