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

You are designing a ski jump ramp for the next Winter Olympics. You need to calculate the vertical height (h) from the starting
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

h = 50.49 m

Explanation:

Data provided:

Speed of skier, u = 2.0 m/s

Maximum safe speed of the skier, v = 30.0 m/s

Mass of the skier, m = 85.0

Total work = 4000 J

Height from the starting gate = h

Now, from the law of conservation of energy

Total energy at the gate = total energy at the time maximum speed is reached

\frac{1}{2}mu^2+mgh=4000J+\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where, g is the acceleration due to the gravity

on substituting the values, we get

\frac{1}{2}\times85\times2.0^2+85\times9.81\times h=4000J+\frac{1}{2}\times85\times30^2

or

170 + 833.85 × h = 4000 + 38250

or

h = 50.49 m

a ball is thrown striaght up in the air and then falls back to earth. if the downward fall takes 2.2s, how fast is the ball trav
lapo4ka [179]

The velocity of the ball when it strikes the ground, given the data is 21.56 m/s

<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

  • Time to reach ground from maximum height (t) = 2.2 s
  • Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Final velocity (v) =?

<h3>How to determine the velocity when the ball strikes the ground</h3>

The velocity of the ball when it strikes the ground can be obtained as illustrated below:

v = u + gt

v = 0 + (9.8 × 2.2)

v = 0 + 21.56

v = 21.56 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the ball when it strikes the ground is 21.56 m/s

A mad scientist wants to collect massive amounts of charge on basketball sized aluminum balls. The scientist wants to place 6 C
vitfil [10]

The distance between two basket ball sized aluminium balls is 9714 m.

Explanation:

Coulomb's law, or Coulomb's inverse-square law, is an experimental law of physics that quantifies the amount of force between two stationary, electrically charged particles. The electric force between charged bodies at rest is conventionally called electrostatic force or Coulomb force .

Coulomb's law formula => F = (k * Qb1 * Qb2)/r²

Given data :-

charge on ball 1 Qb1 = 6C

charge on ball 2 Qb2 = 14C

Force exerted F = 8000 N

k =  8.988 x 10^9 Nm²C−²(coulomb's constant).

substituting given values in the coulomb's formula

8000 = (( 8.988 x 10^9)*6*14)/r²

shifting r and 8000 to other sides

r² = (756 * 10^9)/8000

r = 9714 m.

Therefore the distance between two balls is r = 9714 m.
