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.

A 0.25-m string, vibrating in its sixth harmonic, excites a 0.96-m pipe that is open at both ends into its second overtone reson

Andrews [41]

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

given,

length of the pipe, L = 0.96 m

Speed of sound,v = 345 m/s

Resonating frequency when both the end is open

$f = \dfrac{nv}{2L}$

n is the Harmonic number

2nd overtone = 3rd harmonic

so, here n = 3

now,

$f = \dfrac{3\times 345}{2\times 0.96}$

f = 540 Hz

The common resonant frequency of the string and the pipe is closest to 540 Hz.

the correct answer is option D

a hiker walks 200 m west and then walks 100 m north in what direction is her resulting displacement draw to show your answer

Sliva [168]

Answer:

The direction of the displacement is in North-West.

Explanation:

Resultant displacement D is

$=\sqrt{(200)^{2} + (100)^{2} } \\=223.60m$

Here the direction is

$\Theta =tan^{^{-1}}\left ( \frac{100}{200} \right )\\\Theta =26.6^{o}$

Then the direction is $26.6^{o}$ North-west.

I dnt know how to do it

Here's what you need to know about waves:

Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency)

Now ... The question gives you the speed and the frequency,
but they're stated in unusual ways, with complicated numbers.

Frequency: How many each second ?
The thing that's making the waves is vibrating 47 times in 26.9 seconds.
Frequency = (47) / (46.9 s) = 1.747... per second. (1.747... Hz)

Speed: How far a point on a wave travels in 1 second.
The crest of one wave travels 4.16 meters in 13.7 seconds.
Speed = (4.16 m / 13.7 sec) = 0.304... m/s

Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency)

Wavelength = (0.304 m/s) / (1.747 Hz) = 0.174 meter per second
