Which classification scheme is based on the brightness of a star as it appears to you in the night sky?
anastassius [24]
The apparent magnitude scale is a classification scheme which is based on the brightness of stars. The range of brightness values is from 1 to 6.
The stars which are the most brightest are ranked as number 1 and also called first magnitude stars, stars which are little dimmer than number 1 are ranked as number 2 and also called second magnitude stars. Similarly the most faintest stars are ranked number 6 and also called as the sixth magnitude stars.

The acceleration due to the earth's gravity, in si units, is 9.8 m/s2. in the absence of air friction, a ball is dropped from re
gogolik [260]
We don't know anything about the amount of distance it travels, but that's okay. The only equation we need here is 

velocity(final) = velocity(initial) + acceleration * time
vf = vi + (a * t)

The ball is dropped from rest, so vi = 0 m/s.
We want it so that the ball hits the ground with a final velocity of 60 m/s, so vf = 60 m/s. 
We are given the acceleration due to gravity, a = 9.8 m/s^2.
We are solving for the time, t = ?.

Now we just plug in the values.
vf = vi + (a * t)
60 m/s = 0 m/s + (9.8 m/s^2)*(t)

60 = 9.8t

60 / 9.8 = t

t = 6.122 s

Hopefully this is the right answer.

A 6kg sled sliding on an icy surface experiences a 6-N frictional force exerted by the ice and the air resistive force of 0.6 N.
White raven [17]

The net force on the sled is 6.6 N pointing backwards, opposite to the direction it's sliding. That's why it's slowing down, and will eventually stop.
