The star is moving away from our planet. To elaborate on the Doppler shift: This phenomenon, related to the Doppler effect, is the variation in the perceived frequency or wavelength (color) of a wave when the source of the waves and the observer are in motion relative to one another. Consequently, it can be inferred that as an object recedes, it exhibits more redshift in its spectrum. For instance, when a star moves away, its spectral lines shift towards the red end of the spectrum, whereas if it approaches Earth, the spectral lines move towards blue. Given that the peak wavelength is roughly 650 nm—which is associated with red—it can be concluded that the star is indeed moving away from Earth.

Two pickup trucks each have a mass of 2,000 kg. The gravitational force between the trucks is 3.00 × 10-5 N. One pickup truck is

The new gravitational force would be calculated as follows: Consider the general formula for the gravitational force between two masses m1 and m2 that are separated by a distance "d". For the two trucks weighing 2,000 kg each, the gravitational force is initially 3.00 × 10-5 N. When one truck is loaded with an additional 1,000 kg of bricks, we need to determine the new gravitational force (x). We find this by dividing the last equation by the original to eliminate common factors (G, d^2).

Answer:

V_B - V_A = 600 Volts

Explanation:

Given that the charge starts from rest and at point B has gained kinetic energy K = 4.8 J

we can apply the principle of conservation of mechanical energy, indicating that the increase in kinetic energy equals the reduction in electrostatic potential energy.

Thus, we can represent this as

U_B + KE = U_A

KE = U_A - U_B

4.8 = (-8 mC)(V_A - V_B)

4.8 = (8 \times 10^{-3})(V_B - V_A)

V_B - V_A = 600 Volts
