I didn't think red shift was in the syllabus.. maybe I'm wrong but I don't remember learning about it in class. I think that's in the yr11 syllabus.

i will print shot the balloon experiment for you guys so you can see for yourself.

Hey, can anyone tell me if iron nails rust faster in water or salt water?

Second. We didn't learn it in class, nor did i see that in my text book.

red shift was evidence for the expanding universe theory

 

[zannasheayarrow]

Red shift is evidence not a theory in itself. We did the experiment as well... Red shift is the doppler effect - red shift is based on the absorption of helium. The more red shifted the light the further away the star.

Is expanding universe theory same as Big Bang?

Yep. I think a lot of schools would be learning extra content rather than just the BOS stuff (my school does a a bit extra but not much) and so you guys are probs just already doing some yr11 work.

Yeah I put galaxies + red shift for that question too (Hope that's right!). I second that lightbulb one, what was the answer? :\

 

[starryblue]

umm...guys, the science test is over so chill...good luck for maths/history and geo tomoz!

Salt water - think about erosion near the sea.

The big bang theory is that the universe started as a singularity etc. the expanding universe theory is that the universe is still expanding at an increased rate.

 

[RealiseNothing]

Red shift and expanding universe are both right

How is erosion related to rusting? Erosion needs no oxygen...

I think he meant corrosion.

I think the the big bang is different as it was the theory saying the universe began from a singularity while the expanding universe theory suggests that galaxies will continue to move apart and there was only one big bang. (The other theory was pulsating/oscillating universe theory)

 

[RealiseNothing]

I thought the nail one was the test tube with water and oil?

 

[girlworld_club]

lol. wtf? it has nothing to do with erosion, but the answer is salt water.

Balloon and dots one:

Galaxies
Red Shift

You can't just say red shift, It asked for "Which theory is being represented by the balloon expanding?" red shift isn't a theory, it was Galaxies and the Inflationary model of the big bang theory

Yes, SHE did. I realised my mistake after sending the message.
