Answer:

1606

The main reason for using light years, however, is because the distances we deal with in space are immense. If we stick to miles or kilometers we quickly run into unwieldy numbers just measuring the distance to the nearest star: a dim red dwarf called Proxima Centauri that sits a mere 24,000,000,000,000 miles away!

Just need help with 1 and 2 please :D i’m having a bit of trouble :/
dexar [7]
1. Traveling by car means you have specific roads to follow. You won’t be able to go straight to Banning high from POLAHS. The 8.4km will be defined as distance. Traveling by helicopter you don’t have roads to follow that means you can fly directly to banning high. 6.8km will be defined as displacement.

2. A) 400m
B)0m
C)d=1/2(vi+vf)t
400=1/2(0+vf)92
8.7m/s
D) 0m/s
E) Not sure but instantaneous velocity refer to velocity at a given point. Average velocity is just the average. Usually instantaneous velocity won’t be same as the average velocity.
Plz like if it helped.

Find the kinetic energy of an electron whose de broglie wavelength is 34.0 nm.
dezoksy [38]
The De Broglie wavelength of the electron is
\lambda=34.0 nm=34 \cdot 10^{-9} m
And we can use De Broglie's relationship to find its momentum:
p= \frac{h}{\lambda}= \frac{6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js}{34 \cdot 10^{-9} m}=1.94 \cdot 10^{-26} kg m/s

Given p=mv, with m being the electron mass and v its velocity, we can find the electron's velocity:
v= \frac{p}{m}= \frac{1.94 \cdot 10^{-26} kgm/s}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg}=  2.13 \cdot 10^4 m/s

This velocity is quite small compared to the speed of light, so the electron is non-relativistic and we can find its kinetic energy by using the non-relativistic formula:
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg)(2.13 \cdot 10^4 m/s)^2=2.06 \cdot 10^{-22} J

From laboratory measurements, we know that a particular spectral line formed by hydrogen appears at a wavelength of 121.6 nanome
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

b) The star is moving away from us.

Explanation:

If an object moves toward us, the light waves it emits are compressed - the wavelength of the light will be shorter, making the light bluer. On the other hand, if an object moves away from us, the light waves are stretched, making it redder. If from laboratory measurements we know that a specific hydrogen spectral line appears at the wavelength of 121.6 nanometers (nm) and the spectrum of a particular star shows the same hydrogen line appearing at the wavelength of 121.8 nm, we can conclude that the star is moving away from npos, since the wavelength related to that star is more expanded.
