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

Physics

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

A wheel of radius 0.23 m, which is moving initially at 25.0 m/s, rolls to a stop in 246.0 m. The wheel's rotational inertia is 0
Digiron [165]

Answer: -1.27 m/s^2

Explanation:

a = - V^2 / 2x

a = -(25^2) / 2 x (246) = 1.27 m/ s^2

Therefore the linear acceleration of the wheel is - 1.27 m/s^2

The same amount of substance was added to four beakers of water. The treatments were placed in the chart.
vfiekz [6]

Answer: Solution W and Y solution have more solubility than X and Z

Solutions are homogeneous mixtures of two or more components. By uniform mix we mean that its structure and properties are the same in the whole mix. Generally, the component which is present in the largest quantity is known as solvent. Solvent determines the physical condition in which the solution exists. In addition to the solvent, one or more component present in the solution is called solutes. In this unit we will only consider binary solutions (i.e., with two components)

The structure of the solution can be described by expressing its concentration. The latter can either be expressed qualitatively or quantitatively. For example, in qualitatively we can say that the solution is diluted (i.e., relatively small amounts of solubility) or it is concentrated (i.e., relatively rarely sighs). But in real life such details may be very confusing and thus require a quantitative description of the solution. There are several ways that we can quantitatively describe the concentration of solutions. (i) Mass Percentage (W / W): The mass percentage of a component of the solution is defined as: mass of the component = mass of the component in the solution = 100 Total mass of the solution .For example, if by mass A solution is described by 10% glucose in water, it means that 10 grams of glucose dissolved in 90 grams of water, resulting in 100 grams of solution. The concentration described by a large percentage of the population is usually used in industrial chemical applications. For example, the commercial bleaching solution contains 3.62 mass percentages of sodium hypochlorite in water. (ii) Volume Percentage (V / V): Volume Percentage is defined as: Total Volume of Component Volume 100 (component) Volume% of Component

Suppose that you measure the length of a spaceship, at rest relative to you, to be 400 m. How long will you measure it to be if
Rashid [163]

Answer:

<em>264 m</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The complete question is

Suppose that you measure the length of a spaceship, at rest relative to you, to be 400 m. How long will you measure it to be if it flies past you at a speed of v = 0.75c

using the length contraction relationship,

l = l_{0} \sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2}  }

where \beta = \frac{v}{c}

l is the relativistic length

l_{0} is the actual length = 400 m

v is the velocity of the spaceship

c is the speed of light

since v = 0.75c

v/c = 0.75

substituting, we have

l = 400 * \sqrt{1 - 0.75 ^{2}  } = 400 x 0.66 = <em>264 m</em>
