Describe the general characteristics of the nearest stars. (Size, luminosity, color, etc., do not include specific stars)

1 answer:

4 0

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.

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Impulse of force = -80 Ns

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 50kg

Initial velocity = 1.6m/s

Since she glides to a stop, her final velocity equals to zero (0).

Now, we would find the change in velocity.

$Change \; in \; velocity = final \; velocity - initial \; velocity$

Substituting into the equation above;

Change in velocity = 0 - 1.6 = 1.6m/s

$Impulse \; of \; force = mass * change \; in \; velocity$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Impulse \; of \; force = 50 * -1.6$

Impulse of force = -80 Ns

Therefore, the impulse of the force that stops her is -80 Newton-seconds and it has a negative value because it is working in an opposite direction, thus, bringing her to a stop.
