From laboratory measurements, we know that a particular spectral line formed by hydrogen appears at a wavelength of 121.6 nanometers (nm). The spectrum of a particular star shows the same hydrogen line appearing at a wavelength of 121.8 nm. What is the receding speed of the star? c = 3x10^5 km/s

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]v=-4.93\times 10^{5}~m/s[/tex] [negative sign denotes that it is moving away]

Explanation:

Actual wavelength of hydrogen spectral lines, [tex]\lambda=121.6~nm[/tex]

Apparent wavelength of hydrogen spectral lines from a star, [tex]\lambda'=121.8~nm[/tex]

So, shift in wavelength:

[tex]\Delta \lambda=\lambda'-\lambda[/tex]

[tex]\Delta \lambda=121.8-121.6[/tex]

[tex]\Delta \lambda=0.2~nm[/tex]

Using Doppler's shift:

[tex]\frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda} =-\frac{v}{c}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{0.2}{121.6} =-\frac{v}{3\times 10^8}[/tex]

[tex]v=-4.93\times 10^{5}~m/s[/tex] [negative sign denotes that it is moving away]

a body is moving along a circular path 'r'. what will be the distance and displacement of the body when it completed half a revolution?​

Answers

Answer: Displacement is the shortest distance travelled from the initial point to the final point. After half revolution the displacement is the length of the diameter which is equal to 2r. Hence the displacement is 2r.

After half of a revolution ...

A system of releases 125kJ of heat while 104kJ of work is done in the system. Calcilate the change om imternal energy (in kJ)

Answers

Answer:

DU = 21 KJ

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Quantity of heat = 125 KJ

Work = 104 KJ

To find the change in internal energy;

Mathematically, the change in internal energy of a system is given by the formula;

DU = Q - W

Where;

DU is the change in internal energy.

Q is the quantity of energy.

W is the work done.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

DU = 125 - 104

DU = 21 KJ

Why does An apple, potato, and onion all taste the same if you eat them with your nose plugged

Answers

It is very hard to distinguish between apple, pear and potato when they all look the same. Taking away the sense of smell then makes it even harder to distinguish between all three. The nose and mouth are connected through the same airway which means that you taste and smell foods at the same time.

Answers

Answer:

1. 12 V

2a. R₁ = 4 Ω

2b. V₁ = 4 V

3a. A = 1.5 A

3b. R₂ = 4 Ω

4. Diagram is not complete

Explanation:

1. Determination of V

Current (I) = 2 A

Resistor (R) = 6 Ω

Voltage (V) =?

V = IR

V = 2 × 6

V = 12 V

2. We'll begin by calculating the equivalent resistance. This can be obtained as follow:

Voltage (V) = 12 V

Current (I) = 1 A

Equivalent resistance (R) =?

V = IR

12 = 1 × R

R = 12 Ω

a. Determination of R₁

Equivalent resistance (R) = 12 Ω

Resistor 2 (R₂) = 8 Ω

Resistor 1 (R₁) =?

R = R₁ + R₂ (series arrangement)

12 = R₁ + 8

Collect like terms

12 – 8 =

4 = R₁

R₁ = 4 Ω

b. Determination of V₁

Current (I) = 1 A

Resistor 1 (R₁) = 4 Ω

Voltage 1 (V₁) =?

V₁ = IR₁

V₁ = 1 × 4

V₁ = 4 V

3a. Determination of the current.

Since the connections are in series arrangement, the same current will flow through each resistor. Thus, the ammeter reading can be obtained as follow:

Resistor 1 (R₁) = 4 Ω

Voltage 1 (V₁) = 6 V

Current (I) =?

V₁ = IR₁

6 = 4 × I

Divide both side by 4

I = 6 / 4

I = 1.5 A

Thus, the ammeter (A) reading is 1.5 A

b. Determination of R₂

We'll begin by calculating the voltage cross R₂. This can be obtained as follow:

Total voltage (V) = 12 V

Voltage 1 (V₁) = 6 V

Voltage 2 (V₂) =?

V = V₁ + V₂ (series arrangement)

12 = 6 + V₂

Collect like terms

12 – 6 = V₂

6 = V₂

V₂ = 6 V

Finally, we shall determine R₂. This can be obtained as follow:

Voltage 2 (V₂) = 6 V

Current (I) = 1.5 A

Resistor 2 (R₂) =?

V₂ = IR₂

6 = 1.5 × R₂

Divide both side by 1.5

R₂ = 6 / 1.5

R₂ = 4 Ω

Answers

Answer:

1. 45 m

2. 50 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 20 m/s

Time (t) = 3 s

1. Determination of the position (i.e height)

Time (t) = 3 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Height (h) =?

h = ½gt²

h = ½ × 10 × 3²

h = 5 × 9

h = 45 m

2. Determination of the velocity.

Initial velocity (u) = 20 m/s

Time (t) = 3 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Velocity (v) =?

v = u + gt

v = 20 + (10 × 3)

v = 20 + 30

v = 50 m/s

A train is travelling at 50 m s−1 when the driver applies the brakes and gives the train a constant deceleration of magnitude 0.50 m s−2 for 100 s. Describe what happens to the train. Calculate the distance travelled

Answers

Answer:

The strain will come to rest after traveling some distance.

distance traveled = 2500 m

Explanation:

The strain will come to rest after traveling some distance.

Applying,

s = ut+at²/2................... Equation 1

Given: u = initial velocity, a = deceleration, t = time, s = distance

From the question,

Given: u = 50 m/s, t = 100s, a = -0.5 m/s²(deceleration)

Substitute these values into equation 1

s = 50(100)+(-0.5)(100²)/2

s = 5000-2500

s = 2500 m

Hence the distance traveled is 2500 m

What are electromagnetic waves ?

Electromagnetic waves are associated with a combined electric field and magnetic field. They can pass through vacuum as well as through a medium. Unlike mechanical waves, all the electromagnetic waves are transverse waves.

The oscillation of particles is in the direction perpendicular to the wave propagation. There are 7 types of  radiations in the electromagnetic spectrum. The light we see is called visible light.

A cube of aluminum of mass 4kg is immersed totally in kerosene. It was found that 50g of kerosene was displaced, if the density of the kerosene is 13.5kg/m³, calculate the length and density of the aluminum cube​

Answers

The length and density of the aluminum cube​ is 15.46 cm and 1,081.1 kg/m³ respectively

Volume of the aluminum

The volume of the aluminum is equal to the weight of the kerosene displaced.

V = 0.05 kg / 13.5 kg/m³

V = 3.7 x 10⁻³ m³

Density of the aluminum

density = mass/volume

density = 4 kg / 3.7 x 10⁻³ m³

density = 1,081.1 kg/m³

Length of the aluminum

V = L³

L = ∛V

L = ∛(3.7 x 10⁻³)

L = 0.1546 m

L = 15.46 cm

The boiling point of a substance is _72 degree Celsius. This temperature will be equivalent to Kelvin scale is-------.

Answers

Answer:

345 K

Explanation:

Temperature can be defined as a measure of the degree of coldness or hotness of a physical object.

Generally, it is measured with a thermometer and its units are Celsius (°C), Kelvin (K) and Fahrenheit (°F).

Given the following data;

Boiling point = 72°C

To convert the temperature in degree Celsius to Kelvin, we would use the following mathematical expression;

Kelvin = 273 + °C

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Kelvin = 273 + 72

Kelvin = 345 K

Therefore, the temperature of 72°C will be equivalent to 345 K on the Kelvin scale.
