Calculate two stars appear to you to have the same brightness. if star a is 7.00 light-years away from you, while star b is 15.0

0 light-years away, how many times more luminous is star b than star a?

It is eight times more than the star A.

<h3>What is luminosity and on which it depends?</h3>

The luminosity of an object is a measure of its intrinsic brightness and is defined as the amount of energy the object emits in a fixed time.

luminousity depends upon the two factors are:

1) The star's actual brightness

Some stars are naturally more luminous than others ,so the brightness level from one star to next star is significantly different.

2) The star distance from us

The more distance of an object the dimmer it appears.

Energy emitted = sAT⁴

where s is stefan constant

A is surface area and T is temperature .

distance to the star Betelgeuse: 640 ly

As we know that

$1 ly = 63000 AU$

also we know that

$1AU = 1.5 \times 10^8 km$

$1 ly = 63000 (1.5 \times 10^8) = 9.45 \times 10^{12} km$

So the distance of Betelgeuse = 640 ly

$d_1 = 640 \times 9.45 \times 10^{12} = 6.05 \times 10^{15} m$

distance to the star VY Canis Majoris: $3.09 × 10^8 AU$

$d_2 = 3.09\times 10^8 \times 1.5 \times 10^8 km$

$d_2 = 4.64 \times 10^{16} km$

distance to the galaxy Large Magellanic Cloud: 49976 pc

$1 pc = 3.262 ly = 3.262 \times 9.45 \times 10^{12} km$

$1pc = 3.08 \times 10^{13} km$

now we have

$d_3 = 49976 \times 3.08 \times 10^{13}$

$d_3 = 1.54 \times 10^{18} km$

distance to Neptune at the farthest: 4.7 billion km

$d_4 = 4.7 \times 10^9 km$

now the order of distance from least to greatest is as following

1. distance to Neptune at the farthest

2. distance of Betelgeuse

3. distance to the star VY Canis Majoris

4. distance to the galaxy Large Magellanic Cloud

When a mass of 0.350 kg is attached to a vertical spring and lowered slowly, the spring stretches 12.0 cm. The mass is now displ

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The period is $T = 0.700 \ s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass is $m = 0.350 \ kg$

The extension of the spring is $x = 12.0 \ cm = 0.12 \ m$

The spring constant for this is mathematically represented as

$k = \frac{F}{x}$

Where F is the force on the spring which is mathematically evaluated as

$F = mg = 0.350 * 9.8$

$F =3.43 \ N$

So

$k = \frac{3.43 }{ 0.12}$

$k = 28.583 \ N/m$

The period of oscillation is mathematically evaluated as

$T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

substituting values

$T = 2 * 3.142* \sqrt{\frac{0.35 }{28.583} }$

$T = 0.700 \ s$

If C is 1kg and D is 100kg, and the initial velocities of both balls are 5m/s, how would the magnitude of the forces exerted by

kupik [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

The forces exerted by each mass is best understood in terms of their momentum.

Momentum is a sort of compelling force or impulse. It is given as:

Momentum = mass x velocity

Let us consider the momentum of the balls;

Substance C;

Mass = 1kg

Velocity = 5m/s

Momentum of C = 1 x 5 = 5kgm/s

Substance D:

Mass = 100kg

Velocity = 5m/s

Momentum of D = 100kg x 5m/s = 500kgm/s

Body D has a higher momentum compared to Body C. This suggests that body D will exert a higher force than C when they collide.

The higher the momentum, the more the force of impact it has.

jonny [76]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The change in momentum of x has to be the opposite of the change in momentum of Y because the momentum is just transferred from one to another. But I'm still trying to figure it out how to calculate.
