Rigel’s luminosity is about _____ times the sun’s luminosity.

Physics
1 answer:
anzhelika [568]3 years ago
5 0

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.

If he leaves the ramp with a speed of 31.0 m/s and has a speed of 29.5 m/s at the top of his trajectory, determine his maximum h
raketka [301]

Answer:

The maximum height reached is 4.63 m.

Explanation:

Given:

Initial speed of the man (u) = 31.0 m/s

Speed at the top of trajectory (u_x) = 29.5 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

When the man reaches the top of the trajectory, the vertical component of velocity becomes zero and hence only horizontal component of velocity acts on him.

Also, since there is no net force acting in the horizontal direction, the acceleration is zero in the horizontal direction from Newton's second law. Thus, the horizontal component of velocity always remains the same.

So, speed at the top of trajectory is nothing but the horizontal component of initial velocity.

Now, initial velocity can be rewritten in terms of its components as:

u^2=u_x^2+u_y^2

Where, u_x\ and\ u_y are the initial horizontal and vertical velocities of the man.

Now, plug in the given values and simplify. This gives,

(31.0)^2=(29.5)^2+u_y^2\\\\961=870.25+u_y^2\\\\u_y^2=961-870.25\\\\u_y^2=90.75\ m^2/s^2--------1

Now, we know that, for a projectile motion, the maximum height is given as:

H=\frac{u_y^2}{2g}

Plug in the value from equation (1) and 9.8 for 'g' to solve for 'H'. This gives,

H=\frac{90.75}{2\times 9.8}\\\\H=4.63\ m

Therefore, the maximum height reached is 4.63 m.

Why are TV shows nowadays so boring?
Anna [14]

The answer is a matter of opinion, and you're going to get different answers
from different people.  Here's <u>my</u> take on it:

The writers, producers and advertising sponsors of these shows certainly
don't think they're boring.  And <em><u>definitely</u></em> neither do the TV networks that
decide which ones to broadcast. 

I'm not trying to say "The experts don't think they're boring, so you must
be wrong".  I'm trying to say that different people have different opinions
about the same shows, and in <em>your</em> case,<em> you</em> find them boring.

My conclusion is this: 
I think you're finding TV shows boring nowadays because you're growing
as a person.  You've grown, developed, and matured to the point where
you're above the level of audience that the shows are pitched for.  That's
a very good thing !

You're sad because you used to get pleasure and entertainment from TV,
and now it doesn't give you those things.  That's like losing an old friend,
that you used to have such fun playing with, but he just doesn't do it for
you any more.

Now that you've grown up, you've made new friends.  With them, you do
things that you wouldn't even understand with your younger friends.  And
you develop new interests, like ... I don't know ... books, movies, hobbies,
your church, your profession, learning new things, developing new skills,
exercising your brain, writing, volunteer work, ham radio, building fine
furniture, singing, learning to write music, raising tropical plants, sculpture,
politics ... whatever turns you on.  Some people never grow past the stage
where staring at the tube is all they need in life, because they don't have
what it takes to be interested in anything else.  Those are the people that
TV is aimed at.  But you have more, and that's why TV isn't enough for you.

There are other possible reasons why TV bores you.  But until I know more
about you, I think it's a very, very good sign.

Assume that a lightning bolt can be modeled as a long, straight line of current. If 16 C of charge passes by a point in 1.50 x 1
Reptile [31]

Answer:

B = 7.9012*10^{-5}T

Explanation:

To solve the problem, the concepts related to the magnetic field and the current produced in a lightning bolt are necessary.

The current is defined by the load due to time, that is to say

I= \frac{q}{t}

Where,

q= Charge

t = time

So the current can be expressed as:

I = \frac{16}{1.5*10^{-3}}

I = 10666.67A

Once the current is found it is now possible to find the magnetic field, as this is given by the equation,

B =\frac{\mu_0}{2\pi}\frac{I}{r}

Where,

\mu_0 =Permeability Constant

I= Current

r= radius

Replacing the values we have

B=\frac{4\pi*10^{-7}}{2\pi}(\frac{10666.67}{27})

B = 7.9012*10^{-5}T
