Describe what red shift is and why i provides evidence for the Big Bang Theory.

Red-shift is the increase in wavelength emitted from distant objects moving away from the observer, making them appear more red.The Big Bang Theory states that the universe began from a singularity which ...

A person swims from a depth of 0.50 m to a depth of 1.70 m below the surface of the sea. density of the sea water = 1030 kg/m^3 gravitational field strength = 9.8 N/kg Calculate the increase in pressure on the swimmer. Give the Unit.

ΔP = Δh ρ g
Δh = 1.7 - 0.5 = 1.2 m ρ = 1030 kg/m3g = 9.8 N/kg
ΔP = 1.2 (m) x 1030 (kg/m3) x 9.8 (N/kg)
= 12,112.8 N/m2 = 12,112.8 Pa

When the current through an ohmic conductor is 2A, the potential difference across it is 6V. What is the potential difference across the same ohmic conductor when the current is increased to 3A?

To answer this, you need to pick up on the clues in the question. "Ohmic conductor" is explicitly mentioned twice, so this is likely to be important. You should know that for ohmic conductors, p...
