Why is the redshift important?

The redshift is an important piece of evidence for the big bang theory. If we look at the visible region on the electromagnetic wave spectrum, we will see there is red light on the left and there is viole...

Using Newton's law of gravitation, derive a suitable formula for the escape velocity of an object at Earth's surface.

Newton's law of gravitation is;
F = GMm/(r2)
Where G is the Universal Gravitational constant, M is the mass of Earth, m is the mass of the object and r is the radius of Earth (no valu...

A small ball of mass 150 g is placed at a height of 20cm above the ground on an incline of 35°. It is released and allowed to roll down the slope; what will be the ball's speed when it reaches the ground? Assume friction and air resistance can be ignored.

This question is best solved using conservation of energy, since it is stated that friction and drag (non-conservative forces) can be ignored.When the ball is released at the top of the slope, its initial...
