Suppose that you'd like to find out if a distant star is moving relative to the earth. The star is much too far away to detect any change in its brightness as it moves toward or away from the earth. Instead we can use the Doppler effect to determine its relative speed. For this problem we are going to look at the spectral lines from hydrogen, specifically the one with a wavelength of 656.46 nm. Suppose that you measure the light of a star between 640 and 680 nm and you get a very strong peak around 650 nm. What can you say about the star's motion? Please provide a detailed explanation.

Imagine you are riding on a yacht in the ocean and traveling at 20 mph. you then hit a golf ball at 100 mph from the deck of the yacht. you see the ball move away from you at 100mph, while a person standing on a near by beach would observe your golf ball traveling at 120 mph (20 mph + 100 mph). now imagine you are aboard the hermes spacecraft traveling at 0.1c (1/10 the speed of light) past mars and shine a laser from the front of the ship. you would see the light traveling at c (the speed of light) away from your ship. according to einstein’s special relativity, how fast will a person on mars observe the light to be traveling? a) 0.1c (1/10 the speed of light) b) c (the speed of light) c)1.1c (c+0.1c)

Selma made a diagram to compare convection and radiation. which label belongs in the area marked x? must involve temperature differences between substances or objects only occurs when molecules are in direct contact involves the movement of fluids based on density differences can occur where there is little or no matter

Two cannon balls weighing 18 kg and 24 kg are chained together and fired horizontally with a velocity of 165 m/s from the top of a 21-m wall. the chain breaks during the flight of the cannonballs and the 18-kg cannonball strikes the ground at t = 1.5 s, at a distance of 240 m from the foot of the wall, and 7 m to the right of the line of fire. determine the position of the other cannonball at that instant. neglect the resistance of the air.
