Answer:

L_A = 9 L_B

Explanation:

The formula that relates the luminosity of a star (L) to its radius (R) and the temperature (T) is

L=\frac{R^2}{T^4}

For star B, we can write:

L_B=\frac{R_B^2}{T_B^4}

For star A, we have

T_A = 2 T_B\\R_A = 12 R_B

So the luminosity of star A is

L_A=\frac{R_A^2}{T_A^4}=\frac{(12 R_B)^2}{(2 T_B)^4}=\frac{144 R_B^2}{16 T_B^4}=9\frac{R_B^2}{T_B^4}=9 L_B

Suppose a rock is dropped off a cliff with an initial speed of 0m/s. What is the rocks speed after 5 secounds, in m/s, if it enc
Tasya [4]

Answer:

The rock's speed after 5 seconds is 98 m/s.

Explanation:

A rock is dropped off a cliff.

It had an initial velocity of 0 m/s. And now it is moving downwards under the influence of gravitational force with the gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/s².

Speed after 5 seconds = V

We know that acceleration = average speed/time

In our case,

g = ((0+V)/2)/5

9.8*5 = V/2

=> V = 2*9.8*5

V = 98 m/s

Explain the process of synaptic transmission, beginning with the neurotransmitters at the axon terminal of the presynaptic cell
nydimaria [60]

The synapse is actually the link between 2 neurons. Now when an action potential contacts the synaptic knob of a neuron, the voltage-gate calcium channels are unlocked, resulting in an influx of positively charged calcium ions into the cell. This makes the vesicles containing neurotransmitters, for example acetylcholine, to travel towards the pre-synaptic membrane. When the vesicle arrives at the membrane, the contents are released into the synaptic cleft by exocytosis. Neurotransmitters disperse across the space, down to its concentration gradient, up until it reaches the post-synaptic membrane, where it connects to the correct neuroreceptors. Connecting to the neuroreceptors results in depolarisation in the post-syanaptic neuron as voltage-gated sodium channels are also opened, and the positively charged sodium ions travel into the cell. When adequate neurotransmitters bind to neuroreceptors, the post-synaptic membrane overcame the threshold level of depolarisation and an action potential is made and the impulse is transmitted.

98 Points and brainlyest for 5 Science questions please I need it doe before 2:30 ET!!!
Marina CMI [18]
Picture #1:
GPE = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)
GPE = (2 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (40 m) = 784 joules

KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed²)
KE = (1/2) (2 kg) (5 m/s)²
KE = (1 kg) (25 m²/s²)  =  25 joules

Picture #2:
KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed²)
KE = (1/2) (2 kg) (10 m/s)²
KE = (1 kg) (100 m²/s²)  =  100 joules

Picture #3:
GPE = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)
GPE = (20 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (2 m) = 392 joules

KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed²)
KE = (1/2) (20 kg) (5 m/s)²
KE = (10 kg) (25 m²/s²)  =  250 joules

Picture #4:
GPE = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)
98 joules = (1 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (height)
Height = (98 joules) / (1 kg x 9.8 m/s²)
Height = 10 meters

Picture #5:
GPE = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)
39,200 Joules = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²) x (20 m)
Mass = (39,200 joules) / (9.8 m/s² x 20 m)
Mass = 200 kg

Do heavier objects fall more slowly than lighter objects?
vredina [299]

Depending on the surface area and weight, either can fall slower.

<u>Explanation: </u>

If you were to drop a feather and a brick off a building at the same height, the brick would reach the ground first. This is due to air resistance and how it slows the feather down compared to the brick. The surface area of the feather creates more resistance compared to its weight, therefore it hits the ground slower. It really all depends on the surface area, weight and the air resistance it creates.

If all air resistance were to be removed, then what would happen is that the two objects would fall and reach the ground at the same time. This is because the objects are in free fall, and because they are in free fall, the two objects would be falling at an acceleration of 9.81 m/s². This is true for all objects in free fall.
