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.

You drop a ball from a height of 2.0 m, and it bounces back to a height of 1.5 m. a) What fraction of its initial energy is lost
tangare [24]
The fraction of energy that is lost is 25%, it depends how fast the ball was going until it lost 25% of its energy, the gravitational energy was transferred into the kinetic energy that helped the ball bounce back

Two small children decide it would be fun to toss a couple of large cats at each other. Cat A (7kg) is thrown at 7m/s and cat B
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

V=4.7m/s

Explanations:

Let Ma mass of cat A=7kg

Va velocity of cat A=7m/s

Mb mass of cat b=6.1kg

VB velocity of cat b=2m/s

From conservation of linear momentum

MaVa+MbVb=(Ma+Mb)V

7*7+6.1*2=(7+6.1)V

61.2=13.1V

V=4.7m/s
