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

Physics
1 answer:
AysviL [449]3 years ago

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 proton travels with a speed of 5.05 ✕ 106 m/s at an angle of 64° with the direction of a magnetic field of magnitude 0.160 T i
Setler [38]

Answer:

A. 1.19 * 10^(-13) N

B. 7.12 * 10^(15) m/s²

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Speed, v = 5.05 * 10^6 m/s

Angle, A = 64°

Magnetic field strength, B = 0.160T

Mass of proton, m = 1.673 * 10^(-27) kg

Charge of proton, q = 1.6023 * 10^(-19) C

A. Magnetic force is given as:

F = q*v*B*sinA

F = 1.6023 * 10^(-19) * 5.05 * 10^6 * 0.160 * sin64

F = 1.19 * 10^(-13) N

B. Force is generally given as:

F = m*a

Hence, we can find acceleration, a, by making it the subject of formula:

a = F/m

a = (1.19 * 10^(-13))/(1.673 * 10^-27)

a = 7.12 * 10^15 m/s²

Select the properties that apply to superconductors.
makkiz [27]
made from pure metals . . . no;
they've been made from all kinds of weird compounds and alloys.
 
conduct electricity with zero resistance . . . yes;
that's why they're called "superconductors".

produce a strong magnetic field . . . possible, but not because it's a superconductor;
just like any other conductor, the magnetic field depends on the current that's flowing in the conductor.

no loss of energy in the transfer of electricity . . .
there's no loss of energy in the current flowing in the superconductor;
but if you tried to transfer the current out of the superconductor into
something else, then there would be some loss.
