The <u>apparent magnitude</u> of a star refers to its brightness as seen from your eyes and <u>absolute magnitude</u> being the actual brightness of a star.

<h3>What is magnitude?</h3>

Magnitude can be defined as a unitless measure which is used to show the brightness of an object in comparison with the brightness of another object.

Basically, there are two types of magnitude and these include the following:

  • Apparent magnitude
  • Absolute magnitude

In conclusion, the <u>apparent magnitude</u> of a star refers to its brightness as seen from your eyes and <u>absolute magnitude</u> being the actual brightness of a star.

When two or more capacitors are connected in series across a potential difference:
34kurt

Answer:

A) and B) are correct.

Explanation:

Let's take a look at the attached picture. Now

The total voltage across both capacitors is the same as the sum of the voltage from each device, that statement is true for any electrical device connected in series. So a) is TRUE

The equivalent capacitance is going to be: \frac{1}{C_{total}}=\frac{1}{C_1} +\frac{1}{C_2}

And that value can be mathematically proven that is always less than any of the values of each capacitor. So b is TRUE

And through both capacitors flow the same current, but the amount of charge depends on the value of the capacitors, so only could be the same if the capacitors are the same value. Otherwise, don't. C) not always, so FALSE

A student at a window on the second floor of a dorm sees her physics professor walking on the sidewalk beside the building. she
klasskru [66]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

In order for the balloon to strike the professor's head, th balloon should drop by 18 - 1.7 = 16.3 m in the time at the professor takes to walk 1 m.
The time for the professor to walk 1 m is
t = (1 m)/(0.45 m/s) = 2.2222 s

The initial vertical velocity of the balloon is zero.
The vertical drop of the balloon in 2.2222 s is
h = (1/2)*(9.8 m/s²)*(2.2222 s)² = 24.197 m

Because 24.97 > 16.3, the balloon lands in front of the professor, and does not hit the professor.

The time for the balloon to hit the ground is
(1/2)*(9.8)*t² = 18
t = 1.9166 s

The time difference is 2.2222 - 1.9166 = 0.3056 s
Within this time interval, the professor travels 0.45*0.3056 = 0.175 m
Therefore the balloon falls 0.175 m in front of the professor.

Answer: 
The balloon misses the professor, and falls 0.175 m in front of the professor.

A hollow conductor is positively charged. Asmall uncharged metal ball is lowered by a silk thread through asmall opening in the
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to the property of a conductor, the entire charge will reside on the outer surface of the conductor, there is no charge on the inner side of the conductor. As the uncharged metal ball touches the inner surface of the conductor, it does not attain any charge as the inner side of the conductor has no charge.

So option (c) is correct.

You are given five transparent objects: a calcite crystal, a diamond, a piece of window glass, a sample of quartz, and a piece o
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The calcite Crystal can be identified by carrying out an acid test on it. This is done by bringing it in contact with a weak acid which cause crack in it structure. Hence a little of carbondioxide gas is released.

Since diamond is the hardest object,it can be identified on a Mohs scale. Likewise it can be tested by bringing it in contact with a newspaper, if the letters on the paper are not seen, that shows it is a pure diamond.

Window glass is identified by the code on it.

While Quartz Crystal is identified by scratch test. When it is used to scratch all other softer stones and metal, it leaves mark on them.
