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.

the kinetic energy of an object with mass m moving with a velocity of 5 m/s is 25 j what will be its kinetic energy when its vel

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

100 J, 225 J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

In this problem, the initial kinetic energy of the object is

K = 25 J

Then, the velocity is doubled, which means

v' = 2v

Therefore, the new kinetic energy will be

$K'=\frac{1}{2}m(2v)^2 = 4(\frac{1}{2}mv^2)=4K$

Therefore, the kinetic energy has quadrupled:

$K' = 4(25)=100 J$

Later, the velocity is tripled, which means

v'' = 3v

Therefore, the new kinetic energy will be

$K''=\frac{1}{2}m(3v)^2 = 9(\frac{1}{2}mv^2)=9K$

Therefore, the kinetic energy has increased by a factor of 9:

$K' = 9(25)=225 J$

The spring of a toy car stores 10 J of potential energy. Only 8 J of energy changes to kinetic energy as the car moves. What hap

son4ous [18]

Answer:

It has been converted into thermal energy due to friction

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but only transformed from one form into another.

Applied to this problem, it means that the total initial energy of the spring-toy system must be conserved.

Therefore:

- At the beginning, the total energy stored in the spring is 10 J

- After the toy is released, the total energy must still be 10 J.

In reality, we are told that the kinetic energy of the car is only 8 J. The other 2 J have not been destroyed, but they have been converted into thermal energy, due to the presence of frictional forces that act against the motion of the toy car.

How do you do this question? Please include free body diagrams and clear explanation, so I can understand.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram for each disc.

Disc A has three forces acting on it: 86.5 N up, T₁ down, and Wa down.

∑F = ma

86.5 N − T₁ − Wa = 0

Wa = 86.5 N − T₁

ma × 9.8 m/s² = 86.5 N − 55.6 N

ma = 3.2 kg

Disc B has three forces acting on it: T₁ up, T₂ down, and Wb down.

∑F = ma

T₁ − T₂ − Wb = 0

Wb = T₁ − T₂

mb × 9.8 m/s² = 55.6 N − 36.5 N

mb = 1.9 kg

Disc C has three forces acting on it: T₂ up, T₃ down, and Wc down.

∑F = ma

T₂ − T₃ − Wc = 0

Wc = T₂ − T₃

mc × 9.8 m/s² = 36.5 N − 9.6 N

mc = 2.7 kg

Disc D has two forces acting on it: T₃ up and Wd down.

∑F = ma

T₃ − Wd = 0

Wd = T₃

md × 9.8 m/s² = 9.6 N

md = 0.98 kg
