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.

Which has more kinetic energy, a 4.0 kg bowling ball moving at 1.0 m/s or a 1.0 kg

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of bocce ball is more.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a bowling ball, m₁ = 4 kg

Speed of the bowling ball, v₁ = 1 m/s

Mass of bocce ball, m₂ = 1 kg

Speed of bocce ball, v₂ = 4 m/s

We need to say which has more kinetic energy.

The kinetic energy of an object is given by :

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Kinetic energy of the bowling ball,

$E_1=\dfrac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2\\\\E_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4\times (1)^2\\\\E_1=2\ J$

The kinetic energy of the bocce ball,

$E_2=\dfrac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2\\\\E_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1\times (4)^2\\\\E_2=8\ J$

So, the kinetic energy of bocce ball is more than that of bowling ball.

Two samples of water are mixed together.

horrorfan [7]

Let the cold water go up x degrees.

Let the hot water go down 100 - x degrees.

The formula for heat exchange is m*c*delta t

Givens

Ice

deltat = x

m = 0.50 kg

c = 4.18

Hot water

deltat = 100 - x

m = 1.5 kg

c = 4.18

Formula

The heat up = heat down

0.50 * c * x = 1.5 * c * (100 - x) Divide both sides by c

Solution

0.50 *x = 1.5*(100 - x) Remove the brackets.

0.5x = 150 - 1.5x Add 1.5x to both sides.

0.5x + 1.5x = 150 - 1.5x + 1.5x Combine like terms

2x = 150 Divide by 2

x = 75

If a person weighs 818 N on earth and 5320 N on the surface of a nearby planet, what is the acceleration due to gravity on that

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

$g'=63.74\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of the person on Earth, W = 818 N

Weight of a person is given by the following formula as :

$W=mg$

g is the acceleration due to gravity on earth

$m=\dfrac{W}{g}$

$m=\dfrac{818\ N}{9.8\ m/s^2}$

m = 83.46 kg

The mass of an object is same everywhere. It does not depend on the location.

Let W' is the weight of the person on the surface of a nearby planet, W' = 5320 N

g' is the acceleration due to gravity on that planet. So,

$g'=\dfrac{W'}{m}$

$g'=\dfrac{5320\ N}{83.46\ kg}$

$g'=63.74\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration due to gravity on that planet is $63.74\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Why is gravity so weird? .

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Why is gravity so weird? No force is more familiar than gravity — it's what keeps our feet on the ground, after all. And Einstein's theory of general relativity gives a mathematical formulation for gravity, describing it as a “warping” of space.
