Explanation:
In physical sciences, mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. It is the macroscopic energy associated with a system. The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that if an isolated system is subject only to conservative forces, then the mechanical energy is constant. If an object moves in the opposite direction of a conservative net force, the potential energy will increase; and if the speed (not the velocity) of the object changes, the kinetic energy of the object also changes. In all real systems, however, nonconservative forces, such as frictional forces, will be present, but if they are of negligible magnitude, the mechanical energy changes little and its conservation is a useful approximation. In elastic collisions, the kinetic energy is conserved, but in inelastic collisions some mechanical energy may be converted into thermal energy. The equivalence between lost mechanical energy (dissipation) and an increase in temperature was discovered by James Prescott Joule.
Answer:
b) Betelgeuse would be 
times brighter than Sirius
c) Since Betelgeuse brightness from Earth compared to the Sun is 
the statement saying that it would be like a second Sun is incorrect
Explanation:
The start brightness is related to it luminosity thought the following equation:
(1)
where 
is the brightness, 
is the star luminosity and 
, the distance from the star to the point where the brightness is calculated (measured). Thus:
b) 
and 
where 
is the Sun luminosity (
) but we don't need to know this value for solving the problem. 
is light years.
Finding the ratio between the two brightness we get:
c) we can do the same as in b) but we need to know the distance from the Sun to the Earth, which is 
. Then
Notice that since the star luminosities are given with respect to the Sun luminosity we don't need to use any value a simple states the Sun luminosity as the unit, i.e 1. From this result, it is clear that when Betelgeuse explodes it won't be like having a second Sun, it brightness will be 5 orders of magnitude smaller that our Sun brightness.
Answer: Sara tries turning a test tube upside down to collect a gas.
A scientist is considered to be creative when he approaches a problem with new different ways. The conventional way is to design an experiment and take detailed notes, reading referenced studies previously done. Sara tries turning a test tube upside down to collect a gas is a creative way as Sara tries something different.
Answer:
Explanation:
A closed system can exchange energy but not matter, with its surroundings. An isolated system cannot exchange any heat, work, or matter with the surroundings, while an open system can exchange energy and matter.
Hope this helped you!
Answer:
Diameter will be 351.42 mm
Explanation:
We have given current flowing in the copper wire i = 310 A
Voltage drop across the wire V = 0.55 volt
We know that resistance is given by 
Length of the copper wire l = 1 m
Resisitivity of the copper wire 
We know that resistance 
As area 
So diameter 
= 351.42 mm
