Most of the really bright stars in our sky are NOT among the stars that are very close to us. Why then do they look so bright to

us
Physics
1 answer:
Yanka [14]2 years ago

Answer:

stars will emit more light due to their Luminosity, so they look very bright.

Explanation:

Luminous refers to..,

  • The total amount of energy radiated by a star or other celestial object per second.
  • Therefore it is the power output of a star.

Most of the really bright stars in our sky are not that very close to us yet they look bright because of the Luminosity of the star.

These stars are intrinsically so luminous.

A star's power output across all wavelengths is called its bolometric luminosity.

A star with large luminosity will have more measure of radiated electromagnetic power meaning.

so it will emit more light than a low luminosity star.

Hence,

those stars can easily be seen even across great distance.

Two cars are traveling in the same direction down a highway at 65 miles per hour. What is the relative velocity of the second ca
Levart [38]

Answer:

5 hours

Explanation:

Let the required time be x hours. The time will be the same for both cars.

The cars will cover different distances because they are travelling at different speeds.

<em>D=S×T </em>

The distance travelled by the slower car = 50×x miles.

The distance travelled by the faster car = 58×x miles.

The two distances differ by 40 miles.

58x−50x=40

8x=40

x=5 hours

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A second method:

The difference in the distances is 40 miles

The difference in the speeds is #8mph.

The time to make up the 40 miles= \frac{40}{8}=5 hours

Statement A: Area of a rectangle with measured length = 2.536 mm and width = 1.4 mm.
pochemuha

Explanation:

Formula for calculating the area of a  rectangle A = Length *width

For statement A;

Given area of a rectangle with measured length = 2.536 mm and width = 1.4 mm.

Area of the rectangle = 2.536mm * 1.4mm

Area of the rectangle = 3.5504mm²

The rule of significant figures states that we should always convert the answer to the least number of significant figure amount the given value in question. Since 1.4mm has 2 significant figure, hence we will convert our answer to 2 significant figure.

Area of the rectangle = 3.6mm² (to 2sf)

For statement B;

Given area of a rectangle with measured length = 2.536 mm and width = 1.41 mm.

Area of the rectangle = 2.536mm * 1.41mm

Area of the rectangle = 3.57576mm²

Similarly, Since 1.41mm has 3 significant figure compare to 2.536 that has 4sf, hence we will convert our answer to 3 significant figure.

Area of the rectangle = 3.58mm² (to 3sf)

Based on the conversion, it can be seen that 3.6mm²  is greater than 3.58mm², hence the area of rectangle in statement A is greater than the area of the rectangle in statement B.
