Which classification scheme is based on the brightness of a star as it appears to you in the night sky?

1 answer:

3 0

The apparent magnitude scale is a classification scheme which is based on the brightness of stars. The range of brightness values is from 1 to 6.
The stars which are the most brightest are ranked as number 1 and also called first magnitude stars, stars which are little dimmer than number 1 are ranked as number 2 and also called second magnitude stars. Similarly the most faintest stars are ranked number 6 and also called as the sixth magnitude stars.

A package of aluminum foil contains 50. ft2 of foil, which weighs approximately 6.0 oz. Aluminum has a density of 2.70 g/cm3. Wh

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

1.36 x 10^-3 cm

Explanation:

Area = 50 ft^2 = 46451.5 cm^2

mass = 6 oz = 170.097 g

density = 2.70 g/cm^3

Let t be the thickness of foil in cm.

mass = volume x density

mass = area x thickness x density

170.097 = 46451.5 x t x 2.70

t = 1.36 x 10^-3 cm

Thus, the thickness of aluminium foil is 1.36 x 10^-3 cm.

A total Δν of 15 km/s is required to achieve an interplanetary mission. The proposed rocket has two stages. The first stage alon

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

102000 kg

Explanation:

Given:

A total Δν = 15 km/s

first stage mass = 1000 tonnes

specific impulse of liquid rocket = 300 s

Mass flow rate of liquid fuel = 1500 kg/s

specific impulse of solid fuel = 250 s

Mass flow of solid fuel = 200 kg/s

First stage burn time = 1 minute = 1 × 60 seconds = 60 seconds

Now,

Mass flow of liquid fuel in 1 minute = Mass flow rate × Burn time

Mass flow of liquid fuel in 1 minute = 1500 × 60 = 90000 kg

Also,

Mass flow of solid fuel in 1 minute = Mass flow rate × Burn time

Mass flow of solid fuel in 1 minute = 200 × 60 = 12000 kg

Therefore,

The total jettisoned mass flow of the fuel in first stage

= 90000 kg + 12000 kg

= 102000 kg

A firecracker breaks up into two pieces, one of which has a mass of 200 g and flies off along the x-axis with a speed of 82.0 m/

larisa [96]

Answer:

Total momentum, p = 21.24 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of first piece, $m_1=200\ g= 0.2\ kg$

Mass of the second piece, $m_2=300\ g= 0.3\ kg$

Speed of the first piece, $v_1=82\ m/s$ (along x axis)

Speed of the second piece, $v_2=45\ m/s$ (along y axis)

To find,

The total momentum of the two pieces.

Solve,

The total momentum of two pieces is equal to the sum of momentum along x axis and along y axis.

$p_x=m_1v_1$

$p_x=0.2\ kg\times 82\ m/s$

$p_x=16.4\ kg-m/s$

$p_y=m_2v_2$

$p_y=0.3\ kg\times 45\ m/s$

$p_y=13.5\ kg-m/s$

The net momentum is given by :

$p=\sqrt{p_x^2+p_y^2}$

$p=\sqrt{16.4^2+13.5^2}$

p = 21.24 kg-m/s

Therefore, the total momentum of the two pieces is 21.24 kg-m/s.
