Mira is much bigger than the Sun.

Only very massive stars will go through a supernova stage, causing the outer layer to explode away and the core to collapse in on itself, becoming very dense.

As the nuclear fusion within the core of Mira loses fuel the force pushing in on the core start to overwhelm the outward force. as this happens the star core becomes dense starts to fuse nuclei into heavier elements. once the star reaches iron, there is nothing left to fuse and the outward force suddenly gives way, therefore the gravitational force suddenly pulls the outer layers toward the center at high speeds, but once it is condensed against the iron core, the outer part essentially bounces off the iron core, shooting the outer layer of the star out into space in an explosion known as a supernova. our sun however, does not have enough pressure to fuse nuclei into iron. this means that the outward force of the star will actually be able to compensate for the gravitational force and as the star runs out of fuel, the star will compress and become denser fusing more nuclei, therefore pushing out with more force than the gravitational is pushing in. this means that instead if the star collapsing on itself it will grow until it uses up all its fuel, before it will slowly shrink until it completely dies out

Assume a satellite shines an unpolarized light on a telescope. The intensity of the light as it reaches the telescope is 1.1*10-

n200080 [17]

Answer:

$4.125\times 10^{-11}\ W/m^2$

Explanation:

$I_0$ = Intensity of unpolarized light = $1.1\times 10^{-10}\ W/m^2$

$\theta$ = Angle of the filter = $30^{\circ}$

Intensity of light is given by

$I=\dfrac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{1.1\times 10^{-10}}{2}cos^230\\\Rightarrow I=4.125\times 10^{-11}\ W/m^2$

The intensity of light detected by the camera is $4.125\times 10^{-11}\ W/m^2$

Mercury, a planet in our Solar System, and Callisto, a moon of the planet Jupiter, are about the same size. However, Mercury’s m

TiliK225 [7]

You may jump higher because the more the mass of the planet, the more gravitational force. There is less mass(and gravity) on Callisto so you wouldn’t be weighed down as much and can jump higher. Whereas on Jupiter there is more weight holding you down.

<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Question 7: </h2>

$\huge\text{Graphs:}$

The graph of

• The I-V for Ohmic Metal wire conductor at constant temperature always shows a straight line between the Current(I) plotted at Y axis and Voltage(V) plotted at X axis. Picture 1

• The I-V graph for Diode shows that first the current is zero but as we increase the potential difference(voltage), it results in the increase in the current. Picture 2

<h2>_____________________________________ </h2><h2>Question 8: </h2>

$\Large\textbf{Diode:}$

A diode is a device that allows current to flow in only one direction.

$\Large\textbf{Forward and Reverse Biasing:}$

Forward Bias, When a diode is forward bias (a voltage in the "forward" direction) then the P-side of the diode is attached to the positive terminal and N-side is fixed to the negative side of the battery which is connected, current flows freely through the device. The forward bias decreases the thickness of potential barrier(The potential barrier barrier in which the charge requires additional force for crossing the region)

Reverse Bias, When a diode is Reverse bias(a voltage in the "backward direction) then the P-side of the diode is connected to the negative terminal and N-side is connected to the positive terminal of the battery which is connected. The reverse bias increases the thickness of the potential barrier resulting in the flow of no current.

$\Large\textbf{Answer to the Question "Resistance"}$

The Forward bias decreases the resistance of the diode whereas the reversed bias increases the resistance of the diode. As in forward biasing the current is easily flowing through the circuit whereas reverse bias does not allow the current to flow through it.
