The red shift of visible light waves that is observed by astronomers on Earth is used to determine the

1 answer:

3 0

This actually means that the object which is emitting light spectrum is moving away from us.. how do you know that ? well.. it is clearly mentioned that it is a red shift so the wavelengths will stretched more . and thus the spectrum turns more reddish as it has higher wavelengths .. hence so called red shifts

A boy whirls a stone in a horizontal circle of radius 1.4 m and at height 1.5 m above ground level. The string breaks, and the s

balandron [24]

Answer: $233.23 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

radius of circle=1.4 m

Height of stone above ground=1.5 m

Horizontal distance(R)=10 m

It is given at the time of break stone flies horizontally thus stone to cover a height of 1.5 m in time t before reaching ground

$1.5=0+\frac{gt^2}{2}$

t=0.55 s

Initial horizontal velocity at the time of break is given by u

$R=u\times t$

$10=u\times 0.55$

u=18.07 m/s

Therefore magnitude of centripetal acceleration is given by

$a_c=\frac{u^2}{r}=\frac{18.07^2}{1.4}=233.23 m/s^2$

A mixture of helium and oxygen is used in scuba diving tanks to help prevent ""the bends"". 46 L helium and 12 L oxygen are comb

marin [14]

Answer

given,

For helium

Volume,V = 46 L

Pressure,P = 1 atm

Temperature,T = 25°C = 273 +25 = 298 K

R=0.0821 L . atm /mole.K

n₁ = ?

number of moles

we know

P V = n R T

$n_1 =\dfrac{46 \times 1}{0.0821\times 298}$

n₁ = 1.89 moles

For oxygen

Volume,V = 12 L

Pressure,P = 1 atm

Temperature,T = 25°C = 273 +25 = 298 K

R=0.0821 L . atm /mole.K

n₂ = ?

number of moles

we know

P V = n R T

$n_2 =\dfrac{12 \times 1}{0.0821\times 298}$

n₂ = 0.49 moles

Total volume of tank = 5 L

temperature of tank = 298 K

Partial pressure of helium

$P_1=\dfrac{n_1 R T}{V}$

$P_1=\dfrac{1.89\times 0.0821\times 298}{5}$

P₁ = 9.25 atm

Partial pressure of oxygen

$P_2=\dfrac{n_2 R T}{V}$

$P_2=\dfrac{0.49\times 0.0821\times 298}{5}$

P₂ = 2.39 atm

total pressure

P = P₁ + P₂

P = 9.25 + 2.39

P = 11.64 atm

Hey!

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Hydraulic pressure exerted on glass slab, ρ=10 atm

Bulk modulus of glass, B=37×10^9 Nm^−2

Bulk modulus, B=P/(ΔV/V)

where,

ΔV/V= Fractional change in volume

ΔV/V=P/B

=10×1.013×10^5 /(37×10 ^9)

=2.73×10^-5

Therefore, the fractional change in the volume of the glass slab is 2.73×10^-5

Hope it helps

When adjusting the valve clearances on the engine, Technician A says the valves are closed when the valve lifter or follower is

andre [41]

Answer:

A. Technician A only

Explanation:

The camshaft opening ramp is what opens the valve, it starts at the basement of the inner circle and closes at the nose while the camshaft closing ramp allows for closing a valve starts at the nose and closes at the inner base circle. Valve clearance on an engine are performed when closing a valve, and is completed when the valve lifter or follower is on the inner base circle of the camshaft lobe.
