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.

Aneli [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

initial speed(u)=5 m/s

Final speed(v)=4 m/s

Distance traveled=3 m

using equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as

4^2-5^2=2(a)(3)

a=\frac{-3}{2}=-1.5 m/s^2

after this its final velocity will be zero

v^2-u^2=2as

0^2-4^2=2\times (-1.5)\times s

s=5.33 m

Total distance=3+5.33=8.33 m

Thus he will not be able to win the game

A 15.0-gram lead ball at 25.0°C was heated with 40.5 joules of heat. Given the specific heat of lead is 0.128 J/g∙°C, what is th
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

T=4985.5^{\circ}K

Explanation:

The equation that relates heat Q with the temperature change T-T_0 of a substance of mass <em>m </em>and specific heat <em>c </em>is Q=mc(T-T_0).

We want to calculate the final temperature <em>T, </em>so we have:

T=\frac{Q}{mc}+T_0

Which for our values means (in this case we do not need to convert the mass to Kg since <em>c</em> is given in g also and they cancel out, but we add 273^{\circ} to our temperature in ^{\circ}C to have it in ^{\circ}K as it must be):

T=\frac{Q}{mc}+T_0=\frac{40.5J}{(15g)(0.128J/g^{\circ}C)}+(298^{\circ}K)=4985.5^{\circ}K

Imagine you derive the following expression by analyzing the physics of a particular system: v2=v20+2ax. The problem requires so
lisabon 2012 [21]

As per kinematics equation we are given that

v^2 = v_o^2 + 2ax

now we are given that

a = 2.55 m/s^2

v_0 = 21.8 m/s

v = 0

now we need to find x

from above equation we have

0^2 = 21.8^2 + 2(2.55)x

0 = 475.24 + 5.1 x

x = 93.2 m

so it will cover a distance of 93.2 m

Zarrin [17]
This approach is called the dimensional analysis which involves only the units of measurement without their magnitudes. You simply have to do the operations by using variables. Cancel out like items that may appear both in the numerator and denominator side. The solution is as follows:

F = mv²/r = [kg][m/s]²/[m] = [kg][m²⁻¹][1/s²] = [kg·m/s²]
