Consider a spiral galaxy that is moving directly away from Earth with a speed V = 3.040×105 m/s at its center, as shown in the figure(Figure 1). The galaxy is also rotating about its center, so that points in its spiral arms are moving with a speed v = 6.650×105 m/s relative to the center. If light with a frequency of 8.213×1014 Hz is emitted in both arms of the galaxy, what frequency is detected by astronomers observing the arm...

The distance from the star S to the planet X is approximately 149,000,000 km. The distance from S to the planet Y is approximately 57,860,000 km. The elongation angle is the angle formed between the line of sight from X to S and the line of sight from X to Y. Suppose that the elongation angle is 13 degrees. Use this information to find the possible distances between X and Y. A) The larger distance from X to Y is...

Doppler Effect: 1. A stationary police officer using a speed “radar detector” sends a signal with a frequency of 100,000 Hz. The speed of sound is 340 m/s. What is the wavelength of the (ultra) sound wave produced by the detector? The sound wave reflects off a vehicle moving toward the officer. How does the frequency of the reflected sound wave (as recorded by the detector) compare to the original sound wave? 2. The light waves from a distance start...

A 2-kg object is moving east at 9 m/s when it collides with a 8-kg object that is initially at rest. After the completely elastic collision, the larger object moves east at 1 m/s. Find the final velocity of the smaller object after the collision. (East is defined as positive. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) m/s

A 740-kg two-stage rocket is traveling at a speed of 6.40×10^3 m/s away from Earth when a predesigned explosion separates the rocket into two sections of equal mass that then move with a speed of 2.30×10^3 m/s relative to each other along the original line of motion. Part A: What is the speed of each section (relative to Earth) after the explosion? Part B: What are the direction of each section (relative to Earth) after the explosion? a) both away...

A distant galaxy is simultaneously rotating and receding from the earth. As the drawing shows, the galactic center is receding from the earth at a relative speed of uG = 1.60 × 106 m/s. Relative to the center, the tangential speed is vT = 0.580 × 106 m/s for locations A and B, which are equidistant from the center. When the frequencies of the light coming from regions A and B are measured on earth, they are not the same...
