If two stars have the same absolute magnitude, what can be a reason for the difference in their brightness?

B. their distances from the sun.

Explanation:

Absolute Magnitude:

Astronomers defines the absolute magnitude of a stars brightness in terms of how bright a star appears from a standard distance of 10 parsecs. Parsec is a unit of distance in astronomy. 10 parsecs is equal to 32.6 light years.

Apparent Magnitude:

Apparent magnitude of a star refers to how bright the star appears at its distance from the Earth.

If two stars have the same absolute magnitude but their apparent magnitude differs, the reason is that the distance of both the stars from the Earth varies. Hence their brightness differs when measured from Earth. The farther a star is from the Earth, the fainter its brightness.

Keywords: star, brightness, parsec, light years, apparent magnitude, absolute magnitude

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

i) 0.7

ii) 1.39

iii) 0.6

Next time, when compiling a Physics question, ensure you put the unit of each measurement.

Explanation:

i) T = time of flight =   \frac{2uSin(A)}{g}

where u = speed = 4, A = 60 and  g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 (It is a constant);

Subsituting the values, we have: T = \frac{2(4)Sin(60)}{10} = 0.7

ii) distance travel = Range =  R = \frac{u^{2}Sin(2A) }{g}

where u = speed = 4, A = 60 and  g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 (It is a constant);

Subsituting values, we have: R = \frac{4^{2}Sin(2*60) }{10} = 1.39

iii) Maximum Height = H = \frac{u^{2}(Sin(A))^{2}  }{2g}

where u = speed = 4, A = 60 and  g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 (It is a constant);

Subsituting values, we have: \frac{4^{2}(Sin60)^{2}  }{2*10} = 0.6

Because of interstellar dust, astronomers can see at most about 5 kpc into the disk of the galaxy at visual wavelengths. What pe
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

96%

Explanation

Let A the total area of the galaxy, is modeled as a disc:

A = πR^2 = π (25 kpc)^2

And let a be the area that astronomers are able to see:

a = πr^2 = π(5 kpc)^2

The percentage that can be seen is equal to 100 times the ratio of the areas, of the galaxy and the "visible" part:

P = 100 a/A = (5/25)^2 = 100/25 = 4%

Therefore, the percentage of the galaxy not included, i.e. not seen is:

(100-4)% = 96%

Answer:

SECOND LAW OF NEWTON

Explanation:

When the rocket fires the engines the gases leave at high speed and collide with the space station, transferring an impulse given by the expression

                I = F t = Δp

As we can see this expression is a form of Newton's second law

           F = m a

           a = dv / dt

           F = m dv / dt

           F dt = m dv

           p = mv

           F dt = dp

Therefore the station moves through the SECOND LAW OF NEWTON
