    How Does the Doppler Shift Affect Observations of the Sun's Rotation?

    Homework Statement The Sun rotates with a period of 24.7 days and has a radius of 7.00 x 108 m. For a terrestrial observer, Calculate the resultant Doppler shift of light of wavelength 500 nm which is emitted from the solar equator at : i)each side of the disc, ii)the center of the solar disc...

    How Much Air Escapes from a Heated Compressed Air Cylinder?

    :redface: ooo my... that's embarrassing...i always end up doing extra work...or over thinking it...thanks soo much, followed your guidance and got M2 to be 18.67kg... by subtraction from 19 .. Mass escape worked out to be 0.33kg

    Thermal Conductivity and latent heat

    :biggrin: YAYYYYY i got!...geezeeee that was simple enough... ok this is what i did ...please let me kno if I am correct...although i think i am soo you said to start from the power i got in part (i) which was 1050 J/s Therefore for rate of flow of heat( which is power) dQ/dt =...

    Solving 0.02 kg Ice and 0.10 kg Water at 0°C to Melted State

    Well i was thinking in lines of finding out the heat required to raise the temperature of water in the container to 100 degrees celsius. since that will be the new temperature in the container when steam passes through ... finding that heat required for the change of water temperature, i added...
