Suppose we wanted to represent all of these objects on the 1-to-10-billion scale from Chapter 1, on which the Sun is about the s

ize of a grapefruit. Approximately how large in diameter would the star Aldebaran be on this scale?

Answer:

6.62 m

About 44.14 grapefruits lined in a single line would be the length of the diameter of star Aldebaran

Explanation:

First we know,

Diameter of the Sun - 1.39 million km (Ds)

Diameter of Aldbaran - 61.40 million km (Da)

Thus,

\frac{Da}{Ds} =  \frac{61.40}{1.39} ≈ 44.14

We know that in this scale the size of the sun is that of a grapefruit.

The average diameter of a grapefruit is about 15cm

Thus  Ds in this scale is 15cm

Thus Da in this scale,

Da = Ds *44.14

Da = 0.15 * 44.14 ≈ 6.62 m

Thus the diameter of Aldebaran in this scale is 6.62 m

An electron and a proton are both released from rest, midway between the plates of a charged parallel-plate capacitor. The only
topjm [15]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the potential difference between the middle point and one of the plate be ΔV .

electric potential energy will be lost and it will be converted into kinetic energy .

Electrical potential energy lost = Vq , where q is charge on charge particle .

For proton

ΔV× q = 1/2 M V² ( kinetic energy of proton )

where M is mass and V be final velocity of proton .

For electron

ΔV× q = 1/2 m v² ( kinetic energy of electron  )

where m is mass and v be final velocity of electron . Charges on proton and electron are same in magnitude .

As LHS of both the equation are same , RHS will also be same . That means the kinetic energy of both proton and electron will be same

1/2 M V² =  1/2 m v²

(V / v )² = ( m / M )

(V / v ) = √ ( m / M )

In other words , their velocities  are  inversely proportional to square root of their masses .

Ionic compounds form crystal structures. molecular structures. pure elements. neutral elements
Naddik [55]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Ionic compounds are the compounds whose atoms are combined together by transfer of electrons.

An ionic compound has partial positive charge on the cation and partial negative charge on anion.

For example, NaCl is an ionic compound whose atoms are arranged orderly due to the opposite charges on its atoms.

So, an ionic compound forms a neutral compound but not a neutral element.

Thus, we can conclude that ionic compounds form crystal structures.

a boy looks at the reflection of his digital watch in a plane mirror and thinks the time is 10:11. what is the correct time?
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

11:10 will be the time. reflection causes the object to be flipped when you see its image at the mirror
