Doppler Shift......The wavelength of light emitted by a moving object is shifted. This effect is called the Doppler shift.

The question also reveals a poor understanding of 'moving'. Each object is it's own 'rest frame', and can only be moving with respect to something else specified, representing another rest frame.

For the purposes of real motion (and maximum speed c, including for the propagation of em waves) the reference is always the local background (frame).

(If you are timing a car go past at max speed v, then you accelerate to v', it does not mean the car can suddenly do v+v'!, so the speed is not with respect to anything except it's local background.)

The Special Theory of Relativity was valid for space that was empty (a perfect vacuum) and bodies that were perfectly rigid. We know know space is not empty and bodies are not rigid, but no other more valid or consistent theory has yet been adopted.

What two factors determine the kinetic energy of moving object?

velocity and mass


What happens when scientists add heat energy to an object or take heat energy away from an object?

When scientists add heat energy to an object, the particles in the object gain kinetic energy, causing them to move faster and increasing the object's temperature. When heat energy is taken away from an object, the particles lose kinetic energy, moving slower, and decreasing the object's temperature.


Movement of an all object is compared with a?

The movement of an object is compared with a reference point or frame of reference to determine its speed, velocity, and acceleration. This comparison helps to understand the object's motion relative to a fixed point or another moving object.


How does light determine the age of object in the universe?

Light from distant objects in the universe allows scientists to determine the age of those objects based on the time it takes for the light to reach us. The farther away an object is, the longer it takes for its light to travel to us, giving us a glimpse into the past. By measuring the redshift of the light, scientists can calculate the age of the object based on the expansion of the universe.


How do you know your Galaxy rotates?

Astronomers can determine the rotation of a galaxy by measuring the Doppler shift of the light emitted by stars and gas within the galaxy. The rotation speed can be calculated by observing the difference in wavelengths of light from objects moving towards or away from us. This information allows scientists to create maps of how the galaxy's stars and gas are moving.

How do scientists use isotopes to determine the of an object?

Scientists use the relative amount of stable and unstable isotopes in an object to determine its age.


What do the speed and dirction of a moving object determine for that object?

The speed and direction of a moving object determine its velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that describes both the speed and direction of motion of an object.

The surface area is the variable to determine how fast an object will be moving when it reaches terminal velocity.


What is the formula you use to determine the celebration of an object moving in a straight line?

To determine the celebration of an object moving in a straight line, you can use the formula for velocity, which is distance traveled divided by time taken. This will give you the rate at which the object is moving along the straight line.


How do scientists determine how old objects are by?

Archeologists determine how old an object is, by using Carbon Dating.


How do you determine the speed of a moving object?

The average speed of an moving object is determined by using the formula velocity=distance/time or v=d/t.


Is the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at a constant speed is constant?

determine if the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at constant speed is constant.


In order to determine if an object is moving you must observe the object in relation to a?

In order to determine if an object is moving, you must observe the object in relation to a fixed reference point, such as another object that is not moving or the observer's own frame of reference. This comparison allows you to see if the object is changing position relative to the reference point, indicating movement.


How can you tell if another object is moving and your also moving?

You can tell if another object is moving while you are also moving by observing changes in the position of the object relative to you over time. If the object's position changes relative to your position, it is likely moving, even if you are also in motion. Additionally, you can use external reference points or landmarks to determine if both you and the object are in motion.


What you compare something to in order to determine if an object is moving or stationary?

You can compare the object's position relative to a reference point or a fixed landmark to determine if it is moving or stationary. If the object is changing its position relative to the reference point over time, then it is moving. If its position remains constant with respect to the reference point, then it is stationary.
