Answer: average

Explanation:

Absolute magnitude can be defines as the apparent magnitude at a standard distance of 10 Parsecs.

The absolute magnitude of Sun is 4.83 where as its apparent magnitude is -26.74.

The absolute magnitude of Sun is neither very large nor very small. It lies in the limiting magnitude range.

Hence, the correct option is The sun’s absolute magnitude is described as average in comparison to other stars.

very small

Being close to the earth can be milseading. I think that if the sun were at the same distance as anohter star, it might be hard to see because it is small, relatiavely speaking

"A uniform cylinder of mass M and radius R is rolling without slipping. The velocity of its center of mass is v. What is the cyl

Goshia [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of cylinder is M

radius R

velocity of center of mass is v

As there is no slipping therefore cylinder will rotate as well as translate

Moment of inertia of cylinder $I=\frac{MR^2}{2}$

Kinetic Energy of cylinder $K.E.=\frac{1}{2}Mv^2$

Rotational energy $R.E.=\frac{1}{2}I\omega ^2$

for rolling

$v=\omega \times r$

where $\omega =angular\ velocity\ of\ cylinder$

$R.E.=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{MR^2}{2}\times (\frac{v}{R})^2=\frac{1}{4}Mv^2$

Total kinetic Energy $=\frac{1}{2}Mv^2+\frac{1}{4}Mv^2=\frac{3}{4}Mv^2$

A 62-kg person jumps from a window to a fire net 20.0 m directly below, which stretches the net 1.4 m. Assume that the net behav

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

a) x = 0.098

b) x = 2.72 m

Explanation:

(a) To find the stretch of the fire net when the same person is lying in it, you can assume that the net is like a spring with constant spring k. It is necessary to find k.

When the person is falling down he acquires a kinetic energy K, this energy is equal to the elastic potential energy of the net when it is max stretched.

Then, you have:

$K=U\\\\\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$ (1)
