Answer: The hottest star is Archenar( blue) and the coolest star is Betelgeuse

Explanation:

Objects emit radiation that depends exclusively on their temperature. At an ambient temperature, the radiation emitted by an object is in the infrared spectrum (we could only see it with a special camera). If we heat it we will see that it first turns red (whose state we call “red hot”) because it is the lowest and least energetic wavelength of all.

If we continue to heat it, the wavelength that it emits to one with more energy will continue to increase and we will see that it turns yellow and then white. This is a signal that is emitting at all frequencies (but mainly in blue).

If we continue to warm a body that is "white hot", it would emit in the ultraviolet spectrum, with what would become ... black! then we would not see it emits light in the visible spectrum (well, we would see a very faint bluish light corresponding to the tail of the distribution of the spectrum it emits, but the peak of that spectrum would be in the ultraviolet).

How can you determine the rate of a chemical reaction?
DanielleElmas [232]
Take a look at a simple reaction like the one below:

In this reaction some reactant A is turned into some product B. The rate of reaction can be represented by a decrease in concentration of A over time or as the increase of B over time. This is written:

An electron moves with a speed of 8.0×106m/s along the -z-axis. It enters a region where there is a uniform magnetic field B = (
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Acceleration, a=9.36\times 10^{18}\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of electron, v=8\times 10^6\ m/s

Charge on an electron, q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

Mass of electron, m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg

Magnetic field, B=5.5i-3.7j

Magnitude, |B|=\sqrt{5.5^2+(-3.77)^2}=6.66\ T

Magnetic force is given by :

F=qvB

Also, F = ma

a=\dfrac{qvB}{m}

a=\dfrac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 8\times 10^6\times 6.66}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}

a=9.36\times 10^{18}\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the electron is 9.36\times 10^{18}\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

The Force of friction between an object and the surface upon which it is sliding is 12N. The weight of the object is 20N. What i
shtirl [24]

Answer: The coefficient of kinetic friction is μ = 0.6

Explanation:

For an object of mass M, the weight is:

W = M*g

where g is the gravitational acceleration: g = 9.8m/s^2

And the friction force between this object and the surface can be written as:

F = W*μ

where μ is the coefficient of friction (kinetic if the object is moving, and static if the object is not moving, usually the static coefficient is larger)

In this case, the weight is:

W = 20N

And the friction force is:

F = 12N

Replacing these values in the equation for the friction force we get:

12N = 20N*μ

(12N/20N) = μ = 0.6

The coefficient of kinetic friction is μ = 0.6

In science, does acceleration happen when an object is slowing down?
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

According to our principle, when an object is slowing down, the acceleration is in the opposite direction as the velocity. Thus, this object has a negative acceleration. In Example D, the object is moving in the negative direction (i.e., has a negative velocity) and is speeding up.
