A particular star cluster contains stars all with the same apparent magnitude of +4. Near the cluster (and at the same distance

from the Earth) is a single star with an apparent magnitude of +1. The star's brightness appears to be the same as the collective brightness of the entire cluster.
How many stars are in this cluster?

5 0

Answer:

3,000 stars.

Explanation:

Subtract the magnitude of the single star from the magnitude of the star cluster.

(+4) - (+1) = +3

Then multiply your answer by 1000

= 3,000 is a stars.

For a given amount of gas at a constant temperature, the volume of a gas varies inversely with its pressure is a statement of __
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

d. Boyle's

Explanation:

Boyle's Law: States that the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional proportional to its pressure, provided temperature remains constant.

Stating this mathematically. this implies that:

V∝1/P

V = k/P, Where k is the constant of proportionality

PV = k

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Where P₁ and P₂ are the initial and final pressure respectively, V₁ and V₂ are the the initial and final volume respectively.

Hence the right option is d. Boyle's

One speaker generates sound waves with amplitude A.
raketka [301]

Answer:

iv) It is 9x bigger than before

Explanation:

As the amplitudes of the new speakers add directly with the original one, taking into account the phase that they have, the composed amplitude of the sound wave is as follows:

At = A + 4A -2A = 3 A

The intensity of the wave, assuming it propagates evenly in all directions, is constant at a given distance from the source, and can be expressed as follows:

I = P/A

where P= Power of the wave source, A= Area (for a point source, is equal to the surface area of a sphere of radius r, where is r is the distance to the source along a straight line)

For a sinusoidal wave, the power is proportional to the square of the amplitude, so the intensity is proportional to the square of the amplitude also.

If the amplitude changes increasing three times, the change in intensity will be proportional to the square of the change in amplitude, i.e., it will be 9 times bigger.

So, the statement iv) is the right one.

An electron is released from rest in a uniform electric field and accelerates to the east at a rate of 4x106m/s2. What is the ma
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force on electron in an electric field E = eE where E is electric field .

acceleration = eE / m where m is mass of electron .

Putting the values

4 x 10⁶ = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x E / 9.1 x 10⁻³¹

E = 22.75 x 10⁻⁶ N/C

The direction of electric field will be towards west ( opposite to east )

because of negative charge on electron .

A 25,000 kg traveling east collides with a 2,000 kg truck standing still on the tracks. After the collision the train and truck
Elis [28]

Answer:

24.084 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum

Total momentum before collision equals to the total momentum after collision

Since momentum=mv where m is mass and v is velocity

M_{truck}V_{truck}=V_{common}*(M_{truck} +M_{standing}) where M_{truck} is the mass of the truck, V_{truck} is velocity of the truck, V_{common} is the common velocity of moving and standing truck after collision and M_{standing} is the mass of the standing truck

Making V_{truck} the subject we obtain

V_{truck}=\frac { V_{common}*(M_{truck} +M_{standing})}{M_{truck}}

Substituting M_{truck} as 25000 Kg, V_{common} as 22.3 m/s, M_{standing} as 2000 Kg we obtain

V_{truck}=\frac { 22.3 m/s *(25000 Kg +2000 Kg)}{25000}= 24.084 m/s

Therefore, assuming no friction and considering that after collision they still move eastwards hence common velocity and initial truck velocities are positive

The truck was moving at 24.084 m/s
