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

In the box provided explain why living organisms contain more hydrogen atoms than any other atoms

leva [86]

Answer:it is due to present of water amount in our body. Our body consists 70%of water and 1/3of oxygen and 2/3 of hydrogen.

Explanation: human body consist of 1/3 of oxygen and 2/3 of hydrogen because oxygen contain 16 times more mass than hydrogen atom, hydrogen has only 1 proton so its atomic no. is 1 whereas oxygen has 8 proton and 8 neutrons so its atomic no.is 8 and mass is 16 so overall it takes 16 hydrogen atoms to equal to the mass of 1 oxygen atom.

In an arcade game a 0.099 kg disk is shot across a frictionless horizontal surface by compressing it against a spring and releas

Sonja [21]

Answer:

The speed of disk is 1.98 $\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of $m = 0.099$ kg

Spring constant $k = 244 \frac{N}{m}$

Compression of spring $x = 4 \times 10^{-2}$ m

From energy conservation theorem,

Spring potential energy converted into kinetic energy,

$\frac{1}{2} m v^{2} = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{k x^{2} }{m} }$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{244 \times 16 \times 10^{-4} }{0.099} }$

$v = 1.98 \frac{m}{s}$

Therefore, the speed of disk is 1.98 $\frac{m}{s}$

An airplane is initially flying horizontally (not gaining or losing altitude), and heading exactly North. Suppose that the earth

yanalaym [24]

Note: The answer choices are :

a) Increased

b) Decreased

c) stayed the same

Answer:

The correct option is Increased

The magnitude of the electric field potential difference between the wingtips increases.

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric potential difference is the induced emf and is given by the equation:

$emf = l (v \times B)$

where l = length

v = velocity

B = magnetic field

As the altitude of the airplane increases, the magnetic flux becomes stronger, the speed of the airplane becomes perpendicular to the magnetic field, i.e. $v \times B = vB sin90 = vB\\$ ,

the induced emf = vlB, and thus increases.

The magnitude of the electric field potential difference between the wingtips increases

A skateboarder rolls off a 2.5 m high bridge into the river. If the skateboarder was originally moving at 7.0 m/s, how much time

saul85 [17]

Answer:

t = 0.714 s and x = 5.0 m

Explanation:

This is a projectile throwing exercise, in this case when the skater leaves the bridge he goes with horizontal speed

vₓ = 7.0 m / s

Let's find the time it takes to get to the river

y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

the initial vertical speed is zero and when it reaches the river its height is zero

0 = y₀ + 0 - ½ g t²

t = $\sqrt{\frac{2y_o}{g} }$

t = ra 2 2.5 / 9.8

t = 0.714 s

the distance traveled is

x = vₓ t

x = 7.0 0.714

x = 5.0 m
