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.

At sunset, red light travels horizontally through the doorway in the western wall of your beach cabin, and you observe the light

Nady [450]

Answer:

$9.8\cdot 10^{-6}m$

Explanation:

For light passing through a single slit, the position of the nth-minimum from the central bright fringe in the diffraction pattern is given by

$y=\frac{n \lambda D}{d}$

where

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

D is the distance of the screen from the slit

d is the width of the slit

In this problem, we have

$\lambda=700 nm = 7.00\cdot 10^{-7}m$ is the wavelength of the red light

D = 14 m is the distance of the screen from the doorway

d = 1.0 m is the width of the doorway

Substituting n=1 into the equation, we find the distance between the central bright fringe and the first-order dark fringe (the first minimum):

$y=\frac{(1)(7.00\cdot 10^{-7} m)(14 m)}{1.0 m}=9.8\cdot 10^{-6}m$

Difference between pulling and pushing force

Mrac [35]

Answer:

Push and pull both are forces , but the difference is in their direction at which it is applied . If the force applied in the direction of motion of the particle then we call it as push . If that force applied in the direction OPPOSITE to the motion of particle then it is termed as pull

A 1.50-V battery supplies 0.414 W of power to a small flashlight. If the battery moves 4.93 1020 electrons between its terminals

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

2.86×10⁻¹⁸ seconds

Explanation:

Applying,

P = VI................ Equation 1

Where P = Power, V = Voltage, I = Current.

make I the subject of the equation

I = P/V................ Equation 2

From the question,

Given: P = 0.414 W, V = 1.50 V

Substitute into equation 2

I = 0.414/1.50

I = 0.276 A

Also,

Q = It............... Equation 3

Where Q = amount of charge, t = time

make t the subject of the equation

t = Q/I.................. Equation 4

From the question,

4.931020 electrons has a charge of (4.931020×1.6020×10⁻¹⁹) coulombs

Q = 7.899×10⁻¹⁹ C

Substitute these value into equation 4

t = 7.899×10⁻¹⁹/0.276

t = 2.86×10⁻¹⁸ seconds

Diffrence between FMRI and MRI?

love history [14]

FMRI creates the images or brain maps of brain functioning by setting up and utilizing an advanced MRI scanner in such a way that increased blood flow to the activated areas of the brain shows up on the MRI scan. The MRI scanners do not actually detect blood flow or other metabolic processes.

A 0.600 kg block is attached to a spring with spring constant 15 N/m. While the block is sitting at rest, a student hits it with

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

8.8 cm

31.422 cm/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of block = 0.6 kg

k = Spring constant = 15 N/m

x = Compression of spring

v = Velocity of block

A = Amplitude

As the energy of the system is conserved we have

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kA^2\\\Rightarrow A=\sqrt{\dfrac{mv^2}{k}}\\\Rightarrow A=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.6\times 0.44^2}{15}}\\\Rightarrow A=0.088\ m\\\Rightarrow A=8.8\ cm$

Amplitude of the oscillations is 8.8 cm

At x = 0.7 A

Again, as the energy of the system is conserved we have

$\dfrac{1}{2}kA^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{k(A^2-x^2)}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{15(0.088^2-(0.7\times 0.088)^2)}{0.6}}\\\Rightarrow v=0.31422\ m/s$

The block's speed is 31.422 cm/s
