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.

A 0.5 m diameter wagon wheel consists of a thin rim having a mass of 7 kg and six spokes, each with a mass of 1.2 kg. 1.2 kg 7 k

Arte-miy333 [17]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the rim of wheel, m₁ = 7 kg

Mass of one spoke, m₂ = 1.2 kg

Diameter of the wagon, d = 0.5 m

Radius of the wagon, r = 0.25 m

Let I is the the moment of inertia of the wagon wheel for rotation about its axis.

We know that the moment of inertia of the ring is given by :

$I_1=m_1r^2$

$I_1=7\times (0.25)^2=0.437\ kgm^2$

The moment of inertia of the rod about one end is given by :

$I_2=\dfrac{m_2l^2}{3}$

l = r

$I_2=\dfrac{m_2r^2}{3}$

$I_2=\dfrac{1.2\times (0.25)^2}{3}=0.025\ kgm^2$

For 6 spokes, $I_2=0.025\times 6=0.15\ kgm^2$

So, the net moment of inertia of the wagon is :

$I=I_1+I_2$

$I=0.437+0.15=0.587\ kgm^2$

So, the moment of inertia of the wagon wheel for rotation about its axis is $0.587\ kgm^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Which property do metalloids share with nonmetals

laiz [17]

Metalloids are all solid at room temperature. Some metalloids, such as silicon and germanium, can act as electrical conductors under the right conditions, thus they are called semi-conductors. Silicon for example appears lustrous, but is not malleable or ductile (it is brittle - a characteristic of some nonmetals).

What is the net charge of a copper atom if it gains 2 electrons?

Alex_Xolod [135]

If an atom gains electrons, it develops a negative charge equal to the number of electrons gained.
So the net charge on the copper atom which gained 2 electrons will be -2.

Where in the motion is the magnitude of the force from the spring on the object zero? Where in the motion is the magnitude of th

kkurt [141]

Answer:

1. The magnitude of the force from the spring on the object is zero on Equilibrium.

2. The magnitude of the force from the spring on the object is a maximum on The top and bottom.

3. The magnitude of the net force on the object is zero on The Bottom.

4. The magnitude of the force on the object is a maximum on the Top.

Explanation:

1. Because the change in position delta X is zero.

2. Because of delta X.

3. Beacuse, the force of gravity and the force of the spring oppose each other to keep the block at rest, away from the equilibrium position.

4. Because, the force of the spring from compressiom and the force of gravity both act on the mass.
