Answer:

When observed from Earth, the wavelengths of light emitted by a star are shifted toward the red end of the electromagnetic spectrum because: the star is moving away from planet Earth.

A star is a giant astronomical or celestial object that contains a luminous sphere of plasma and bounded together by its own gravitational force.

A redshift can be defined as a displacement (shift) of the spectral lines of celestial or astronomical objects toward longer wavelengths (the red end of an electromagnetic spectrum), as a result of the Doppler effect.

Hence, a redshift is considered to be a subtle change in the color of visible electromagnetic radiation from stars (starlight), as observed from planet Earth.

In conclusion, a redshift occur when observing a star from planet Earth because the star is moving away from planet Earth.

svetoff [14.1K]

Work done against gravity to climb upwards is always stored in the form of gravitational potential energy

so we can say

W = mgh

here h = vertical height raised

so here we know that

h = 14.1 sin7.3 km

here we have

h = 1.79 km

now from above equation

W = (83 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(1.79 \times 10^3 m)

W = 1.46 \times 10^6 J

so work done will be given by above value

A scientist is studying a shock wave from an earthquake. What kind of wave is being studying?
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Longitudinal Mechanical Wave

Explanation:

Mechanical waves are the waves that require medium to propagate. And a longitudinal wave is a wave in which the vibration of the energy(here: mass specifically) is in the direction of propagation of wave.

Shock wave, strong pressure wave in any elastic medium such as air, water, or a solid substance, produced by supersonic aircraft, explosions, lightning, or other phenomena that create violent changes in pressure.

Shock waves travel faster than sound and their speed increases as the amplitude of the wave is increased but their intensity fades faster due to the fact that some of its energy gets expended in the form of heat due to the resistance of the medium.

A 24 cm radius aluminum ball is immersed in water. Calculate the thrust you suffer and the force. Knowing that the density of al
Illusion [34]

Answer:

W =1562.53 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of the aluminium ball, r = 24 cm = 0.24 m

The density of Aluminium, d=2698.4\ kg/m^3

We need to find the thrust and the force. The mass of the liquid displaced is given by :

m=dV

V is volume

Weight of the displaced liquid

W = mg

W=dVg

So,

W=dg\times \dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\\\W=2698.4\times 10\times \dfrac{4}{3}\times \pi \times (0.24)^3\\\\W=1562.53\ N

So, the thrust and the force is 1562.53 N.

Consider a variety of colors of visible light (say 400 nm to 700 nm) falling onto a pair of slits.
babymother [125]

Answer:

Explanation:

The relationship between angle and wavelength for maxima and minima in Young's double slit experiment is given by

For constructive interference

d\sin \theta =m\lambda

For Destructive interference

d\sin \theta =(m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda

where \lambda =wavelength

d=slit\ width

m=order of maxima and minima

for second order maxima i.e. m=2

For smallest separation taking \lambda =400 nm, \theta =90^{\circ}

d\sin 90=2\times 400\times 10^{-9}

d=0.8\times 10^{-6}

d=0.8\mu m

A plane is landing. It started at 400m/s and ended up at 50m/s after 30 seconds. What is it's acceleration?
quester [9]

Give u = start velocity

        v = end velocity

v = u + at

50 = 400 + a*30

30a = -350

a = -116.67 m/s^{2}

**Why the accecleration is negative number**

Because displacement, velocity, and acceleration are VECTOR QUANTITIES.

Vector Quantity must have direction.
