Which is brighter in our sky, a star with apparent magnitude 2 or a star with apparent magnitude 7?

Physics

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.

What is the initial vertical velocity?
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Thus, any projectile that has an initial vertical velocity of 21.2 m/s and lands 10.0 m below its starting altitude spends 3.79 s in the air.The initial vertical velocity is the vertical component of the initial velocity: v 0 y = v 0 sin θ 0 = ( 30.0 m / s ) sin 45 ° = 21.2 m / s .

What is the restoring force of a spring with a spring constant of 4a and a stretched displacement of 3b? A. –7 ab B. `-7 a/b ` C
algol13

Answer:

C. -12 ab

Explanation:

The restoring force on a spring is given by Hooke's law:

F=-kx

where

k is the spring constant

x is the stretched (or compressed) displacement of the spring

In this problem we have:

k = 4a

x = 3b

Substituting into the equation, we find:

F=-(4a)(3b) = -12 ab

And the negative sign means that the direction of the force (negative) is opposite to the direction of the displacement (positive).

What is the weight of an object with a mass of 6.0 kg on Earth?
gregori [183]
<h2>since weight is measured in newtons, convert the 6 kg to newtons</h2><h3>the formula to convert is kg x 9.807 = N</h3>
  • 6 x 9.807
  • = 58.842 N

hope that helps :))

How do quantum numbers relate to electrons?<br> please explain?
alukav5142 [94]
Quantum numbers<span> allow us to both simplify and dig deeper into electron configurations. Electron configurations allow us to identify energy level, subshell, and the number of electrons in those locations. If you choose to go a bit further, you can also add in x,y, or z subscripts to describe the exact orbital of those subshells (for example </span><span>2<span>px</span></span>). Simply put, electron configurations are more focused on location of electrons then anything else. 
<span>
Quantum numbers allow us to dig deeper into the electron configurations by allowing us to focus on electrons' quantum nature. This includes such properties as principle energy (size) (n), magnitude of angular momentum (shape) (l), orientation in space (m), and the spinning nature of the electron. In terms of connecting quantum numbers back to electron configurations, n is related to the energy level, l is related to the subshell, m is related to the orbital, and s is due to Pauli Exclusion Principle.</span>
