Delicious77 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

1. Luminosity

2.Apparent brightness

Explanation:

There are two factors on which brightness of star appear to be in the sky

The two factors are

1. Luminosity

2.Apparent brightness

1.Luminosity :It is defined as the total energy emitted by the object in a given time.Luminosity vary with the distance of observer from the star.Luminosity is a intrinsic property which depends on the fundamental chemical composition and structure of the  material.Luminosity is depends on the size of star.Lager the star luminosity will be more.

2.Apparent brightness: It is defined as how bright a star appears from an observer on the earth and the amount of starlight reaching the earth.if the distance is large then the brightness decreases.When the distance of star from us small then the   brightness of star increases.Distance is inversely proportional to brightness of the star.

Calculate the average value of an AC signal with a peak amplitude of 10V and a frequency of 10 kHz.
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

V(average)=6.37 V

Explanation:

Given Data

Peak Voltage=10V

Frequency=10 kHZ

To Find

Average Voltage

Solution

For this first we need to find Voltage peak to peak

So

Voltage (peak to peak)= 2× voltage peak

Voltage (peak to peak)= 2×10

Voltage (peak to peak)= 20 V

Now from Voltage (peak to peak) formula we can find the Average Voltage

So

Voltage (peak to peak)=π×V(average)

V(average)=Voltage (peak to peak)/π

V(average)=20/3.14

V(average)=6.37 V

The term "exfoliation dome" is best applied to ________. the term "exfoliation dome" is best applied to ________. bryce national
BlackZzzverrR [31]
An exfoliation dome is a geological structure wherein it is primarily when the overburden of a surface gets removed by erosion, thus leading to rock relaxation. In addition, the term would be best applied to the national landmark of Yosemite National Park wherein the place has one of the best waterfalls in California.

Suppose you and a friend are test driving a new car. You drive out of the car dealership and go 10 miles east and then 8 miles s
damaskus [11]

a =12miles

b =10miles

ab =2miles

Explanation:

at first the car is drown out of dealership and went 10 miles east and then 8 miles south

then your friend drives 8 miles west and 6 miles north.

then the distance it flies to get back to dealership is

10²+8 ²=12miles

8²+6²=10miles

12-10= 2 miles

Particle A of charge 3.06 10-4 C is at the origin, particle B of charge -5.70 10-4 C is at (4.00 m, 0), and particle C of charge
Alex

Answer:

F_net = 26.512 N

Explanation:

Given:

Q_a = 3.06 * 10^(-4 ) C

Q_b = -5.7 * 10^(-4 ) C

Q_c = 1.08 * 10^(-4 ) C

R_ac = 3 m

R_bc = sqrt (3^2 + 4^2) = 5m

k = 8.99 * 10^9

Coulomb's Law:

F_i = k * Q_i * Q_j / R_ij^2

Compute F_ac and F_bc :

F_ac = k * Q_a * Q_c / R^2_ac

F_ac =  8.99 * 10^9* ( 3.06 * 10^(-4 ))* (1.08 * 10^(-4 )) / 3^2

F_ac = 33.01128 N

F_bc = k * Q_b * Q_c / R^2_bc

F_bc =  8.99 * 10^9* ( 5.7 * 10^(-4 ))* (1.08 * 10^(-4 )) / 5^2  

F_bc = - 22.137 N

Angle a is subtended between F_bc and y axis @ C

cos(a) = 3 / 5

sin (a) = 4 / 5

Compute F_net:

F_net = sqrt (F_x ^2 + F_y ^2)

F_x = sum of forces in x direction:

F_x = F_bc*sin(a) = 22.137*(4/5) = 17.71 N

F_y = sum of forces in y direction:

F_y = - F_bc*cos(a) + F_ac = - 22.137*(3/5) + 33.01128 = 19.72908 N

F_net = sqrt (17.71 ^2 + 19.72908 ^2) = 26.5119 N

Answer: F_net = 26.512 N
