The absolute magnitude of a star________.

1 answer:

8 0

The absolute magnitude of a star is how bright it would appear to us
if it were located ten parsecs (about 32.6 light years) from us. So it's
a way of treating all stars equally ... on a "level playing field" ... and it
describes each star's actual brightness.

The rate at which light energy is radiated from a source is measured in which of the following units?

Over [174]

The correct option is D.
Lumen is used to quantify the amount of total light energy that a source is putting out in all direction, thus, it refers to luminous output of a light source. Initial lumen refers to the luminosity of a light when it was first turned on; the luminosity is highest at this point.

The tub of a washer goes into its spin-dry cycle, starting from rest and reaching an angular speed of 2.0 rev/s in 10.0 s. At th

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

22 revolutions

Explanation:

2 rev/s = 2*(2π rad/rev) = 12.57 rad/s

The angular acceleration when it starting

$\alpha_a = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t} = \frac{12.57}{10} = 1.257 rad/s^2$

The angular acceleration when it stopping:

$\alpha_o = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t} = \frac{-12.57}{12} = -1.05 rad/s^2$

The angular distance it covers when starting from rest:

$\omega^2 - 0^2 = 2\alpha_a\theta_a$

$\theta_a = \frac{\omega^2}{2\alpha_a} = \frac{12.57^2}{2*1.257} = 62.8 rad$

The angular distance it covers when coming to complete stop:

$0 - \omega^2 = 2\alpha_o\theta_o$

$\theta_o = \frac{-\omega^2}{2\alpha_o} = \frac{-12.57^2}{2*(-1.05)} = 75.4 rad$

So the total angular distance it covers within 22 s is 62.8 + 75.4 = 138.23 rad or 138.23 / (2π) = 22 revolutions

How are slow twitch fibers and fast twitch fibers different?

Vlad1618 [11]

Slow-twitch muscles help enable long-endurance feats such as distance running.
fast-twitch muscles fatigue faster but are used in powerful bursts of movements like sprinting.
