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)

The change in momentum of an object is equal to the ____________ that acts on it.

meriva

Answer : The change in momentum of an object is equal to the impulse that acts on it.

Explanation :

Change in momentum : The change in momentum of an object is the product of the mass and the change in velocity of an object.

The formula of change in momentum is,

$\Delta p=m\times \Delta v$

Impulse : An impulse of an object is the product of the force applied on an object and the change in time. Impulse is also equivalent to the change in momentum of an object.

$J=F\times \Delta t$

Proof :

$J=F\times \Delta t\\\\J=(m\times a)\times \Delta t\\\\J=m\times (a\times \Delta t)\\\\J=m\times \Delta v=\Delta p$

Hence, the change in momentum of an object is equal to the impulse that acts on it.
