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.

A 47.4 kg student runs down the sidewalk and jumps with a horizontal speed of 42 m/s onto a stationary skateboard
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

3 kg

Explanation:

Momentum before = momentum after

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

After jumping on the skateboard, the student and the skateboard have the same velocity, so v₁ = v₂.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = (m₁ + m₂) v

(47.4 kg) (4.2 m/s) + m (0 m/s) = (47.4 kg + m) (3.95 m/s)

m = 3 kg

How much current would flow in a device powered by four 1.5 V batteries through a bulb that had a resistance of 51.0 ohms?
Serhud [2]

Answer:

0.12A

Explanation:

Total voltage produced by the batteries;

V = 1.5 × 4 = 6 v

Then the current that is flowing through the device

Current(I) = V/R

; I = 6/51

;Current = 0.12A
