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)

4) A racing car undergoing constant acceleration covers 140 m in 3.6 s. (a) If it’s moving at 53 m/s at the end of this interval
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer

given,

distance = 140 m

time, t = 3.6 s

moving speed = 53 m/s

a) distance = (average velocity) x time

    D = \dfrac{v_0 + v_1}{2}\times t

    140 = \dfrac{v_0 + 53}{2}\times 3.6

       v₀ + 53 = 77.78

        v₀ = 24.78 m/s or 25 m/s

b) a = \dfrac{v-u}{t}

   a = \dfrac{53-25}{3.6}

         a = 7.8 m/s²

using equation of motion

  v₀² = v₁² + 2 a s

  53² = 0²+ 2 x 7.8 x s

  s = 180 m

An object with an initial velocity of 10 m/s accelerates at a rate of 3.5 m/s2 for 8 seconds. How far will it have traveled duri
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Distance, d = 192 meters

Explanation:

We have,

Initial velocity of an object is 10 m/s

Acceleration of the object is 3.5 m/s²

Time, t = 8 s

We need to find the distance travelled by the object during that time. Second equation of motion gives the distance travelled by the object. It is given by :

d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

d=10\times 8+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3.5\times 8^2\\\\d=192\ m

So, the distance travelled by the object is 192 meters.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

x=0.154kg

Explanation:

(x*L)+(0.5kg*4200*50)+(x*4200*(-50)=0

(x*333 000J/kg*c)+(0.5kg*4200J/kg*C*(-40C))+(x*4200J/kg*C*50C)=0
