Answer:

100,000 times

Explanation:

Luminosity is the measure of brightness of a star. It is measured by examining the radiant energy emitted by the stars per second. Rigel's radius is about 80 times that of the Sun's radius. Therefore, its luminosity is about 100,000 times the sun’s luminosity.

PLS ANSWERRR What are the main differences between the carbon flows 300 years ago and today?

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

reservoirs and flows of the carbon cycle and how human activities

explication :

Today, the carbon cycle is changing. Humans are moving more carbon into the atmosphere from other parts of the Earth system. More carbon is moving to the atmosphere when fossil fuels, like coal and oil, are burned. More carbon is moving to the atmosphere as humans get rid of forests by burning the trees.

How many joules of energy are required to accelerate one kilogram of mass from rest to a velocity of 0.866c?

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

the amount of energy needed is 1.8 x 10¹⁷ J.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object, m₀ = 1 kg

velocity of the object, v = 0.866 c

By physics convection, c is the speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

The energy needed is calculated as follows;

E = Mc²

As the object approaches the speed of light, the change in the mass of the object is given by Einstein's relativity formula;

$M = \frac{M_0}{\sqrt{1- \frac{v^2}{c^2} } } \\\\ M = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1- \frac{(0.866c)^2}{c^2} } }\\\\ M = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1- \frac{0.74996c^2}{c^2} } }\\\\ M = \frac{1}{\sqrt{0.25} } \\\\ M = 2 \ kg$

The energy required is calculated as;

E = 2 x (3 x 10⁸)²

E = 1.8 x 10¹⁷ J

Therefore, the amount of energy needed is 1.8 x 10¹⁷ J.

a toy car travels from A to B at constant speed 30km/hr and without stopping at B return A at constant speed v. if the average s

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Speed BA = 18 km/hr.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Speed AB = 30km/hr

Speed BA = x km/hr

Average speed = 24 km/hr

To find the value of x;

Average speed = (Speed AB + Speed BA)/2

Substituting into the equation, we have

24 = (30 + x)/2

48 = 30 + x

x = 48 - 30

x = 18 km/hr

During a very quick stop, a car decelerates at 28.4 rad/s?. Assume the tires initially rotated in the positive direction and rad

Damm [24]

Answer:

a) 24

b) 3.3 sec

c) 29.8 m/s

d) 48.85 m

Explanation:

α = angular acceleration = - 28.4 rad/s²

r = radius of the tire = 0.32 m

w₀ = initial angular velocity = 93 rad/s

w = final angular velocity = 0 rad/s

θ = angular displacement

Using the equation

w² = w₀² + 2αθ

0² = 93² + 2 (- 28.4) θ

θ = 152.3 rad

n = number of revolutions

Number of revolutions are given as

$n = \frac{\theta }{2\pi }$

$n = \frac{152.3 }{2(3.14) }$

$n = 24$

t = time taken to stop

using the equation

w = w₀ + αt

0 = 93 + (- 28.4) t

t = 3.3 sec

v₀ = initial velocity of the car

initial velocity of the car is given as

v₀ = r w₀ = (0.32) (93) = 29.8 m/s

v = final velocity = 0 m/s

a = linear acceleration = rα = (0.32) (- 28.4) = - 9.09 m/s²

d = distance traveled by car before stopping

Using the equation

v² = v₀² + 2 a d

0² = 29.8² + 2 (- 9.09) d

d = 48.85 m
