Answer:

remains the same, but the apparent brightness is decreased by a factor of four.

Explanation:

A star is a giant astronomical or celestial object that is comprised of a luminous sphere of plasma, binded together by its own gravitational force.

It is typically made up of two (2) main hot gas, Hydrogen (H) and Helium (He).

The luminosity of a star refers to the total amount of light radiated by the star per second and it is measured in watts (w).

The apparent brightness of a star is a measure of the rate at which radiated energy from a star reaches an observer on Earth per square meter per second.

The apparent brightness of a star is measured in watts per square meter.

If the distance between us (humans) and a star is doubled, with everything else remaining the same, the luminosity remains the same, but the apparent brightness is decreased by a factor of four (4).

Some of the examples of stars are;

- Canopus.

- Sun (closest to the Earth)

- Betelgeuse.

- Antares.

- Vega.

The distance from Abdullah's house to his school is 2.4km. Abdulla takes 0.6h to go to school on his cycle but takes only 0.4h t
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

The average speed can be calculated as the quotient between the distance travelled and the time needed to travel that distance.

To go to the school, he travels 2.4 km in 0.6 hours, then here the average speed is:

s = (2.4km)/(0.6 hours) = 4 km/h

To return to his home, he travels 2.4km again, this time in only 0.4 hours, then here the average speed is:

s' = (2.4 km)/(0.4 hours) = 6 km/h.

Now, if we want the total average speed (of going and returning) we have that the total distance traveled is two times the distance between his home and school, and the total time is 0.6 hours plus 0.4 hours, then the average speed is:

S = (2*2.4 km)/(0.6 hours + 0.4 hours)

S = (4.8km)/(1 h) = 4.8 km/h

An electron enters a region with a speed of 5×10^6m/s and is slowed down at the rate of 1.25×10^-4m/s². How far does the electro
Mashutka [201]

1) The distance travelled by the electron is 1\cdot 10^{17} m

2) The time taken is 4.0\cdot 10^{10}s

Explanation:

1)

The electron in this problem is moving by uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration), so we can use the following suvat equation

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance travelled

For the electron in this problem,

u=5\cdot 10^6 m/s is the initial velocity

v = 0 is the final velocity (it comes to a stop)

a=-1.25\cdot 10^{-4} m/s^2 is the acceleration

Solving for s, we find the distance travelled:

s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{0-(5\cdot 10^6)^2}{2(-1.25\cdot 10^{-4})}=1\cdot 10^{17} m

2)

The total time taken for the electron in its motion can also be found by using another suvat equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time taken

Here we have

u=5\cdot 10^6 m/s

v = 0

a=-1.25\cdot 10^{-4} m/s^2

And solving for t, we find the time taken:

t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{0-5\cdot 10^6}{-1.25\cdot 10^{-4}}=4.0\cdot 10^{10}s

A proton that has a mass m and is moving at 270 m/s in the i hat direction undergoes a head-on elastic collision with a stationa
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

V_p = 267.258 m/s

V_n = 38.375 m/s      

Explanation:

using the law of the conservation of the linear momentum:

P_i = P_f

where P_i is the inicial momemtum and P_f is the final momentum

the linear momentum is calculated by the next equation

P = MV

where M is the mass and V is the velocity.

so:

P_i = m(270 m/s)

P_f = mV_P + M_nV_n

where m is the mass of the proton and V_p is the velocity of the proton after the collision, M_n is the mass of the nucleus and V_n is the velocity of the nucleus after the collision.

therefore, we can formulate the following equation:

m(270 m/s) = mV_p + 14mV_n

then, m is cancelated and we have:

270 = V_p + 14V_n

This is a elastic collision, so the kinetic energy K is conservated. Then:

K_i = \frac{1}{2}MV^2 = \frac{1}{2}m(270)^2

and

Kf = \frac{1}{2}mV_p^2 +\frac{1}{2}(14m)V_n^2

then,

\frac{1}{2}m(270)^2 =  \frac{1}{2}mV_p^2 +\frac{1}{2}(14m)V_n^2

here we can cancel the m and get:

\frac{1}{2}(270)^2 =  \frac{1}{2}V_p^2 +\frac{1}{2}(14)V_n^2

now, we have two equations and two incognites:

270 = V_p + 14V_n  (eq. 1)

\frac{1}{2}(270)^2 =  \frac{1}{2}V_p^2 +\frac{1}{2}(14)V_n^2

in the second equation, we have:

36450 =  \frac{1}{2}V_p^2 +\frac{1}{2}(14)V_n^2  (eq. 2)

from this last equation we solve for V_n as:

V_n = \sqrt{\frac{36450-\frac{1}{2}V_p^2 }{\frac{1}{2} } }

and replace in the other equation as:

270 = V_p + 14\sqrt{\frac{36450-\frac{1}{2}V_p^2 }{\frac{1}{2} } }

so,

V_p = -267.258 m/s

Vp is negative because the proton go in the -i hat direction.

Finally, replacing this value on eq. 1 we get:

V_n = \frac{270+267.258}{14}

V_n = 38.375 m/s

What happens to gas that is not used
kvv77 [185]
the engine won't start or it sputters when it should be running perfectly. if the gasoline is old and stale, it will have lost a portion of its volatility. the lighter components of the gasoline (remember, gasoline is a mixture of different hydrocarbons) have probably evaporated off or disappeared.
