Listed following are several fictitious stars with their luminosities given in terms of the Sun's luminosity (LSun) and their di

stances from Earth given in light-years (ly). Rank the stars based on how bright each would appear in the sky as seen from Earth, from brightest to dimmest. If two (or more) stars have the same brightness in the sky, show this equality by dragging one star on top of the other(s)
Enzo: 200 LSun , 20 ly Ferdinand: 400 LSun , 20 ly Nismo: 100 LSun , 8 ly

Answer:

1. Nismo: L_{a}=0.1244

2. Ferdinand: L_{a}=0.0796, Shelby: L_{a}=0.0796

3. Enzo: L_{a}=0.0398

4. Lotus: L_{a}=0.0199

Explanation:

The luminosity of a star is the amount of light it emits from its surface. The luminosity is an intrinsic property of the star. Apparent brightness is how bright the star appears to a detector on Earth. Apparent brightness is not an intrinsic property of the star; it depends on the location of the observer.

As light travels towards an observer, it spreads out and covers a larger area, reducing the intensity. Thus the apparent brightness is inversely proportionate to the square of the distance between the star and observer.

Apparent brightness can be calculated by the formula below:

L_{a}=\frac{L}{4*pi*D^{2}}

Where, L_{a} is apparent brightness, L is luminosity, D is the distance between the star and observer

Enzo: 200 LSun , 20 ly

L_{a}=\frac{L}{4*pi*D^{2}}

L_{a}=\frac{200}{4*pi*20^{2}}

L_{a}=0.0398

Ferdinand: 400 LSun , 20 ly

L_{a}=\frac{L}{4*pi*D^{2}}

L_{a}=\frac{400}{4*pi*20^{2}}

L_{a}=0.0796

Nismo: 100 LSun , 8 ly

L_{a}=\frac{L}{4*pi*D^{2}}

L_{a}=\frac{100}{4*pi*8^{2}}

L_{a}=0.1244

Lotus: 400 LSun , 40 ly

L_{a}=\frac{L}{4*pi*D^{2}}

L_{a}=\frac{400}{4*pi*40^{2}}

L_{a}=0.0199

Shelby: 100 LSun , 10 ly

L_{a}=\frac{L}{4*pi*D^{2}}

L_{a}=\frac{100}{4*pi*10^{2}}

L_{a}=0.0796

Apparent brightness of stars is summarized as below. Absolute values are considered as units are unspecified

Enzo: L_{a}=0.0398

Ferdinand: L_{a}=0.0796

Nismo: L_{a}=0.1244

Lotus: L_{a}=0.0199

Shelby: L_{a}=0.0796

Organized in order of apparent brightness

1. Nismo: L_{a}=0.1244

2. Ferdinand: L_{a}=0.0796, Shelby: L_{a}=0.0796

3. Enzo: L_{a}=0.0398

4. Lotus: L_{a}=0.0199

Explain why a black and white aeronautical map would be difficult to use
Aneli [31]

Aeronautical maps are usually meant to be used by pilots and air aviation professionals in other to navigate or traverse though the sky. With various elements such as vegetation, hills, valleys being depicted by color coded keys or legend. Hence, the absence of color on an aeronautical map make the <em>representation of elements very difficult</em>.

Visual map interpretation is usually aided by the use of legends. The legend hold the key to the elements which are represented on the map. Usually, a combination of colors and shapes makes up the legend and makes map interpretation easy.

Therefore, the absence of various color palletes for representation on a black and white aeronautical map will make it difficult to use.

A 75 kg Spider Man running at 3.0 m/s jumps onto a trash can lid that has a mass of 10kg and that is already moving in the same
QveST [7]
In order to find the final velocity of the skier and the trash can lid, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum, which states that the total momentum of a system remains constant. Mathematically, in this case:
m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₃v₃
Where m₃ and v₃ are the combined mass and velocity.

75*3 + 10*2 = (75 + 10)*v₃
v₃ = 2.88 m/s

The final velocity is 2.88 m/s

A photon detector captures a photon with an energy of 4.29 ✕ 10−19 J. What is the wavelength, in nanometers, of the photon?
serious [3.7K]

Answer :  The wavelength of photon is, 4.63\times 10^{2}nm

Explanation : Given,

Energy of photon = 4.29\times 10^{-19}J

Formula used :

E=h\times \nu

As, \nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}

So, E=h\times \frac{c}{\lambda}

where,

\nu = frequency of photon

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}Js

\lambda = wavelength of photon  = ?

c = speed of light = 3\times 10^8m/s

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

4.29\times 10^{-19}J=(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)\times \frac{(3\times 10^{8}m/s)}{\lambda}

\lambda=4.63\times 10^{-7}m=4.63\times 10^{-7}\times 10^9nm=4.63\times 10^{2}nm

Conversion used : 1nm=10^{-9}m

Therefore, the wavelength of photon is, 4.63\times 10^{2}nm

BRAINLIEST+10PTS: does ozone absorb just harmful UV rays? Or just a random portion of UV?
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:As sunlight passes through the atmosphere, all UVC and most UVB is absorbed by ozone, water vapour, oxygen and carbon dioxide. UVA is not filtered as significantly by the atmosphere. Is there a connection between ozone depletion and UV radiation? Ozone is a particularly effective absorber of UV radiation.
