The Sun has<span> an "absolute magnitude" of </span>4.83 and an "apparent" magnitude of -26.8. (Which is the difference between the numbers). <span>Scientists use what is know as "</span>Absolute" Magnitude<span> to help them understand and compute how bright a star really is. The "</span>absolute" magnitude<span> of an object, such as a star, equals how bright that object would look if it were 10 parsecs, or 32.6 light years away from the Earth.</span>

Estimate the magnitude of the electric field due to the proton in a hydrogen atom at a distance of
Lana71 [14]

Electric field due to a point charge is given as

E = \frac{kq}{r^2}

here we know that

q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

also the distance is given as

r = 5.29 \times 10^{-11} m

now we will have

E = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(1.6 \times 10^{-19})}{(5.29 \times 10^{-11})^2}

so we will have

E = 5.14 \times 10^{11} N/C

so above is the electric field due to proton

If you know the amount of air pressure exerted on a tabletop, how can you calculate the force exerted on the tabletop? Multiply
babymother [125]

Answer:

Multiply the air pressure by the area of the tabletop.

Explanation:

The relationship between pressure, force and area is given by:

p=\frac{F}{A}

where in this case, p is the air pressure, F is the force exerted and A the area of the tabletop. By re-arranging the equation, we can solve for F, the force exerted:

p=\frac{F}{A}\\p\cdot A=\frac{F}{A}\cdot A\\pA=F

So, the correct answer is:

The force exerted on the tabletop can be found by multiplying the air pressure by the area of the tabletop.

a 360 mile trip began on a greeway in a car traveling at 62 mph. Once the road became a 2 lane highway, the car slowed to 54 mph
Daniel [21]

Answer:

Time spent on the greenway road  = 4.5 hours

Time spent on the 2 lane road = 1.5 hours

Explanation:

The distance of the trip  is 360 miles and the initial speed of the car is 62 miles/hr and after the road became 2 lane highway the car slowed to 54 miles/hr.

Let us divide the trip into two

Greenway

speed = distance/time

speed = 62 mph

time = a

distance = speed × time

distance = 62a

2 lane highway

speed = distance/time

speed = 54 mph

time = b

distance = speed × time

distance = 54b

Total distance

62a + 54b = 360......................(i)

Total time

a + b = 6..............................(ii)

a = 6-b

insert a in equation (i)

62(6-b) + 54b = 360

372  - 62b + 54b = 360

-8b = 360-372

-8b = - 12

b = 12/8

b = 1.5

from equation (ii)

a + 1.5 = 6

a = 6 - 1.5

a = 4.5
