Q

What is a main piece of evidence of the big bang?(B)

Q

what is the cause of red shifting

A

as light flies through space which is expanding, that expanding actually stretches the light wavlengths out

Q

red shift vs Blue shift?

A

red shift occures when something is moving away from you, blue shift the opposite happens when something is moving towards you

Q

finding displacement from velocity time graph

A

you can add together intervals of time on the graph and the velocity of those points of time

17
Q

distance-time graph vs velocity-time graph

A

distance and time only deals with how far something went in that time velocity refers to that and the direction in which it went, meaning-a dog sled went twenty miles in 25 minutes and a car drove 30 miles in 16 minutes northwest gaining 30 ft in elevation.

18
Q

displacement from position formula

A

delta X= Xi -Xf

19
Q

average velocity formula

A

V ave=delta X/T

20
Q

displacement from velocity and time formula

A

deltaX=VT

21
Q

instantaneous vs average velocity

A

average velocity is just the displacement from one point to another in a certain amount of time while instantaneous velocity is the velocity of a point

22
Q

calculate acceleration given initial velocity and time

A

you divide ms/2 by meters

23
Q

calculate displacement given acceleration and time

A

s(displacement)=U(initial velocity)T(time)+1/2 at^2

24
Q

calculate velocity given acceleration and time

A

V(final velocity)=u(initial velocity)+at

25
Q

change in velocity

A

deltaV=Vt-Vi

26
Q

acceleration from change in velocity and time

A

a=deltaV/T

27
Q

calculate free fall height

A

height=1/2 g t^2

28
Q

calculate free fall height from free fall time

A

h=1/2 9.8m/s^2 time of free fall squared

29
Q

when starting from rest

A

deltaX=1/2 at^2

30
Q

effects of air resistance on object on free fall

A

air resistance lessens the effects of gravity on an object in free fall, slowing the object down
