Explain why color is a measure of a star’s temperature.

Physics
1 answer:
guajiro [1.7K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: The color of a star plays a significant role in determining its age as well as its temperature. A star normally appears to be shining as we see through the atmosphere. An increase in the temperature of a star releases more energy and this can be observed in the various colors of color spectrum.

The hottest star generally appears to be bluish-white in color whereas the coldest star usually appears to be reddish in color.

Thus, a star's color can help us determining its temperature.

What is required for an electric charge to flow through a wire?
max2010maxim [7]
In order to persuade the electrons in the wire to flow, you need
a potential difference between the ends of the wire.  Then the
electrons will want to get away from the more-negative end and
go to the more-positive end.  If both ends of the wire are at the
same potential, then the electrons have no reason to go anywhere,
and they just stay where they are.

Choice-d says this.

timurjin [86]

Answer:

0.247 J = 247 mJ

Explanation:

From the principle of conservation of energy, the workdone by the applied force, W = kinetic energy change + electric potential energy change.

So, W = ΔK + ΔU =1/2m(v₂² - v₁²) + q(V₂ - V₁) where m = mass of particle = 5.4 × 10⁻² kg, q = charge of particle = 5.10 × 10⁻⁵ C, v₁ = initial speed of particle = 2.00 m/s, v₂ = final speed of particle = 3.00 m/s, V₁ = potential at surface A = 5650 V, V₂ = potential at surface B = 7850 V.

So, W = ΔK + ΔU =1/2m(v₂² - v₁²) + q(V₂ - V₁)

          = 1/2 × 5.4 × 10⁻²kg × ((3m/s)² - (2 m/s)²) + 5.10 × 10⁻⁵ C(7850 - 5650)

          = 0.135 J + 0.11220 J

          = 0.2472 J

          ≅ 0.247 J = 247 mJ
