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 hockey stick strikes a hockey puck of mass 0.17 kg. If the force exterted on the hockey puck is 35.0 N and there is a force of

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

$a=190\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Mass of a hockey puck, m = 0.17 kg

Force exerted by the hockey puck, F' = 35 N

The force of friction, f = 2.7 N

We need to find the acceleration of the hockey puck.

Net force, F=F'-f

F=35-2.7

F=32.3 N

Now, using second law of motion,

F = ma

a is the acceleration of the hockey puck

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{32.3}{0.17}\\\\a=190\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the hockey puck is $190\ m/s^2$ .

Water at 20°C flows by gravity through a smooth pipe from one reservoir to a lower one. The elevation difference is 60 m. The pi

Serga [27]

Answer:

Flow Rate = 80 m^3 /hours (Rounded to the nearest whole number)

Explanation:

Given

Hf = head loss
f = friction factor
L = Length of the pipe = 360 m
V = Flow velocity, m/s
D = Pipe diameter = 0.12 m
g = Gravitational acceleration, m/s^2
Re = Reynolds's Number
rho = Density =998 kg/m^3
μ = Viscosity = 0.001 kg/m-s
Z = Elevation Difference = 60 m

Calculations

Moody friction loss in the pipe = Hf = (f*L*V^2)/(2*D*g)

The energy equation for this system will be,

Hp = Z + Hf

The other three equations to solve the above equations are:

Re = (rho*V*D)/ μ

Flow Rate, Q = V*(pi/4)*D^2

Power = 15000 W = rho*g*Q*Hp

1/f^0.5 = 2*log ((Re*f^0.5)/2.51)

We can iterate the 5 equations to find f and solve them to find the values of:

Re = 235000

f = 0.015

V = 1.97 m/s

And use them to find the flow rate,

Q = V*(pi/4)*D^2

Q = (1.97)*(pi/4)*(0.12)^2 = 0.022 m^3/s = 80 m^3 /hours

A baseball thrown at an angle of 60.0° above the horizontal strikes a building 16.0 m away at a point 8.00 m above the point fro

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

a) $v_{o} =16m/s$

b) $v=9.8m/s$

c) $\beta =-35.46º$

Explanation:

From the exercise we know that the ball strikes the building 16m away and its final height is 8m more than the initial

Being said that, we can calculate the initial velocity of the ball

a) First we analyze its horizontal motion

$x=v_{ox}t$

$x=v_{o}cos(60)t$

$v_{o}=\frac{x}{tcos(60)}=\frac{16m}{tcos(60)}$ (1)

That would be our first equation

Now, we need to analyze its vertical motion

$y=y_{o}+v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$y_{o}+8=y_{o}+v_{o}sin(60)t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2$

Knowing $v_{o}$ in our first equation (1)

$8=\frac{16}{tcos(60)}sin(60)t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2$

$\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2=16tan(60)-8$

Solving for t

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2(16tan(60)-8)}{9.8} } =2s$

So, the ball takes to seconds to get to the other building. Now we can calculate its <u>initial velocity</u>

$v_{o}=\frac{16m}{(2s)cos(60)}=16m/s$

b) To find the <u>magnitude of the ball just before it strikes the building</u> we need to calculate its x and y components

$v_{x}=v_{ox}+at=16cos(60)=8m/s$

$v_{y}=v_{oy}+gt=16sin(60)-(9.8)(2)=-5.7m/s$

So, the magnitude of the velocity is:

$v=\sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2}}=\sqrt{(8m/s)^2+(-5.7m/s)^2}=9.8m/s$

c) The <u><em>direction of the ball</em></u> is:

$\beta=tan^{-1}(\frac{v_{y} }{v_{x}})=tan^{-1}(\frac{-5.7}{8})=-35.46º$

A 2530-kg test rocket is launched vertically from the launch pad. Its fuel (of negligible mass) provides a thrust force so that

gavmur [86]

Answer:

A = 1.4 m/s²

B = -0.10493 m/s³

a = 1.29507 m/s²

T = 28095.8271 N

T = 1.13198 W

Explanation:

t = Time taken

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

The equation

$v(t)=At+Bt^2$

Differentiating with respect to time

$\frac{dv}{dt}=\frac{d(At+Bt^2)}{dt}\\\Rightarrow 1.4=A+2Bt$

At t = 0

$1.4=A$

Hence, A = 1.4 m/s²

$B=\frac{v-At}{t^2}\\\Rightarrow B=\frac{2.18-1.4\times 1.8}{1.8^2}\\\Rightarrow B=-0.10493\ m/s^3$

B = -0.10493 m/s³

At t = 5 seconds

$a=1.4+2\times -0.010493\times 5=1.29507\ m/s^2$

a = 1.29507 m/s²

$T=m(a+g)\\\Rightarrow T=2530(1.29507+9.81)\\\Rightarrow T=28095.8271\ N$

T = 28095.8271 N

Weight of rocket

$W=2530\times 9.81=24819.9\ N$

$\frac{T}{W}=\frac{28095.8271}{24819.9}\\\Rightarrow \frac{T}{W}=1.13198\\\Rightarrow T=1.13198W$

T = 1.13198 W
