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.

Mass (kg) force (n) 5 25 10 50 15 75 20 100 a student was trying to find the relationship between mass and force. he placed four different masses on a table and pulled them using a spring scale. the table shows the different masses used in the experiment and the force required to pull each mass. the student concluded that more force was required to pull heavier objects. what comment would you make regarding his conclusion? a) no clear relation can be observed between mass and force from the data. b) there is a direct proportion between the mass and force listed in the table. c) gravity should have been taken into account while performing the experiment. d) there is an inverse proportion between the mass and force listed in the table.
