What two factors determine how bright a star appears to be in the sky?

Physics

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.

A 2.0 kg particle moves in a circle of radius 3.1 m. As you look down on the plane of its orbit, the particle is initially movin
Ghella [55]

Answer

given,

L(t) = 10 - 3.5 t

mass of particle = 2 Kg

radius of the circle = 3.1 m

a) torque

    τ = \dfrac{dL}{dt}

    τ = \dfrac{d}{dt}(10 - 3.5 t)

    τ = -3.5 N.m

Particle rotates clockwise as i look down the plane. Hence, its angular velocity is downward.

L decreases the angular acceleration upward. so, net torque is upward.

b) Moment of inertia of the particle

    I = m R^2

    I = 2 x 3.1²

    I = 19.22 kg.m²

    L = I ω

    ω = \dfrac{L}{I}

    ω = \dfrac{10 - 3.5 t}{19.22}

    ω = 0.520 - 0.182 t

  A = 0.52 rad/s             B = -0.182 rad/s²

EARTH SCIENCE PLEASE ANSWER
Rzqust [24]

The Earth Science answers are shown below.

Explanation:

1. The movement of the sun will change the angle it has on the sky in 30 minutes, it is always moving from the east to the west, so in 30 minutes it would move more west, no matter at what time you make the experiment. From Earth, the Sun looks like it moves across the sky in the daytime and appears to disappear at night. This is because the Earth is spinning towards the east. The Earth spins about its axis, an imaginary line that runs through the middle of the Earth between the North and South poles

2. No, both marks are the same distance from the ground.  the amount of stick above the mark will not affect the distance that the shadow of the mark moves at all. The Sun's clockwise motion is an apparent motion caused by the rotation of the Earth. The counterclockwise rotation of the Earth in the Sun's light causes the shadow of the gnomon to move clockwise. As the Sun appears to move higher above the horizon before solar noon, the shadow grows shorter and shorter.

3. In the summer the shadows are shorter, and in the winter the shadows are longer. In the morning your shadow will point west and in the afternoon it will point east. If your shadow is long, it is near sunrise or sunset. Your shadow is shortest around noon.

4. If the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, then the Earth should rotate in the opposite direction from west to east (anti-clockwise). Earth's spin (or rotation) on its axis. Earth rotates or spins toward the east, and that's why the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars all rise in the east and make their way westward across the sky.
