For  a star that has the same apparent brightness as Alpha Centauri A ( 2.7×10−8watt/m2 is mathematically given as

L=2.7*10^30w

<h3> What is its luminosity?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the luminosity  is mathematically given as

L=4*\pi^2*b

Therefore

L=4*\pi^2*b

L=4* \pi *(2.83*10^{18})*2.7*10^{-8}

L=2.7*10^30

In conclusion, the luminosity

L=2.7*10^30w

A proton moves from a location where V = 87 V to a spot where V = -40 V. (a) What is the change in the proton's kinetic energy?
Art [367]

Answer: a) 127 eV; b) there is no change of kinetic energy.

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use the change of potentail energy ( conservative field) is equal to changes in kinetic energy. So for the proton ther move to lower potential then they gain kinetic energy from the electric field.  This means the electric force do work in this trayectory and then the protons increased changes its speed.

If we replace the proton by a electron we have a very different situaction, the electrons are located in a lower potental then  they can not move to higher potential  if any  external force does work on the system.

In resumem, the electrons do not move from a point with V=87 to other point with V=-40 V. The electric force point to high potential so the electrons  can not move to lower potential region (V=-40V).

What is the difference between a bar magnet and an electromagnet? (check all that are
lukranit [14]

Answer:

D and A

Explanation:

Hint The basic difference between them is that a bar magnet is a permanent magnet whereas an electromagnet is a temporary magnet. An electromagnet is formed when an electric current is passed through wires wound around soft metalcore. An electromagnet loses its magnetism once the current flow is stopped.

How does the Coriolis effect influence the direction of the Trade Winds in the Northern Hemisphere? Does it have the same effect
scoray [572]

Answer:

Part A

Coriolis effect is used to describe how objects which are not fixed to the ground are deflected as they travel over long distances due to the rotation of the Earth relative to the 'linear' motion of the objects

Due to the Coriolis effect the wind flowing towards the Equator from high pressure belts in the subtropical regions in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres are deflected towards the western direction because the Earth rotates on its axis towards the east

Part B

In the Northern Hemispheres, the winds are known as northeasterly trade winds and in the Southern Hemisphere, they are known as the southeasterly trade wind. Therefore, Coriolis effect has the same effect on the direction of the Trade Winds in the Southern Hemisphere as it does in the Northern Hemisphere

Two boats - Boat A and Boat B - are anchored a distance of 24 meters apart. The incoming water waves force the boats to oscillat
ozzi

Answer:

wavelength = 24 m

Period = 10 s

f = 0.1 Hz

Amplitude = 4 m

Explanation:

Wavelength:

Since the boats are at crest and trough, respectively at the same time. Hence, the horizontal distance between them is the wavelength of the wave:

<u>wavelength = 24 m</u>  

Period:

The period is given as:

Period = \frac{time}{no.\ of\ cycles} \\\\Period = \frac{10\ s}{1}\\\\

<u>Period = 10 s</u>

<u></u>

Frequency:

The frequency is given as:

f = \frac{1}{time\ period}\\\\f = \frac{1}{10\ s}\\\\

<u>f = 0.1 Hz</u>

<u></u>

Amplitude:

Amplitude will be half the distance between extreme points, that is, crest and trough:

Amplitude = 8 m/2

<u>Amplitude = 4 m</u>
