The spectrum of Star A has an absorption line of hydrogen at 660.0 nm. The spectrum of Star B has an absorption line at 666 nm.

The wavelength of this transition in the laboratory is 656.2 nm. What can I say about Star A and B?

Answer:

The stars are moving away from us.

Explanation:

The observed wavelengths of hydrogen transition for stars A and B (660.0 nm and 666 nm respectively) are greater than that observed in the laboratory (656.2 nm). The observed long wavelengths for the stars means that the light from the stars is red-shifted.

According to the Doppler effect, red-shifted light means that the source is moving a way from the observer; therefore, we arrive at the conclusion that the stars A and B are moving away from us.

A wooden piece is made in different shapes take length (l) = radius (r) = 2m Calculate its volume as a:
In-s [12.5K]

This question deals with the volume of different shapes.

a) volume of the sphere is "33.51 m³".

b) volume of the cylinder is "25.13 m³".

a)

The volume of a sphere is given by the following formula:

Volume = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\\\Volume = \frac{4}{3}\pi (2\ m)^3

<u>Volume = 33.51 m³</u>

<u />

b)

The volume of a cylinder is given by the following formula:

Volume = \pi r^2l\\\\Volume =\pi (2\ m)^2(2\ m)

<u>Volume = 25.13 m³</u>

<u />

In a certain region of space, a uniform electric field has a magnitude of 4.30 x 104 n/c and points in the positive x direction.
denis23 [38]
The magnetic force exerted by a field E to a charge q is given by F=Eq. In this case, F=4.30*10^4*(6.80mu C). 1mu C=10^-6C, so F=4.30*6.80=10^-2=0.29N. The direction is in the x direction, the direction that the field is applied because the charge is positive.

A 4.00-kg box sits atop a 10.0-kg box on a horizontal table. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the two boxes and betwe
natta225 [31]
First, we have to calculate the normal forces on different surfaces.The normal force on the 4.00 kg, N1 = (4)(9.8) = 39.2 N. The normal force on the 10.0 kg, N2 = (14)(9.8) = 137.2 N. Looking at the 10.0 kg block, the static forces that counteract the pulling force equals the sum of the friction from the two surfaces. Fc = N1 * 0.80 + N2 * 0.80 = 141.12 N. Since the counter force is less than the pulling force, the blocks start to move and hence, kinetic frictions are considered.


Therefore, f1 = uk * N1 = (0.60)(39.2) = 23.52 N.
