What does a knickpoint indicate on a river profile

<h3>Answer: </h3>

A knickpoint is a steep section of a river's profile that can range in size from a single waterfall to a multi-kilometer high-gradient region.

Imagine that you have obtained spectra for several galaxies and have measured the observed wavelength of a hydrogen emission lin
Lerok [7]

Answer:

A. z (galaxy 1) = -0.00515, z (galaxy 2) = -0.01707, z (galaxy 3) = -0.04008

B. v (galaxy 1) = -0.00517c, v (galaxy 2) = -0.01707c, v (galaxy 3) = -0.0401c

C. d (galaxy 1) = -21 Mpc,d (galaxy 2) = -69.4 Mpc, d (galaxy 3) = -163 Mpc

Explanation:

We begin by listing out the parameters we were given:

λ (obsv) = 656.3 nm, λ (emit 1) = 659.7 nm, λ (emit 2) = 667.7 nm,

λ (emit 3) = 683.7 nm

A) Using the Redshift formula, we have:

z = [λ (obsv) - λ (emit)]  ÷ λ (emit)

For galaxy 1:

z = [λ (obsv) - λ (emit 1)]  ÷ λ (emit 1)

z = (656.3 - 659.7) ÷ 659.7 = -0.00515

z = -<u>0.00515</u>

For galaxy 2:

z = [λ (obsv) - λ (emit 2)]  ÷ λ (emit 2)

z = (656.3 - 667.7) ÷ 667.7 = -0.01707

z = -<u>0.01707</u>

For galaxy 3:

z = [λ (obsv) - λ (emit 3)]  ÷ λ (emit 3)

z = (656.3 - 683.7) ÷ 683.7 = -0.04008

z = -<u>0.04008</u>

B) Using the Doppler formula, we have:

(Δλ ÷ λ) = v ÷ c

v = c * (Δλ ÷ λ)

but, z = (Δλ ÷ λ)

⇒ v = c * z

speed of light (c) = 3 x 10^{8} m/s

For galaxy 1:

v = c * z

Substitute z into the equation calculated from A) above

v =  3 x 10^{8} * (-0.00515)

v = -1.55 x 10^{6} m/s

v = -<u>0.00517c</u>

For galaxy 2:

v = c * z

Substitute z into the equation calculated from A) above

v =  3 x 10^{8} * (-0.01707)

v = -5.12 x 10^{6} m/s

v = -<u>0.01707c</u>

For galaxy 3:

v = c * z

Substitute z into the equation calculated from A) above

v =  3 x 10^{8} * (-0.04008)

v = -12.03 x 10^{6} m/s

v = -<u>0.0401c</u>

N.B: the negative value of velocity connotes that the galaxies are moving away from us (not towards us)

C) Using Hubbleʹs law, we have:

v = H · d

where:

v = velocity of a galaxy (km/s), d = distance (Mpc),

H = Hubble's constant (km/s/Mpc) = 73.8 km/sec

d = v ÷ H

We use the velocities calculated in B) above

For galaxy 1:

v = -1.55 x 10^{3} km/s

d = -1.55 x 10^{3} ÷ 73.8

d = -<u>21 Mpc </u>

For galaxy 2:

v = -5.12 x 10^{3} km/s

d = -5.12 x 10^{3} ÷ 73.8

d = -<u>69.4 Mpc </u>

For galaxy 3:

v = -12.03 x 10^{3} km/s

d = -12.03 x 10^{3} ÷ 73.8

d = -<u>163 Mpc</u>

N.B: distance cannot be a negative value

Why is it better to have air conditioning units closer to the ceiling when living in Florida?
torisob [31]
It's better to have air conditioning units near the ceiling regardless of where you live. Since cool air sinks, air conditioning units are usually near the ceiling so the cool air can spread around the room more. Hope this helped =)
