<span>c. They help discard some myths about objects in space.
When we learn something new, then we know more stuff,
and that helps us avoid ignorance and superstition.
The REAL question is:

Since the temperature of the gas remains constant in the process, we can use Boyle's law, which states that for a gas transformation at constant temperature, the product between the gas pressure and its volume is constant:

which can also be rewritten as

(1)
where the labels 1 and 2 mark the initial and final conditions of the gas.
In our problem,

,

and

, so the final pressure of the gas can be found by re-arranging eq.(1):

Therefore the correct answer is

Answer:
a. A = 0.735 m
b. T = 0.73 s
c. ΔE = 120 J decrease
d. The missing energy has turned into interned energy in the completely inelastic collision
Explanation:
a.
4 kg * 10 m /s + 6 kg * 0 m/s = 10 kg* vmax
vmax = 4.0 m/s
¹/₂ * m * v²max = ¹/₂ * k * A²
m * v² = k * A² ⇒ 10 kg * 4 m/s = 100 N/m * A²
A = √1.6 m ² = 1.26 m
At = 2.0 m - 1.26 m = 0.735 m
b.
T = 2π * √m / k ⇒ T = 2π * √4.0 kg / 100 N/m = 1.26 s
T = 2π *√ 10 / 100 *s² = 1.99 s
T = 1.99 s -1.26 s = 0.73 s
c.
E = ¹/₂ * m * v²max =
E₁ = ¹/₂ * 4.0 kg * 10² m/s = 200 J
E₂ = ¹/₂ * 10 * 4² = 80 J
200 J - 80 J = 120 J decrease
d.
The missing energy has turned into interned energy in the completely inelastic collision
Then the tangent of angle-Θ is (Ay / Ax).
We can conclude that star A is closer to us than star B.
In fact, the absolute magnitude gives a measure of the brightness of the star, if all the stars are placed at the same distance from Earth. So, it's a measure of the absolute luminosity of the star, indipendently from its distance from us: since the two stars have same absolute magnitude, it means that if they were at same distance from Earth, they would appear with same luminosity. Instead, we see star A brighter than star B, and the only explanation is that star A is closer to Earth than star B (the closer the star A, the brigther it is)
