"why are some galaxies' spectra blueshifted rather than redshifted?"

Physics

stira [4]3 years ago

This phenomena is also called the Doppler shift. When the source of light is approaching towards an observer, the color tends to be blue shifted, but when the source is moving away or being stretch, the color tends to red shifted. In astronomy it can be use how fast galaxy is moving towards us or how fast it moves away.

What is the magnitude of the impulse that would cause the 2-kg box to accelerate from 2 m/s to 5 m/s?
Law Incorporation [45]

6 J is the impulse caused by the change in velocity of 2 kg box from 2 m/s to 5 m/s.

Answer:

The magnitude of impulse is 6 J.

Explanation:

Impulse is the force acting on any object for a given time interval. As force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration and acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. Then the product of force with time interval will be equal to the product of mass with change in velocity.

F = m a = \frac{m(v-u)}{(t_{2}-t_{1}  )}

FΔt = mΔv

Impulse = FΔt=mΔv

As the mass of box is given as 2 kg and the velocity changes from 2 m/s to 5 m/s, then the impulse = 2 × (5-2) = 2 ×3 =6 J

So 6 J is the impulse caused by the change in velocity of 2 kg box from 2 m/s to 5 m/s.

To reduce inductive reactance, what devices are normally placed on transmission or distribution lines?
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer : Capacitors

Explanation : Capacitors are normally  placed on transmission or distribution lines when to reduce inductive reactance.

This is because it enhances electromechanical and voltage stability , limit voltage dips at network nodes and reduces the power loss.

So, we can say that inductive reactance normally replace by the capacitors.

A bulb converts 9J of energy in each second from an input of 100J of energy. Calculate efficiency of this light bulb
77julia77 [94]
Efficiency is calculated through dividing the actual mechanical advantage by the hypothetical mechanical advantage:

- the actual mechanical advantage is 9J because that's how much work the light bulb doing

- the hypo. mechanical advantage is 100J. Ideally, in a perfect world, the light bulb can convert 100J input into 100J output, but do to resistance and other factors it is not possible.

\frac{9}{100}  = .09
change the decimal to a percentage:

.09 = 9\%
the light bulb had 9% efficiency

an electromagnetic wave propagates in a vacuum in the x-direction. In what direction does the electric field oscilate
sweet [91]

Answer:

<em>The electric field  can either oscillates in the z-direction, or the y-direction, but must oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation, and the direction of oscillation of the magnetic field.</em>

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves that have an oscillating magnetic and electric field, that oscillates perpendicularly to one another. Electromagnetic waves are propagated in a direction perpendicular to both the electric and the magnetic field. If the wave is propagated in the x-direction, then the electric field can either oscillate in the y-direction, or the z-direction but must oscillate perpendicularly to both the the direction of oscillation of the magnetic field, and the direction of propagation of the wave.
