You record the spectrum of a distant star using a telescope on the ground on Earth. Upon
analysing the spectrum, you discover absorption lines spaced at intervals typical of oxygen
atoms. Which of the following are possible interpretations of this evidence? Select all that
apply.
The width of the spectral lines gives the diameter of the star
The star is likely orbited by habitable planets with breathable atmospheres.
The height of the spectral lines above the star's general blackbody spectral curve tells us how much
oxygen is in the star
The atmosphere of Earth contains oxygen
The red or blueshift of the set of lines can tell us the speed of the star's motion toward or away from us
Please answer question numbers 7, 8 and 9.
The questions and answers are connected from each other.
The presence of Dark Matter was theorized due to the curve of the data that the motion of the stars around the central core of our neighboring galaxy (Andromeda) has been approximately flat rather than decreasing at large distances. Which fundamental concept in this chapter helped us in understanding this phenomena?
a.) Orbital speed
b.) Escape speed
c.) Law of equal areas
d.) Law of elliptical orbits
What happens to the magnitude of the force between two objects with the same mass if we double the distance between them?
a.) The magnitude of the force will be doubled.
b.) The magnitude of the force will be quadrupled.
c.) The magnitude of the force will be halved.
d.) The magnitude of the force will be 1/9 of its inital magnitude.e. E
