Answer:

the stars which are red in color are cool.

Explanation:

The stars which has reddish color are cool in nature while those stars which has white and blue in color are very hot in nature. The stars change its color when they becomes hotter , first the star color reddish when they are cool but with increasing temperature it changes the color from reddish to orange then yellow. After yellow it turns green and finally get blue color when the stars are very very hot.

<span>Pressure = force / area</span>

I assume that 350kg is the mass 
Therefore, 

350 x 9.8 (gravity) = 3430N

3430 / 1 = 3430Pa

3.43 KPa

Xelga [282]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of probe m = 474 Kg

initial speed u = 275 m /s

force acting on it F = 5.6 x 10⁻² N

displacement s = 2.42 x 10⁹ m

A )

initial kinetic energy = 1/2 m u²  , m is mass of probe.

= .5 x 474 x 275²

= 17923125 J  

B )

work done by engine

= force x displacement

= 5.6 x 10⁻² x 2.42 x 10⁹

= 13.55 x 10⁷ J  

C ) Final kinetic energy

= Initial K E + work done by force on it

= 17923125 +13.55 x 10⁷

= 1.79 x 10⁷ + 13.55 x 10⁷

= 15.34 x 10⁷ J

D ) If v be its velocity

1/2 m v² = 15.34 x 10⁷

1/2 x 474 x v² =  15.34 x 10⁷

v² = 64.72 x 10⁴

v = 8.04 x 10² m /s

= 804 m /s
