Since I'm assuming that its perfectly elastic, considering there's not enough information given, so I think that no energy is dissipated in the collision
hmax = h - d + { [ mpvp - mb√(2gd) ] / (mp+mb) }² / (2g)
Answer:
The distance between the earth and the star is increasing.
Explanation:
When we observe an object and its electromagnetic radiation has been displaced to blue, it means that it is getting closer to us, causing the light waves it emits to get closer together and its wavelength to decrease towards blue, this is knowm as blueshift.
On the contrary, when an object is rapidly moving away from us, the light waves or electromagnetic radiation it emits have been stretched from their normal wavelength to a longer wavelength, towards the red part of the spectrum. This is known as redshift.
This phenomenon of changes in wavelength and frequency due to movement (whether the source approaches or moves away) is described by the Doppler effect.
So for this case because the light we perceive from the star has moved to the red part of the visible spectrum, we can conclude that it is moving away from the earth, and that the distance between the star and the earth is increasing.
Explanation:
It is known that relation between kinetic energy and temperature is as follows.
Hence, kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature.
Thermal energy is defined as the energy present within the molecules of an object due to the motion of particles. Basically, thermal energy is internal energy of an object.
Thus, we can conclude that:
- Temperature and kinetic energy are directly proportional.
- Heat is a measure of thermal energy.
- Temperature is proportional to the total kinetic energy.
Answer:
0.4 ohms.
Explanation:
From the circuit,
The voltage reading in the voltmeter = voltage drop across each of the parallel resistance.
1/R' = 1/R1+1/R2
R' = (R1×R2)/(R1+R2)
R' = (2.4×1.2)/(2.4+1.2)
R' = 2.88/3.6
R' = 0.8 ohms.
Hence the current flowing through the circuit is
I = V'/R'................ Equation 1
Where V' = voltmeter reading
I = 6/0.8
I = 7.5 A
This is the same current that flows through the variable resistor.
Voltage drop across the variable resistor = 9-6 = 3 V
Therefore, the resistance of the variable resistor = 3/7.5
Resistance = 0.4 ohms.
Answer: force of gravity on the body due to height difference above the earth's surface
Explanation: as you increase the height of a body above ground, you do work against gravity in moving it from a point on the earth's surface to that point. So a body falling has a stored up gravito-potential energy which acts on it downward due to its mass, accelerating it downwards
Answer b): kinetic energy of the body
Explanation: the downward force produces an acceleration of magnitude 9.81m/s2 downwards which means an increasing velocity. This increasing velocity means the kinetic energy of the body is increasing (kinetic energy is proportional to velocity of the body squared)
