Answer:
i) 0.7
ii) 1.39
iii) 0.6
Next time, when compiling a Physics question, ensure you put the unit of each measurement.
Explanation:
i) T = time of flight =
where u = speed = 4, A = 60 and g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 (It is a constant);
Subsituting the values, we have: T = = 0.7
ii) distance travel = Range = R =
where u = speed = 4, A = 60 and g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 (It is a constant);
Subsituting values, we have: R = = 1.39
iii) Maximum Height = H =
where u = speed = 4, A = 60 and g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 (It is a constant);
Subsituting values, we have: = 0.6
Answer:
b) Betelgeuse would be times brighter than Sirius
c) Since Betelgeuse brightness from Earth compared to the Sun is the statement saying that it would be like a second Sun is incorrect
Explanation:
The start brightness is related to it luminosity thought the following equation:
(1)
where is the brightness,
is the star luminosity and
, the distance from the star to the point where the brightness is calculated (measured). Thus:
b) and
where
is the Sun luminosity (
) but we don't need to know this value for solving the problem.
is light years.
Finding the ratio between the two brightness we get:
c) we can do the same as in b) but we need to know the distance from the Sun to the Earth, which is . Then
Notice that since the star luminosities are given with respect to the Sun luminosity we don't need to use any value a simple states the Sun luminosity as the unit, i.e 1. From this result, it is clear that when Betelgeuse explodes it won't be like having a second Sun, it brightness will be 5 orders of magnitude smaller that our Sun brightness.
