1 answer:

6 0

<span>So we want to know how many satellites exist in Earth's orbit today. If by satellites we mean artificial vehicles made to orbit the Earth, then, according to Goddard Space Flight Center's list, there is 2271 satellite in the Earths orbit today. So the correct answer is 2271. </span>

Is the star moving toward earth, away from earth, or is there not enough information provided to determine its motion?

ivanzaharov [21]

If a star is moving towards Earth, shift towards the blue end of the spectrum, this is called blue shift. If the star is moving away from Earth the light from that star will be red and is called red shift .

The faster a star moves towards the earth, the more its light is shifted to higher frequencies. In contrast, if a star is moving away from the earth, its light is shifted to lower frequencies on the color spectrum

if a star is moving towards Earth, it appears to emit light that is shorter in wavelength compared to a source of light that isn't moving. Because shorter wavelengths correspond to a shift towards the blue end of the spectrum, this is called blue shift.

If the star is moving away from Earth, its light will lose energy to reach Earth, therefore the light from that star will be red and is called red shift

For main sequence stars what tends to happen to the absolute brightness of a star as the temperature rises? How do you know?

professor190 [17]

With the increase in the temperature of the star, the brightness of the stars will also increase.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The brightness and surface temperature of stars ordinarily increment with age. A star stays close to its underlying situation on the fundamental arrangement until a lot of hydrogen in the center has been devoured, at that point starts to advance into a progressively brilliant star.

The brightness of a star relies upon its structure and how far it is from the planet. Space experts characterize star brilliance as far as clear extent — how splendid the star shows up from Earth — and outright greatness — how brilliant the star shows up at a standard separation

Answer:

Explanation:

The coordinate sketch for the system is shown in the attached file below. Also, in the cartesian coordinate system, since the height is less than the length and width, we did neglect the height. Thus, we eliminate the height and converted it to a two-dimension.

On a journey of 600 km, a train was delayed 1 hour and 30 min after having covered 1 4 of the way. To arrive on time at the dest

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The train travelled 10hours.

Explanation:

Using speed= distance/time ...eq1

Let the time taken by train to cover the journey be t.

Let the speed of train be s

Time= distance/speed ...eq2

Time t =600/s ...eq3

The train is delayed for 1 1/2 hours=3/2 hours

Train increased by 15km/hr.

Train travelled 1/4 of 600k.= 150km.

Speed increased by s + 15 to cover the remaining 450km

t = 150/s + 400/(s + 15) + 3/2 ..eq4

Equating eq3 and 4

600/s= 150/s + 460/(s + 15) + 3/2

450/s = 3/2 + 450/(s + 15)

3s^2 + 45s -13500=0

Solving the quadratic equation

S= -45 +-sqrt(45^2-4(3×13500)/2×3

S= 60 , -75

Hence speed of train is 60km/hr

Using eq 2 distance/speed=time

600/60=10

t= 10hours
