Suppose that you'd like to find out if a distant star is moving relative to the earth. The star is much too far away to detect a

ny change in its brightness as it moves toward or away from the earth. Instead we can use the Doppler effect to determine its relative speed. For this problem we are going to look at the spectral lines from hydrogen, specifically the one with a wavelength of 656.46 nm.
Required:
What is V(star) , the speed at which the star is moving relative to the earth?

Answer:

The speed will be "18km/s". A further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

According to the question, the values are:

Wavelength,

\lambda = 656.46 \ nm

\Delta \lambda = 0.04

c=3\times 10^8

As we know,

⇒  \frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda} =\frac{v}{c}

On substituting the values, we get

⇒  \frac{656.46}{0.04} =\frac{v}{3\times 10^8}

⇒         v=\frac{656.46}{0.04} (3\times 10^8)

⇒            =16411.5\times 3\times 10^8

⇒            =18280 \ m/s

or,

⇒            =18 \ km/s

A 3.6-volt battery is used to operate a cell phone
Marina CMI [18]

Explanation :

It is given that,

Potential energy, V=3.6\ V

Power dissipated,  P=0.064\ Watt

We know that the power dissipated is given by :

P=VI

I is the current passing through the phone.

I=\dfrac{P}{V}

I=\dfrac{0.064\ W}{3.6\ V}

I=0.017\ A

or

I = 0.018 A

Hence, the current that passes through the phone is (1) 0.018 A.

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

W = 1222.4 J = 1.22 KJ

Explanation:

The work done on an object is the product of the force applied on it and the displacement it covers as a result of this force. It must be noted that the component of displacement in the direction of force should only be used. Hence, the work can be calculated as:

W = F d Cosθ

where,

W = Work Done = ?

F = Force Applied = 64 N

d = Distance Covered by Box = 19.1 m

θ = Angle between force and displacement = 0°

Therefore,

W = (64 N)(19.1 m)Cos 0°

<u>W = 1222.4 J = 1.22 KJ</u>

A 4.00 kg block is suspended from a spring with k 500 N/m. A 50.0 g bullet is fired into the block from directly below with a sp
Yanka [14]

Answer:

a. A = 0.1656 m

b. % E = 1.219

Explanation:

Given

mB = 4.0 kg , mb = 50.0 g = 0.05 kg , u₁ = 150  m/s , k = 500 N / m

a.

To find the amplitude of the resulting SHM using conserver energy

ΔKe + ΔUg + ΔUs = 0

¹/₂ * m * v²  -  ¹/₂ * k * A² = 0

A = √ mB * vₓ² / k

vₓ = mb * u₁ / mb + mB

vₓ = 0.05 kg * 150 m / s / [0.050 + 4.0 ] kg = 1.8518

A = √ 4.0 kg * (1.852 m/s)²   /   (500 N / m)

A = 0.1656 m

b.

The percentage of kinetic energy

%E = Es / Ek

Es = ¹/₂ * k * A² = 500 N / m * 0.1656²m = 13.72 N*0.5

Ek = ¹/₂ * mb * v² = 0.05 kg * 150² m/s = 1125 N

% E = 13.72 / 1125 = 0.01219 *100

% E = 1.219
