You can painlessly wade into a pool, but doing a belly flop off of the high diving board hurts because of the cohesion of the water molecules.

Explanation:

Water is represented as H20 where two hydrogen atoms are bonded to one oxygen atom. Due to force of attraction between the water molecules they stick together providing a greater force when an object or a body acts upon them.

Hence moving slowly in water or dipping slowly will not produce any opposite form whereas flipping does as it tries to separate the body between the water molecules when we fall with a certain amount of force.

Suppose that the Mars orbiter was to have established orbit at 155 km and that one group of engineers specified this distance as

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

108 km

Explanation:

The conversion factor between meters and feet is

1 m = 3.28 ft

So the second altitude, written in feet, can be rewritten in meters as

$h_2 = 1.55 \cdot 10^5 ft \cdot \frac{1}{3.28 ft/m}=4.7\cdot 10^4 m$

or in kilometers,

$h_2 = 47 km$

the first altitude in kilometers is

$h_1 = 155 km$

so the difference between the two altitudes is

$\Delta h = 155 km - 47 km = 108 km$

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The value is $N = 1.107 *10^{45 } \ photons$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The power output from the sun is $P_o = 4 * 10^{26} \ W$

The average wavelength of each photon is $\lambda = 550 \ nm = 550 *10^{-9} \ m$

Generally the energy of each photon emitted is mathematically represented as

$E_c = \frac{h * c }{ \lambda }$

Here h is the Plank's constant with value $h = 6.62607015 * 10^{-34} J \cdot s$

c is the speed of light with value $c = 3.0 *10^{8} \ m/s$

$E_c = \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34} * 3.0 *10^{8} }{ 550 *10^{-9} }$

=> $E_c = 3.614 *10^{-19} \ J$

Generally the number of photons emitted by the Sun in a second is mathematically represented as

$N = \frac{P }{E_c}$

=> $N = \frac{4 * 10^{26} }{3.614 *10^{-19}}$

=> $N = 1.107 *10^{45 } \ photons$

Suppose astronomers discover a type-M star with a very large luminosity. What type of star is it likely to be

lianna [129]

Answer: A red supergiant

Explanation:

Red supergiants are the stars that have a supergiant luminosity which has a class of either K or M spectral type. In terms of volume, they are regarded as the largest stars on Earth even though they are not the most luminous.

Red supergiants are formed when a star collapses after the hydrogen fuel that the star has in its core runs out and

then fusion begins when the outer shells of hydrogen gets hot.
