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.

Answer:

While a body is said to be in motion if it changes its position with respect to immediate surroundings.

A body is said to be in uniform motion if it covers equal distances in equal interval of time.

A body is said to be in non-uniform motion if it covers unequal distances in equal interval of time or vice-versa

A technician wishes to determine the wavelength of the light in a laser beam. To do so, she directs the beam toward a partition
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

λ = 5.656 x 10⁻⁷ m = 565.6 nm

Explanation:

Using the formula of fringe spacing from the Young's Double Slit experiment, which is given as follows:

\Delta x = \frac{\lambda L}{d}\\\\\lambda = \frac{\Delta x\ d}{L}

where,

λ = wavelength = ?

Δx = fringe spacing = 1.6 cm = 0.016 m

L = Distance between slits and screen = 4.95 m

d = slit separation = 0.175 mm = 0.000175 m

Therefore,

\lambda = \frac{(0.016\ m)(0.000175\ m)}{4.95\ m}\\\\

<u>λ = 5.656 x 10⁻⁷ m = 565.6 nm</u>

A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle
ra1l [238]

Answer:

a) t = 4.16 s

b) x = 141.51 m

Explanation:

Given

v = 21.5 m/s

x0 = 52.0 m

a = 6.0 m/s²

a) Motorcycle

x = v0*t + (a*t²/2)

x = 21.5t + (6*t²/2)

x = 21.5t + 3t²   <em>(I)</em>

Car

x = x0 + v0*t

x = 52 + 21.5t  <em>(II)</em>

<em />

then we can apply <em>I = II</em>

21.5t + 3t² = 52 + 21.5t

⇒ 3t² = 52

⇒ t = 4.16 s

b) We can use <em>I</em> or <em>II</em>, then

x = 52 + 21.5*(4.16)

⇒ x = 141.51 m

A baseball is moving at a speed of 2.2m/s when it strikes the catchers glove. The paddding of the glove is compressed by 24mm be
Andre45 [30]

Average acceleration of the baseball: -101 m/s^2

Explanation:

Since the motion of the baseball is a uniformly accelerated motion, we can use the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the displacement of the object

For the baseball in this problem, we have:

u = 2.2 m/s is the initial velocity

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

s = 24 mm = 0.024 m is the displacement of the ball while decelerating

Therefore, we can solve for a to find the acceleration:

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\frac{0-2.2^2}{2(0.024)}=-101 m/s^2

where the negative sign means the baseball is slowing down.
