As we know by Doppler's effect of light we have

\frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda} = \frac{v}{c}

here we will have

[tex}\frac{398.1 nm - 396.9 nm}{398.1 nm} = \frac{v}{c}[/tex]

here by solving above we have

3.01 \times 10^{-3} = \frac{v}{c}

here we have

v = 904.3 km/s

since wavelength is increased so we can say that it is moving away

so correct answer is

1- 904.3 km/s away from the Earth

All forces on the bullets cancel so that the net force on a bullet is zero, which means the bullet has zero acceleration and is
andre [41]
The acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.
So, if the acceleration is zero, this means that the rate of change of velocity is zero, which also means that the body is moving with constant velocity.
Since we are given that the net forces acting on the body is zero, this means that the body is at equilibrium

Based on this:
<span>All forces on the bullets cancel so that the net force on a bullet is zero, which means the bullet has zero acceleration and is in a state known as equilibrium.

Note that if this constant velocity is equal to zero, then the body would be at rest (not moving)</span>

If a metal wire is 4m long and a force of 5000n causes it to stretch by 1mm, what is the strain?
barxatty [35]

Answer:

2.5\cdot 10^{-4}

Explanation:

The strain is defined as the ratio of change of dimension of an object under a force:

S=\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}

where

\Delta L is the change in length of the object

L_0 is the original length of the object

In this problem, we have L_0 = 4 m and \Delta L=1 mm=0.001 m, therefore the strain is

S=\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}=\frac{0.001 m}{4 m}=2.5\cdot 10^{-4}

A 4.5-m-long wooden board with a 24-kg mass is supported in two places. One support is directly under the center of the board, a
JulijaS [17]

All the weight of the wooden board is bear by the support located at the centre of the rod, and the other support which is located at the end, will have no reaction force, or 0 reaction force.

Therefore the reaction at the centre support is equal to the weight of the board, while the support at the end has 0 reaction force.

You place your hands over a steaming bowl of soup to warm them. Which type of heat transfer are you experiencing?
Pani-rosa [81]

There could be a little bit of conduction through the air that's between the soup and your hand.  But it's very small, because air is not a good conductor of heat.

It's mostly <em>convection</em> ... hot air and steam rising from the soup to your hand.

Then, of course, there HAS to be some conduction when the hot gases reach your hand ... their heat has to soak into your skin, and that's conduction.
