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

A 7.25-kg bowling ball is being swung horizontally in a clockwise direction (as viewed from above) at a constant speed in a circ

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

$a_c=9.66\frac{m}{s^2}$

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration is given by:

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}(1)$

Here v is the linear speed and r is the radius of the circular motion. v is defined as the distance traveled to make one revolution ( $2\pi r$ ) divided into the time takes to make one revolution, that is, the period (T).

$v=\frac{2\pi r}{T}(2)$

Replacing (2) in (1) and replacing the given values:

$a_c=\frac{(\frac{2\pi r}{T})^2}{r}\\a_c=\frac{4\pi^2 r}{T^2}\\a_c=\frac{4\pi^2 (1.85m)}{(2.75s)^2}\\a_c=9.66\frac{m}{s^2}$

The human heart is a powerful and extremely reliable pump. Each day it takes in and discharges about 7500 L of blood. Assume tha

gregori [183]

The answers are:

a) $Work=125,923.61J$

b) $Power=1.46watt$

Why?

It seems that you forgot to write the questions of the problem, however, in order to help you, I will try to complete it.

The questions are:

a) How much work does the heart do in a day?

b) What is its power output in watts?

So, solving we have:

We need to convert from liter to cubic meters in order to use the given information, so:

$1L=0.001m^{3}\\\\7500L*\frac{0.001m^{3} }{1L}=7.5m^{3}$

Also, we need to find the mass given the density of the blood.

$1050}\frac{kg}{m^{3}}*7.5m^{3}=7875kg$

Now, calculating how much work does the heart do in a day, we have:

$Work=Fd=mgh\\\\Work=7875kg*9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}}*1.63m=125,923.61J$

Then, calculating what is the power output and its horsepower, we have:

$Power=\frac{Work}{time}\\\\Power=\frac{125,923.61J}{86,400s}=1.46watt$

Have a nice day!

A heavy stone of mass m is hung from the ceiling by a thin 8.25-g wire that is 65.0 cm long. When you gently pluck the upper end

Triss [41]

Answer: m= 35.6 kg

Explanation:

For finding the mass of the stone we have the formula

v= $\sqrt{\frac{Tension}{Linear. Mass. density} }$

Here, Tension= m*g = m*9.81

and linear mass density= $\frac{8.25 g}{65 cm}$

Linear mass density= $\frac{8.25*10^-3}{65*10^-2}$

Linear mass density= 0.0127 kg/m

Velocity= $2*\frac{l}{t}$

Velocity= 2 * $\frac{65*10^-2}{7.84}$

Velocity= 165.8 m/s

So putting all these values in equation we get

v= $\sqrt{\frac{Tension}{Linear. Mass. density} }$

165.8= $\sqrt{\frac{m*9.81}{0.0127} }$

Solving we get

m= 35.58 kg

or m= 35.6 kg
