Answer:
The separation between Earth and the star is growing.
Explanation:
When we witness the electromagnetic radiation of an object shifting towards the blue spectrum, it indicates that the object is moving closer, which compresses the light waves and decreases the wavelength towards blue, referred to as blueshift.
Conversely, when an object retreats from us rapidly, its light waves are stretched, resulting in a longer wavelength that shifts towards the red part of the spectrum. This shift is termed redshift.
The alteration of wavelength and frequency due to relative motion (approaching or receding) is explained by the Doppler effect.
In this case, since the light we detect from the star has transitioned to the red part of the spectrum, we can infer that it is moving away from Earth, indicating that the distance between the star and Earth is increasing.

Clarification:
The force between two charges, q₁ and q₂ at a distance d is represented by the formula
F = k q₁ q₂ / d²
Here, the force between charge q₁ = -15 x 10⁻⁹ C and q₃ = 47 x 10⁻⁹ C with distance d = (1.66 - 1.24) = 0.42 mm
k = 1 / (4π x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²)
Substituting the values into the equation
F = 1 / (4π x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²) x -15 x 10⁻⁹ x 47 x 10⁻⁹ / (0.42 x 10⁻³)²
= 9 x 10⁹ x -15 x 10⁻⁹ x 47 x 10⁻⁹ / (0.42 x 10⁻³)²
= 35969.4 x 10⁻³ N.
For the force between charge q₂ = 34.5 x 10⁻⁹ C and q₃ = 47 x 10⁻⁹ C at a distance d = (1.24 - 0) = 1.24 mm.
Substituting the values into the expression
F = 1 / (4π x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²) x 34.5 x 10⁻⁹ x 47 x 10⁻⁹ / (0.42 x 10⁻³)²
= 9 x 10⁹ x -34.5 x 10⁻⁹ x 47 x 10⁻⁹ / (0.42 x 10⁻³)²
= 82729.6 x 10⁻³ N
Both forces direct towards the left (away from the origin, towards the negative x-axis)
Total force = 118699 x 10⁻³
= 118.7 N.
Mike will get an electric shock. Explanation: The human body acts as a conductor of electricity. When lightning strikes the rod, it acquires a negative charge and immediately discharges this charge when contacting the ground through conductive materials. As a result, Mike is likely to endure a significant electric shock as the negative charge travels through his body to the other rod and into the ground, potentially leading to numbness or even loss of consciousness.
Inertia is universally present. It's important to note that inertia doesn't serve as the force keeping objects in circular paths; that role belongs to centripetal force, which is not always present. Centripetal force actively pulls objects towards the center of a circle. Both inertia and centripetal force contribute to the phenomenon of circular motion. Thank you, and enjoy your day;)
The correct measurement should actually be from student 1: 9.87 m/s², rather than 9.78.
