An object is dropped from the top of a building and is observed to take 7. 2s to hit the ground. How tall is the building?.
1 answer:
the height of the building is H=36 m.
<h3>What is The Law of Gravity?</h3>According to Newton's law of gravity, every particle of matter in the universe is attracted to every other particle with a force that varies directly as the product of their masses and inversely as their distance from one another.
Properties of Gravity -
- It is a universal attractive force. It is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the two bodies.
- It obey inverse square law.
- It is the weakest force known in nature.
Examples of Gravity -
- The force that holds the gases in the sun.
- The force that causes a ball you throw in the air to come down again.
- The force that causes a car to coast downhill even when you aren't stepping on the gas.
v₀=0 m/s
H₀=0 m
g=10 m/s²
t=7,2 s
H - ?
H = 0 +0 × 7.2 + 10(7.2)²/2
H = 36m

Answer:
b) Betelgeuse would be times brighter than Sirius
c) Since Betelgeuse brightness from Earth compared to the Sun is the statement saying that it would be like a second Sun is incorrect
Explanation:
The start brightness is related to it luminosity thought the following equation:
(1)
where is the brightness,
is the star luminosity and
, the distance from the star to the point where the brightness is calculated (measured). Thus:
b) and
where
is the Sun luminosity (
) but we don't need to know this value for solving the problem.
is light years.
Finding the ratio between the two brightness we get:
c) we can do the same as in b) but we need to know the distance from the Sun to the Earth, which is . Then
Notice that since the star luminosities are given with respect to the Sun luminosity we don't need to use any value a simple states the Sun luminosity as the unit, i.e 1. From this result, it is clear that when Betelgeuse explodes it won't be like having a second Sun, it brightness will be 5 orders of magnitude smaller that our Sun brightness.
