The star with apparent magnitude 2 is more brighter than 7.

To find the answer, we have to know about apparent magnitude.

<h3>What is apparent magnitude?</h3>
  • 100 times as luminous as a star with an apparent brightness of 7 is a star with a magnitude of 2.
  • The apparent magnitude of bigger stars is always smaller.
  • The brightest star in the night sky is Sirius.
  • The brightness of a star or other celestial object perceived from Earth is measured in apparent magnitude (m).
  • The apparent magnitude of an object is determined by its inherent luminosity, its distance from Earth, and any light extinction brought on by interstellar dust in the path of the observer's line of sight.

Thus, we can conclude that, the star with apparent magnitude 2 is more brighter than 7.

A ______ is a network that has all connected devices located in the same physical location.
Dafna11 [192]
<span>The answer is Local Area Network (LAN). Examples of LANs, are those in workplaces, libraries, and universities. The nodes are connected and share common resources over a WiFi, Ethernet network, Token rings, and etcetera. The opposite of LAN is a Wide Area Network (WAN) that covers a wide geographical area.</span>

What happens when you compress a gas?
8090 [49]
The density increases.
When gases are compressed, their volume decreases, and the resulting pressure increases. The temperature will change if either P or V are held constant. Since the volume decreases, then density, or m/V, increases.
P×V ~ T

Identify each picture as either an inelastic collision or elastic collision
Ivan

Answer:

<u>Inelastic collision:</u>

A collision in which there is a loss of Kinetic Energy due to internal friction of the bodies colliding.

<u>Characteristics of an inelastic collision:</u>

  • <em>the momentum of the system is conserved</em>
  • <em>the momentum of the system is conservedloss of kinetic energy</em><u> </u>

<em>I</em><em>n</em><em> </em><em>a perfectly elastic collision</em><em>, the two bodies </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>collide with each other stick together.</em>

<u>Elastic </u><u>collision</u><u>:</u>

A collision in which the kinetic energy of the two bodies, before and after the collision, remains the same.

<u>Characteristic</u><u>s</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>elastic</u><u> </u><u>collision</u><u>:</u>

  • <em>the</em><em> </em><em>momentum</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>system</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>conserved</em>
  • <em>no</em><em> </em><em>loss</em><em> </em><em>o</em><em>f</em><em> </em><em>kinetic</em><em> </em><em>energy</em>

In everyday life, no collision is perfectly elastic.

ANSWER:

<u>Given examples:</u>

  • Two cars colliding with each other form an example of inelastic collision.

<u>Reason:</u>

<em>(</em><em>T</em><em>hey</em><em> </em><em>lose</em><em> </em><em>kinetic</em><em> </em><em>energy</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>come</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>stop</em><em> </em><em>after</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>collision</em><em>.</em><em>)</em>

  • A ball bouncing after colliding with a surface is an example of elastic collision

<u>Reason:</u>

<em>(a very less amount of kinetic energy is lost)</em>
