What determines if a star turns into a red giant or a red supergiant?

Physics

Answer:

Explanation:

As stars age, they evolve away from the main sequence to become red giants or supergiants. The core of a red giant is contracting, but the outer layers are expanding as a result of hydrogen fusion in a shell outside the core. The star gets larger, redder, and more luminous as it expands and cools.

If the pitched ball was traveling 77 mph before stanton's bat hit it and 120 mph after his bat hit it, by what amount did the sp

Mice21 [21]

here we will use the concept of Newton's III law

as per Newton's III law the impulse given to the ball is same as the impulse lost by the bat

So here we will say

impulse gain by the ball = impulse lost by the bat

$m_1(v_f - v_i) = m_2(\Delta v)$

given that

$m_1 = 5 ounce$

$m_2 = 32 ounce$

For ball the change in speed will be

$v_f - v_i = (120 - 77)mph$

now from above equation

$5\times (120 - 77) = 32 \times \Delta v$

$\Delta v = 6.72 mph$

so speed of bat will decrease by 6.72 mph

A parallel-plate capacitor stores charge Q. The capacitor is then disconnected from its voltage source, and the space between th

Stells [14]

Answer:

The relationship between the initial stored energy $PE_{i}$ and the stored energy after the dielectric is inserted $PE_{f}$ is:

c) $PE_{f} =0.5\ PE_{i}$

Explanation:

A parallel plate capacitor with $C_{o}$ that is connected to a voltage source $V_{o}$ holds a charge of $Q_{o} =C_{o} V_{o}$ . Then we disconnect the voltage source and keep the charge $Q_{o}$ constant . If we insert a dielectric of $\kappa=2$ between the plates while we keep the charge constant, we found that the potential decreases as:

$V=\frac{V_{o}}{\kappa}$

The capacitance is modified as:

$C=\frac{Q}{V} =\kappa\frac{Q_{o}}{V_{o}}=\kappa\ C_{o}$

The stored energy without the dielectric is

$PE_{i}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{Q_{o}^{2}}{C_{o}}=\frac{1}{2}C_{o}V_{o}^{2}$

The stored energy after the dielectric is inserted is:

$PE_{f}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{Q^{2}}{C}=\frac{1}{2}CV^{2}$

If we replace in the above equation the values of V and C we get that

$PE_{f}=\frac{1}{2}\kappa\ C_{o}(\frac{V_{o}}{\kappa})^{2}=\frac{1}{\kappa}(\frac{1}{2}C_{o}V_{o}^{2})$

$PE_{f} =\frac{PE_{i}}{\kappa}$

Finally

$PE_{f} =0.5\ PE_{i}$

In a few sentences, compare and contrast pressurized water reactors and boiling water reactors.

kondaur [170]

For pressurized water reactors the coolant is not permitted to boil in the core of the PRW, however the coolant in boiling water reactors is permitted to do so in the core of BWR. Pressurized water reactors have an indirect cycle. Whereas, the boiling water reactors go through a direct cycle. Both are light water reactors.
