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.

List 3 things that magnetism and static electricity have in common
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

1. Static electricity has two charges magnetism has two poles.

2. Same charges and same poles repel and opposite charges and poles attract.

3. Static electricity is produced by charges(at rest) Magnetism is produced by charges(moving with uniform speed)

what is the period of a sound wave whose wavelength is 20.0m? use values from the book and show all of your work
Lera25 [3.4K]
The wavelength of a sound wave is related to its frequency by the relationship:
f= \frac{v}{\lambda}
where
f is the frequency
v is the speed of the wave
\lambda is the wavelength

The wave in our problem has wavelength of \lambda=20.0 m and speed of v=343 m/s (this is the speed of sound in air), therefore its frequency is
f= \frac{343 m/s}{20.0 m}=17.15 Hz

And the period of the wave is equal to the reciprocal of its frequency:
T= \frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{17.15 Hz}=0.058 s
