Answer:

a. apparent magnitude

Explanation:

Apparent magnitude is a measure of the brightness of a star (that is, amount of light) received on Earth. Star's apparent magnitude depends on:

star luminosity

star distance from Earth

extinction of the light, for example, caused by interstellar dust.

Apparent magnitude because Apparent is kinda like when something is obvious. So that's how I think of it.

Suppose you have two solid bars, both with square cross-sections of 1 cm2. They are both 24.6 cm long, but one is made of copper

vodka [1.7K]

Explanation:

Expression to calculate thermal resistance for iron ( $R_{I}$ ) is as follows.

$R_{I} = \frac{L_{I}}{k_{I} \times A_{I}}$

where, $L_{I}$ = length of the iron bar

$k_{I}$ = thermal conductivity of iron

$A_{I}$ = Area of cross-section for the iron bar

Thermal resistance for copper ( $R_{c}$ ) = \frac{L_{c}}{k_{c} \times A_{c}}[/tex]

where, $L_{c}$ = length of copper bar

$k_{c}$ = thermal conductivity of copper

$A_{c}$ = Area of cross-section for the copper bar

Now, expression for the transfer of heat per unit cell is as follows.

Q = $\frac{(100^{o} - 0^{o}}{\frac{L_{I}}{k_{I}.A_{I}} + \frac{L_{c}}{k_{c}.A_{c}}}$

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

Q = $\frac{(100^{o} - 0^{o})}{\frac{L_{I}}{k_{I}.A_{I}} + \frac{L_{c}}{k_{c}.A_{c}}}$

= $\frac{(100^{o} - 0^{o})}{21 \times 10^{-2} m[\frac{1}{73 \times 10^{-4}m^{2}} + \frac{1}{386 \times 10^{-4}m^{2}}}$

= 2.92 Joule

It is known that heat transfer per unit time is equal to the power conducted through the rod. Hence,

P = $\frac{Q}{T}$

Here, T is 1 second so, power conducted is equal to heat transferred.

So, P = 2.92 watt

Thus, we can conclude that 2.92 watt power will be conducted through the rod when it reaches steady state.

The average speed between earth and the sun is 1.50 x10^8 km. Calculate the average speed of the Earth in its orbit in kilometer

cluponka [151]

Answer:

The average speed of the earth in its orbit is $29.86km/s$

Explanation:

The average distance between the Earth and the Sun is $1.50x10^{8} km$ .

The average speed of the earth in its orbit can be found by the next equation :

$v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T}$ (1)

Where r is the radius and T is the period.

In this case, the orbit of the Earth can be considered as a circle

( $r = 1.50x10^{8}km$ ) instead of an ellipse.

It takes 1 year to the Earth to make one revolution around the Sun. Therefore, its period will be 365.25 days.

Notice that to express the period in terms of seconds, the following is needed:

$365.25d . \frac{86400s}{1d}$ ⇒ $31557600s$

Then, equation 1 can be used:

$v = \frac{2 \pi (1.50x10^{8}km)}{31557600s}$

$v = 29.86km/s$

The pupil of the human eye can vary in diameter from 2.00 mm in bright light to 8.00 mm in dim light. The eye has a focal length

Zarrin [17]

The indicated data are of clear understanding for the development of Airy's theory. In optics this phenomenon is described as an optical phenomenon in which The Light, due to its undulatory nature, tends to diffract when it passes through a circular opening.

The formula used for the radius of the Airy disk is given by,

$y_r=1.22\frac{\lambda f}{d}$
