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.

Look at the diagram. Emily needs to complete the circuit. What two points should be connected to complete the circuit and make t

pogonyaev

Answer:

The points 2 and 4 should be connected.

Explanation:

To complete the circuit, we need to connect the two points which when connected, encompass the battery and the bulb in the circuit. The points 2 and 4 do the job, since they connect the terminal of the battery and the terminal of the bulb, and thus complete the circuit.

Therefore, the choice C is correct.

point) A circular swimming pool has a diameter of 12 m. The circular side of the pool is 3 m high, and the depth of the water is

Sergio [31]

Answer:

(a) 86.65 J

(b) 149.65 J

Solution:

As per the question:

Diameter of the pool, d = 12 m

⇒ Radius of the pool, r = 6 m

Height of the pool, H = 3 m

Depth of the pool, D = 2.5 m

Density of water, $\rho_{w} = 1000\ kg//m^{3}$

Acceleration due to gravity, g = $9.8\ m/s^{2}$

Now,

(a) Work done in pumping all the water:

Average height of the pool, h = $\frac{H + D}{2}$

h = $\frac{3 + 2.5}{2} = 2.75\ m$

Volume of water in the pool, V = $\pi r^{2}h = \pi \times 6^{2}\times 2.75 = 311.02\ m^{3}$

Mass of water, $m_{w} = \frac{\rho_{w}}{V}$

$m_{w} = \frac{1000}{311.02} = 3.215\ kg$

Work done is given by the potential energy of the water as:

$W = m_{w}gh = 3.215\times 9.8\times 2.75 = 86.65\ J$

(b) Work done to pump all the water through an outlet of 2 m:

Now,

Height, h = 2.75 + 2 = 4.75

Work done, $W = m_{w}gh = 3.215\times 9.8\times 4.75 = 149.65\ J$

kompoz [17]

we have to use newtons law of gravitation which is
F=GMm/r^2
G=6.67 x 10^<span>-11N kg^2/m^2
</span>M=<span>(15kg)
</span>m=15 kg
r=(3.0m)^2<span>
</span>putting values we have
<span>=(6.67 x 10^-11N kg^2/m^2)(15kg)(15kg)/(3.0m)^2 </span>
=1.67 x 10^-9N
