Answer: The five general characteristics of the nearest stars are the brightness, color, surface temperature, size, and mass.

Explanation:

The mass of a star can be described as being measured with our sun at 1 solar mass. One star can equal the size of our sun. There is one star named, Rigel, that is bigger than the Earths sun. Each star will vary in its density.

The size of the star, as stated above, can be the size of our sun and sometimes larger. The size is measured by solar radii.

Stars vary in their temp. They range anywhere from -273.15 degrees Celsius to 50,000 K. The temp is based on the Kelvin scale.

The stars brightness are always based on luminosity and magnitude.

The stars colors will vary and is based on the temperature of the surface of the star. Some stars are red in color, white in color, and some even have a bluish color.

a woman walks south at a speed of 2.0mph for 60 minutes. She then turns around and walks north at a distance of 3000m in 25 minu
TiliK225 [7]

When a  woman walks south at a speed of 2.0mph for 60 minutes. She then turns around and walks north at a distance of 3000m in 25 minutes. then the woman's average speed during her entire motion would be  73.15 meters /minute.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

The total distance covered by any object per unit of time is known as speed.

the mathematical expression for speed is given by

speed = total; distance /total time

As given in the problem a woman walks south at a speed of 2.0mph for 60 minutes

60 min = 1 hour

1 mile = 1.60934 km

The distance covered by her southwards  =  speed ×time

                                                                      =2 mph × 60 minutes

                                                                      = 3.218 km

She then turns around and walks north at a distance of 3000m in 25 minutes

The distance covered northward is 3000m

speed = total distance /total time

          =(3218 +3000) /(60+25)

          =73.15 meters /minutes

Thus, The average speed of the woman would be 73.15 meters /minute.

The radius of curvature of both sides of a converging lens is 18 cm. One side of the lens is coated withsilver so that the inner
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

n = 1.4

Explanation:

Given,

R1 = 18 cm, R2 = -18 cm

From lens makers formula

1/f = (n - 1)(1/18 + 1/18) = (n-1)/9

f = 9/(n-1)

Power, P = 1/f ( in m) = (n-1)/0.09

Now, this lens is in with conjunction with a concave mirror which then can be thought of as to be in conjunction with another thin lens

Power of concave mirror = P' = 1/f ( in m) = 2/R = 2/0.18 = 1/0.09

Net power of the combination = 2P + P' = 2(n-1)/0.09 + 1/0.09 = 1/0.05

n = 1.4

We know that the law of conservation of energy states that energy can not be created or destroyed. It only changes form. Conside
Pavel [41]

The conservation of energy always holds true even when not clearly observable in machines that are less than 100% efficient. More often than not a machine will suffer energy losses (e.g. consider for a cooling fan: friction between the rotating blades, drag resistance in the air the fan is pushing around, resistance in the wire, and heat radiating/conducting away from the circuitry).

An N-slit system has slit separation d and slit width a. Plane waves with intensity I and wavelength O are incident normally on
Leokris [45]

Answer:

E. d and O

Explanation:

"Light passing through a single slit forms a diffraction pattern somewhat different from those formed by double slits or diffraction gratings".

According to Huygens’s principle, "for each element of the wavefront in the slit emits wavelets. These are like rays that start out in phase and head in all directions. (Each ray is perpendicular to the wavefront of a wavelet.) Assuming the screen is very far away compared with the size of the slit, rays heading toward a common destination are nearly parallel".

The destructive interference for a single slit is given by:

d sin \theta = m\lambda , m=1,-1,2,-2,3,...

Where

d is the slit width

\lambda=O is the light's wavelength

\theta is the angle relative to the original direction of the light

m is the order od the minimum

I represent the intensity

When the intensity and the wavelength are incident normally the angular as we can see on the expression above the angular separation just depends of the distance d and the wavelength O.
