Borrowing from the tradition of the ancient Greeks, the first ones
who tried to describe the brightness of stars with numbers ...

                        6 magnitudes  =  a ratio of 100 .

In more modern notation . . .

                       1 magnitude = ratio of    (100) ^ (1/6)

                                             =  about  2.154...

                 9.6 magnitudes  =  (100) ^ (9.6/6) 

                                             =  100¹·⁶ 

                                             =   1,584.89  (rounded)

Una tractomula se desplaza con rapidez de 69 km/h. Cuando el conductor ve una vaca atravesada enmedio de la carretera, acciona l
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Los datos que tenemos:

Rapidez: 69km/h

Tiempo que tarda en frenar = 4s.

Distancia inicial entre la tracto-mula y la vaca = 25m

Ok, la ecuación de desaceleración es:

D = (sf - si)/t

sf = velocidad final = 0m/s

si = velocidad inicial = 69km/h

t = tiempo = 4s

D = -69km/h/4s

ok, 1h = 3600s

D = (-69km/s)*1/(4*3600s)  = -0.0048 km/s^2

Entonces la ecuación de aceleración es:

a(t) =  -0.0048 km/s^2

Para la velocidad, integramos sobre el tiempo

v(t) = (-0.0048 km/s^2)*t + v0

donde v0 es la velocidad inicial, en este caso v0 = 69km/3600s = 0.0191km/s  

v(t) =  (-0.0048 km/s^2)*t + 0.0191km/s

Para la posición volvemos a integrar sobre el tiempo, esta vez suponemos la posición inicial igual a cero.

p(t) = (1/2)*(-0.0048 km/s^2)*t^2 + 0.0191m/s*t

Ahora, si p(t=4s) < 25m, esto implica que la tracto-mula no impacto con la vaca.

p(4s) = (1/2)*(-0.0048 km/s^2)*(4s)^2 + 0.0191km/s*4s = 0.038km

y 1km = 1000m

0.038km = 0.038*1000m = 38m

Entonces si, atropello a la vaca.

Trava [24]

Answer:

Their number should increase

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon that causes the ejection of electrons from that metal as light shined onto a metal surface. Only certain frequencies of light can cause the ejection of electrons. However, if the frequency of the incident light is too low then no electrons were ejected even if the intensity of the light was very high. If the frequency of the light was higher then electrons were able to be ejected from the metal surface even if the intensity of the light was very low.

According to the accepted wave theory, light of any frequency will cause electrons to be emitted. Kinetic energy emitted by the electrons depends upon the intensity of light.

According to the accepted wave theory, number of electrons being ejected by the metal should increase

Which of the following is quantitative data? a. Color c. Shape b. Odor d. Volume
Papessa [141]
Hello there! Quantitive data has to do with measurements that can be shown with numbers. Examples of this are things like your height and the length of your arms. With that alone, A and B are eliminated, because those answer choices make no sense. They can't be expressed by numbers and you can't measure colors or odors mathematically. Volume is a way to measure something that CAN be written down by numbers. D is the only answer choice that fits the definition of quantitive data. The answer is D: volume.
