Answer:

A and D

Explanation:

A vector magnitude has a magnitude and a direction Then 15 km are a magnitude that could have a direction for example 15 km in north direction.

The same happends with 30 m/s its a magnitude that could have a direction.

In the case of the option B 25 mililiters is a scalar magnitude because is a volumen then we can not define a direction, and the same for the option C 15 hours.

Answer:

Both A and D

Explanation:

Vector magnintude contains both speed and direction and so do these answer choices of 15km and 30m/s

The largest stars are _____ times the mass of the Sun. 10 100 1,000 10,000

Arte-miy333 [17]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

100 times

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The largest stars are 100 times the mass of the Sun.
<u>The giant stars are about 10 to 100 times the radius of the sun</u>, which means they are 100 times brighter than the sun.
<em><u>The largest known star in terms of mass and brightness is known as the Pistol Star. It is believed to be 100 times as massive as our Sun, and 10,000,000 times as bright.</u></em>

Radiation from the Sun The intensity of the radiation from the Sun measured on Earth is 1360 W/m2 and frequency is f = 60 MHz. T

Zina [86]

a) Total power output: $3.845\cdot 10^{26} W$

b) The relative percentage change of power output is 1.67%

c) The intensity of the radiation on Mars is $540 W/m^2$

Explanation:

The intensity of electromagnetic radiation is given by

$I=\frac{P}{A}$

where

P is the power output

A is the surface area considered

In this problem, we have

$I=1360 W/m^2$ is the intensity of the solar radiation at the Earth

The area to be considered is area of a sphere of radius

$r=1.5\cdot 10^{11} m$ (distance Earth-Sun)

Therefore

$A=4\pi r^2 = 4 \pi (1.5\cdot 10^{11})^2=2.8\cdot 10^{23}m^2$

And now, using the first equation, we can find the total power output of the Sun:

$P=IA=(1360)(2.8\cdot 10^{23})=3.845\cdot 10^{26} W$

The energy of the solar radiation is directly proportional to its frequency, given the relationship

$E=hf$

where E is the energy, h is the Planck's constant, f is the frequency.

Also, the power output of the Sun is directly proportional to the energy,

$P=\frac{E}{t}$

where t is the time.

This means that the power output is proportional to the frequency:

$P\propto f$

Here the frequency increases by 1 MHz: the original frequency was

$f_0 = 60 MHz$

so the relative percentage change in frequency is

$\frac{\Delta f}{f_0}\cdot 100 = \frac{1}{60}\cdot 100 =1.67\%$

And therefore, the power also increases by 1.67 %.

In this second case, we have to calculate the new power output of the Sun:

$P' = P + \frac{1.67}{100}P =1.167P=1.0167(3.845\cdot 10^{26})=3.910\cdot 10^{26} W$

Now we want to calculate the intensity of the radiation measured on Mars. Mars is 60% farther from the Sun than the Earth, so its distance from the Sun is

$r'=(1+0.60)r=1.60r=1.60(1.5\cdot 10^{11})=2.4\cdot 10^{11}m$
