Assuming that the magnitude is additive, then you simply have to add the brightness four times. This is because each star has 2 magnitudes of 8.34. As a result, you have to add 4 magnitudes of 8.34. The solution is as follows:

Magnitude = 4(8.34) 
Magnitude = 33.36

Decreases, stays the same, increases. The volume decreases because as air is cooled, the individual molecules collectively possess less kinetic energy and the distances between them decrease, thus leading to a decrease in the volume they occupy at a certain pressure (please note that my answer only holds under constant pressure; air, as a gas, doesn't actually have a definite volume). The mass stays the same because physical processes do not create or destroy matter. The law of conservation of mass is obeyed. You're only cooling the air, not adding more air molecules. The density decreases because as the volume decreases and mass stays the same, you have the same mass occupying a smaller volume. Density is mass divided by volume, so as mass is held constant and volume decreases, density increases.

If the amplitude of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled, by what factor does the total energy increase?
dybincka [34]

Answer:

c)by a factor of four

Explanation:

The total energy of a simple harmonic oscillator is given by

E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2

where

k is the spring constant of the oscillator

A is the amplitude of the motion

In this problem, the amplitude of the oscillator is doubled, so

A' = 2A

Therefore, the new total energy is

E'=\frac{1}{2}k(2A)^2=4(\frac{1}{2}kA^2)=4E

So, the total energy increases by a factor 4.

During convection, heat warms up a fluid, making the fluid less dense so it begins to RISE. As the warm fluid moves, it begins t
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Convection is a form of heat transfer that is predominantly common in fluids especially liquid and gas.

It occurs by the movement of a part of substance from one place to another based on density and temperature differences.

A typical convection cell is made up of a liquid that is heated. The liquid part close to the heat source becomes warmer and rises due to its low density. The part away from the heat source is more dense and begins to sink.

This analogy is commonly demonstrated in a boiling pot of water.

A compact car has a maximum acceleration of 2.0 m/s2 when it carries only the driver and has a total mass of 1100 kg . you may w
nadya68 [22]

According to Newton`s  law. Force exerted by car,

F = m a = 1100 kg \times 2 m/s^2 = 2200 \ N

After adding an additional 400 kg of mass, the force will be same therefore the acceleration

F = 2200 \ N = (1100 \ kg + 400 \ kg)  a \\\\ a = \frac{2200 \ N}{1500 \ kg} = 1.47 \ m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration after adding the masses is 1.47 \ m/s^2.
