At what distance must a star be to have its apparent magnitude equal to its absolute magnitude?

1 answer:

6 0

10 parsecs<span>Another way to look at this is that the apparent magnitude (brightness from true distance) is brighter than the absolute magnitude (brightness from 10 parsecsaway). So Ross 128 must be closer than 10 parsecs, making star look brighter than it "really" is.</span>

Answer:

The maximum mass that can fall on the mattress without exceeding the maximum compression distance is 16.6 kg

Explanation:

Hi there!

Due to conservation of energy, the potential energy (PE) of the mass at a height of 3.32 m will be transformed into elastic potential energy (EPE) when it falls on the mattress:

PE = EPE

m · g · h = 1/2 k · x²

Where:

m = mass.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

h = height.

k = spring constant.

x = compression distance

The maximum compression distance is 0.1289 m, then, the maximum elastic potential energy will be the following:

EPE =1/2 k · x²

EPE = 1/2 · 65144 N/m · (0.1289 m)² = 541.2 J

Then, using the equation of gravitational potential energy:

PE = m · g · h = 541.2 J

m = 541.2 J/ g · h

m = 541.2 kg · m²/s² / (9.8 m/s² · 3.32 m)

m = 16.6 kg

The maximum mass that can fall on the mattress without exceeding the maximum compression distance is 16.6 kg.

Answers:

a) $65.075 kgm/s$

b) $10.526 s$

c) $61.82 N$

Explanation:

<h3>a) Impulse delivered to the ball</h3>

According to the Impulse-Momentum theorem we have the following:

$I=\Delta p=p_{2}-p_{1}$ (1)

Where:

$I$ is the impulse

$\Delta p$ is the change in momentum

$p_{2}=mV_{2}$ is the final momentum of the ball with mass $m=0.685 kg$ and final velocity (to the right) $V_{2}=57 m/s$

$p_{1}=mV_{1}$ is the initial momentum of the ball with initial velocity (to the left) $V_{1}=-38 m/s$

So:

$I=\Delta p=mV_{2}-mV_{1}$ (2)

$I=\Delta p=m(V_{2}-V_{1})$ (3)

$I=\Delta p=0.685 kg (57 m/s-(-38 m/s))$ (4)

$I=\Delta p=65.075 kg m/s$ (5)

This time can be calculated by the following equations, taking into account the ball undergoes a maximum compression of approximately $1.0 cm=0.01 m$ :
