If the star Sirius emits 23 times more energy than the Sun, why does the Sun appear brighter in the sky?
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

As b ∝ (L/r²) and

the distance of the sun from the earth is 0.00001581 light years

and

the distance of the Sirius from the earth is 8.6 light years

hence,

the Sun appear brighter in the sky

Explanation:

The brightness (b) is directly proportional to the Luminosity of the star (L) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the star and the observer (r).

thus, mathematically,

b ∝ (L/r²)

now,

given

L for sirius is 23 times more than the sun i.e 23L

now,

the distance of the sun from the earth is 0.00001581 light years

and

the distance of the Sirius from the earth is 8.6 light years

thus,

using the the relation between conclude that the value of brightness for the Sirius comes very very low as compared to the value for brightness for the Sun.

hence, the sun appears brighter

A can of beans that has mass M is launched by a spring-powered device from level ground. The can is launched at an angle of α0 a
scZoUnD [109]

Hi there!

A.

Since the can was launched from ground level, we know that its trajectory forms a symmetrical, parabolic shape. In other words, the time taken for the can to reach the top is the same as the time it takes to fall down.

Thus, the time to its highest point:
T_h = \frac{T}{2}

Now, we can determine the velocity at which the can was launched at using the following equation:
v_f = v_i + at

In this instance, we are going to look at the VERTICAL component of the velocity, since at the top of the trajectory, the vertical velocity = 0 m/s.

Therefore:
0 = v_y + at\\\\0 = vsin\theta - g\frac{T}{2}

***vsinθ is the vertical component of the velocity.

Solve for 'v':
vsin(\alpha_0) = g\frac{T}{2}\\\\v = \frac{gT}{2sin(\alpha_0)}

Now, recall that:
W = \Delta KE = \frac{1}{2}m(\Delta v)^2

Plug in the expression for velocity:
W = \frac{1}{2}M (\frac{gT}{2sin(\alpha_0)})^2\\\\\boxed{W = \frac{Mg^2T^2}{8sin^2(\alpha _0)}}

B.

We can use the same process as above, where T' = 2T and Th = T.

v = \frac{gT}{sin(\alpha _0)} }\\\\W = \frac{1}{2}M(\frac{gT}{sin(\alpha _0)})^2\\\\\boxed{W = \frac{Mg^2T^2}{2sin^2(\alpha _0)}}

C.

The work done in part B is 4 times greater than the work done in part A.

\boxed{\frac{W_B}{W_A} = \frac{4}{1} = 4.0}
