D. the value of the star's apparent magnitude increases
ExtremeBDS [4]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Apparent magnitude of a star is the brightness of the star observed from the Earth at its actual position. The value extends in both positive and negative direction. Increasing value of apparent magnitude in positive direction means that the brightness is decreasing. Absolute magnitude is the apparent magnitude of the star when the star is at 10 parsecs distance away from earth.

It is given that a star is 500 light-years away from earth moved to be 600 light years away. The value of absolute magnitude of the star does not changes. But the value of apparent magnitude changes with the distance. It would increase as the distance would increase. The star would appear less bright.

What was the major shortcoming of rutherford’s model of the atom?
lisabon 2012 [21]

The major shortcoming of Rutherford's model was that it was incomplete. It did not explain how the atom's negatively charged electrons are distrubuted in the space surronding its positively charged nucleus. A form of energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space

Five difference between elastic collision and inelastic collision?​
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Elastic Collision

Inelastic Collision

The total kinetic energy is conserved. The total kinetic energy of the bodies at the beginning and the end of the collision is different.

Momentum does not change. Momentum changes.

No conversion of energy takes place. Kinetic energy is changed into other energy such as sound or heat energy.

Highly unlikely in the real world as there is almost always a change in energy. This is the normal form of collision in the real world.

An example of this can be swinging balls or a spacecraft flying near a planet but not getting affected by its gravity in the end.

What is the minimum mass needed for a star to be on the main sequence? What happens to stars that do not meet the minimum mass?
Mariana [72]
Main sequence stars are characterised by the source of their energy.They are all undergoing fusion of hydrogen into helium within their cores. The mass of the star is the main element for such process or phenomenon to take place for it is a determinant of both the rate at which they perform the said activity and the amount of fuel available. 

To answer the question, the lower mass limit for a main sequence star is about 0.08. If the mass of a main sequence star is lower than the above-mentioned value, there would be a deficit or insufficiency of gravitational force to generate a standard temperature for hydrogen core fusion to take place and the underdeveloped star would form into a brown dwarf instead.

Compute the torque about the origin of the gravitational force F--mgj acting on a particle of mass m located at 7-xî+ yj and sho
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force, F = - mg j

r = - 7x i + y j

Torque is defined as the product f force and the perpendicular distance.

It is also defined as the cross product of force vector and the displacement vector.

\overrightarrow{\tau }=\overrightarrow{r}\times \overrightarrow{F}

\overrightarrow{\tau }=(- 7 x i + yj)\times (-mgj)

[tex]\overrightarrow{\tau  }= 7 m g x k

Here, we observe that the torque is independent of y coordinate.

A sidereal day is the time it takes for
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

B. the stars to come back to the same positions in the sky.

Explanation:

In fact, the solar day is equivalent to more than a rotation, because when the point has turned completely, it is not, as it should, in the same position with respect to the Sun.

The reason for this is that while performing the rotation, the Earth simultaneously moved following its orbit around the Sun.

When the reference point completed its rotation, the Earth already moved almost 2,500,000 km., So that to see the Sun again it will be necessary to turn a little more.

Solar day is more than a rotation. The sidereal or sidereal day, commonly used by astronomers, is also based on the rotation of the Earth; but in this case a distant star is taken as a reference (sidereal comes from the Latin sidus which means "star").
