C.) Alpha Centauri

Explanation:

Due to it being the closest planetary system to earth.

About 4.367 light years away.

b) The distance of the red supergiant Betelgeuse is approximately 427 light years. If it were to explode as a supernova, it woul
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

b) Betelgeuse would be \approx 1.43 \cdot 10^{6} times brighter than Sirius

c) Since Betelgeuse brightness from Earth compared to the Sun is \approx 1.37 \cdot 10^{-5} } 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:

B = \displaystyle{\frac{L}{4\pi d^2}} (1)

where B is the brightness, L is the star luminosity and d, the distance from the star to the point where the brightness is calculated (measured). Thus:

b) B_{Betelgeuse} = \displaystyle{\frac{10^{10}L_{Sun}}{4\pi (427\ ly)^2}} and B_{Sirius} = \displaystyle{\frac{26L_{Sun}}{4\pi (26\ ly)^2}} where L_{Sun} is the Sun luminosity (3.9 x 10^{26} W) but we don't need to know this value for solving the problem. ly is light years.

Finding the ratio between the two brightness we get:

\displaystyle{\frac{B_{Betelgeuse}}{B_{Sirius}}=\frac{10^{10}L_{Sun}}{4\pi (427\ ly)^2} \times \frac{4\pi (26\ ly)^2}{26L_{Sun}} \approx 1.43 \cdot 10^{6} }

c) we can do the same as in b) but we need to know the distance from the Sun to the Earth, which is 1.581 \cdot 10^{-5}\ ly. Then

\displaystyle{\frac{B_{Betelgeuse}}{B_{Sun}}=\frac{10^{10}L_{Sun}}{4\pi (427\ ly)^2} \times \frac{4\pi (1.581\cdot 10^{-5}\ ly)^2}{1\ L_{Sun}} \approx 1.37 \cdot 10^{-5} }

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.

Milk containing 3.7% fat and 12.8% total solids is to be evaporated to produce a product containing 7.9% fat. What is the yield
ratelena [41]

Answer:

the yield of product is YP=46.835 % and the concentration of solids is

Cs = 27.33%

Explanation:

Assuming that all the solids and fats remains in the milk after the evaporation, then the mass of product mP will be

Mass of fat in 100 kg of milk = 100 kg* 0.037 = mP* 0.079

mP = 100 kg* 0.037/0.079  =  46.835 kg

then the yield YP of the product is

YP= mP / 100 kg =  46.835 kg / 100 kg = 46.835 %

YP= 46.835 %

the concentration of solids Cs is

Mass of solids in 100 kg of milk = 100 kg* 0.128 = 46.835 kg * Cs

Cs = 100 kg* 0.128 / 46.835 kg  = 0.2733 = 27.33%

Cs = 27.33%

A sound wave has a speed of 345 m/s and a wavelength of 4.15 meters. What is the frequency of this wave?
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

83 hertz

OPTION A

Explanation:

wavelength =  \frac{speed}{frequency}

Given

wavelength=4.15m

speed=345 m/s

frequency =  \frac{speed}{wavelength} =  \frac{345}{4.15}

frequency = 83 \: hertz

I hope it helped you
