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 satellite orbits the earth a distance of 1.50 × 107 m above the planet's surface and takes 8.65 hours for each revolution abou

kupik [55]

Answer:

The acceleration of the satellite is $0.87 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

The acceleration in a circular motion is defined as:

$a = \frac{v^{2}}{r}$ (1)

Where a is the centripetal acceleration, v the velocity and r is the radius.

The equation of the orbital velocity is defined as

$v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T}$ (2)

Where r is the radius and T is the period

For this particular case, the radius will be the sum of the high of the satellite ( $1.50x10^{7} m$ ) and the Earth radius ( $6.38x10^{6} m$ ) :

$r = 1.50x10^{7} m+6.38x10^{6}m$

$r = 21.38x10^{6}m$

Then, equation 2 can be used:

$T = 8.65 hrs \cdot \frac{3600 s}{1hrs}$ ⇒ $31140 s$

$v = \frac{2 \pi (21.38x10^{6}m)}{31140s}$

$v = 4313 m/s$

Finally equation 1 can be used:

$a = \frac{(4313m/s)^{2}}{21.38x10^{6}m}$

$a = 0.87 m/s^{2}$

Hence, the acceleration of the satellite is $0.87 m/s^{2}$

A scientist wants to model an internal organ with connective tissue as a mass on a spring. The mass of the organ is 2.0 kg, and

vichka [17]

Answer:

Spring constant, k = 5483.11 N/m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the organ, m = 2 kg

The natural period of oscillation is, T = 0.12 s

Let k is the spring constant for the spring in the scientist's model. The period of oscillation is given by :

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}$

$k=\dfrac{4\pi^2 m}{T^2}$

$k=\dfrac{4\pi^2 \times 2\ kg}{(0.12\ s)^2}$

k = 5483.11 N/m

So, the spring constant for the spring in the scientist's model is 5483.11 N/m.

A circular parallel plate capacitor is constructed with a radius of 0.52 mm, a plate separation of 0.013 mm, and filled with an

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

289282

Explanation:

r = Radius of plate = 0.52 mm

d = Plate separation = 0.013 mm

A = Area = $\pi r^2$

V = Potential applied = 2 mV

k = Dielectric constant = 40

$\epsilon_0$ = Electric constant = $8.854\times 10^{-12}\ \text{F/m}$

Capacitance is given by

$C=\dfrac{k\epsilon_0A}{d}$

Charge is given by

$Q=CV\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{k\epsilon_0AV}{d}\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{40\times 8.854\times 10^{-12}\times\pi \times (0.52\times 10^{-3})^2\times 2\times 10^{-3}}{0.013\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow Q=4.6285\times 10^{-14}\ \text{C}$

Number of electron is given by

$n=\dfrac{Q}{e}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{4.6285\times 10^{-14}}{1.6\times10^{-19}}\\\Rightarrow n=289281.25\ \text{electrons}$

The number of charge carriers that will accumulate on this capacitor is approximately 289282.
