The star Antares has an apparent magnitude of 1.0, whereas the star Procyon has an apparent magnitude of 0.4. Which star appears

brighter in the sky?
Physics

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.

3. A model rocket takes 0.05 seconds to speed up from rest to its maximum velocity of 80 m/s.
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

1600 \frac{m}{s^2}

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity divided by the time it took to produce such change. The formula then reads:

a = \frac{change-in-velocity}{time} = \frac{Vf-Vi}{t}

Where Vf is the final velocity of the object, (in our case 80 m/s)

Vi is the initial velocity of the object (in our case 0 m/s because the object was at rest)

and t is the time it took to change from the Vi to the Vf (in our case 0.05 seconds.

Therefore we have:

a = \frac{80 m/s - 0 m/s}{0.05 sec} = 1600 \frac{m}{s^2}

Notice that the units of acceleration in the SI system are \frac{m}{s^2} (meters divided square seconds)

A 100 V battery is connected across a
Sergio039 [100]

1 mA = 0.001 A

Therefore, 5 mA = 0.001 * 5

=0.005 A

Resistance = voltage / current

= 100 / 0.005

= 20000 ohms

Current = voltage / resistance

= 25 / 20000

= 0.00125 A (or) 1.25 mA

Use the concept of fields to describe how forces can act from a distance.
Leni [432]
The strength of a field force changes with distance from the sourceof the field-stronger closer to the source, weaker farther away from the source. The source can be either a mass, a charged particle, or a magnetic pole.
