b) The distance of the red supergiant Betelgeuse is approximately 427 light years. If it were to explode as a supernova, it woul
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

b) Betelgeuse would be \approx 1.43 \cdot 10^{6} times brighter than Sirius

c) Since Betelgeuse brightness from Earth compared to the Sun is \approx 1.37 \cdot 10^{-5} } the statement saying that it would be like a second Sun is incorrect

Explanation:

The start brightness is related to it luminosity thought the following equation:

B = \displaystyle{\frac{L}{4\pi d^2}} (1)

where B is the brightness, L is the star luminosity and d, the distance from the star to the point where the brightness is calculated (measured). Thus:

b) B_{Betelgeuse} = \displaystyle{\frac{10^{10}L_{Sun}}{4\pi (427\ ly)^2}} and B_{Sirius} = \displaystyle{\frac{26L_{Sun}}{4\pi (26\ ly)^2}} where L_{Sun} is the Sun luminosity (3.9 x 10^{26} W) but we don't need to know this value for solving the problem. ly is light years.

Finding the ratio between the two brightness we get:

\displaystyle{\frac{B_{Betelgeuse}}{B_{Sirius}}=\frac{10^{10}L_{Sun}}{4\pi (427\ ly)^2} \times \frac{4\pi (26\ ly)^2}{26L_{Sun}} \approx 1.43 \cdot 10^{6} }

c) we can do the same as in b) but we need to know the distance from the Sun to the Earth, which is 1.581 \cdot 10^{-5}\ ly. Then

\displaystyle{\frac{B_{Betelgeuse}}{B_{Sun}}=\frac{10^{10}L_{Sun}}{4\pi (427\ ly)^2} \times \frac{4\pi (1.581\cdot 10^{-5}\ ly)^2}{1\ L_{Sun}} \approx 1.37 \cdot 10^{-5} }

Notice that since the star luminosities are given with respect to the Sun luminosity we don't need to use any value a simple states the Sun luminosity as the unit, i.e 1. From this result, it is clear that when Betelgeuse explodes it won't be like having a second Sun, it brightness will be 5 orders of magnitude smaller that our Sun brightness.

What is meant by "steam distillation"? choose the correct option from below.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

b is the correct option.

Explanation:

Steam distillation is a distillation in which water is added to the mixture being distilled so that water and the organic compounds vaporize, condense and are collected together. This process is applied for the purification of those materials specially the organic materials which are temperature sensitive. The normal boiling method can not be implemented as these materials starts to decompose on high temperatures. This method has got a lot of applications in industries like petrolium refineries and the oil extraction from some plants etc.

You add 800 ml of water at 20c to 800 ml of water at 80c what is the most likely final temperature of the mixture ?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

d. 50 C

Explanation:

In this problem, we have to add 800 ml of water at 20 Celsius to 800 ml of water at 80 Celsius.

According to the 2nd law of thermodynamics, heat transfers from hot to cold temperature.

The quantity of both the different waters is equal so this makes it very easy. All we have to do is find the mean of both the temperatures:

Final temperature = (20 C + 80 C)/2

= 50 Celsius
