Answer:

Procyon appears brighter in the sky

Explanation:

Apparent magnitude of star Antares = 1.0

Apparent magnitude of star Procyon = 0.4

Pogson's Ratio

m₂-m₁ = -2.50 log(B₂/B₁)

where, m is the apparent magnitude

B = Brightness of star or flux coming towards us (W/m²)

∴Larger magnitudes correspond to fainter stars so here 1>0.4 which means Antares appears dimmer and Procyon appears brighter.

b) $1410 J$

c) $36.62 m/s$

Explanation:

<h3>a) Mass of the continent</h3>

Density $\rho$ is defined as a relation between mass $m$ and volume $V$ :

$\rho=\frac{m}{V}$ (1)

Where:

$\rho=2720 kg/m^{3}$ is the average density of the continent

$m$ is the mass of the continent

$V$ is the volume of the continent, which can be estimated is we assume it as a a slab of rock 5300 km on a side and 37 km deep:

$V=(length)(width)(depth)=(5300 km)(5300 km)(37 km)=1,030,330,000 km^{3} \frac{(1000 m)^{3}}{1 km^{3}}=1.03933(10)^{18} m^{3}$

Finding the mass:

$m=\rho V$ (2)

$m=(2720 kg/m^{3})(1.03933(10)^{18} m^{3})$ (3)

$m=2.82(10)^{21} kg$ (4) This is the mass of the continent

<h3>b) Kinetic energy of the continent</h3>

Kinetic energy $K$ is given by the following equation:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$ (5)

Where:

$m=2.82(10)^{21} kg$ is the mass of the continent

$v=4.8 \frac{cm}{year} \frac{1 m}{100 cm} \frac{1 year}{365 days} \frac{1 day}{24 hours} \frac{1 hour}{3600 s}=1(10)^{-9} m/s$ is the velocity of the continent

$K=\frac{1}{2}(2.82(10)^{21} kg)(1(10)^{-9} m/s)^{2}$ (6)

$K=1410 J$ (7) This is the kinetic energy of the continent

<h3>c) Speed of the jogger</h3>

If we have a jogger with mass $m=77 kg$ and the same kinetic energy as that of the continent $1413 J$ , we can find its velocity by isolating $v$ from (5):

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2 K}{m}}$ (6)

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2 (1413 J)}{77 kg}}$

Finally:

$v=36.62 m/s$ This is the speed of the jogger

A car travels along a clear 10.0 km section of motorway in 6.0 minutes. It then drives through 3.0 km of roadwork in 3.0 minutes

Charra [1.4K]

6min=1/10h=0.1h
3min=1/20h=0.05h

$\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow Avg\:Speed=\dfrac{Total\:Displacement}{Total\:Time}$

$\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow Avg\:Speed=\dfrac{10+3}{0.1+0.05}$

$\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow Avg\:Speed=\dfrac{13}{0.15}$

$\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow Avg\:Speed=86.6km/h$

A boy weighs 40 kilograms. He runs at a velocity of 4 meters per second north. Which is his momentum?

Bogdan [553]

The boy's momentum is 160 kg*m/s north.

The formula of momentum is p = mv, where p is momentum.
p = 40 kg * 4m/s north
p =160 kg*m/s north
