The distance from Earth of the red supergiant Betelgeuse is approximately 643 light-years. If it were to explode as a supernova,

it would be one of the brightest stars in the sky. Right now, the brightest star other than the Sun is Sirius, with a luminosity of 26LSun and a distance of 8.6 light-years. Part A How much brighter in our sky than Sirius would the Betelgeuse supernova be if it reached a maximum luminosity of 1.1×1010 LSun? Express your answer using two significant figures.

Answer:

1.5 Times.

Explanation:

The first step in order to solve the problem is to define our values, from this we can proceed to find the apparent brightness relationship for the two objects,

So,

B_i = \frac{L}{4 \pi R^2}

B=Apparent Brightness

L= Luminosity

R=Radius

Then,

\frac{B_{Berelgeuse}}{B_{Sirius}} = \frac{\frac{L_{Betelgeuse}}{4\pi (D_{Betelgeuse})^2}}{\frac{L_{Sirius}}{4\pi (D_{Sirius})^2}}

\frac{B_{Berelgeuse}}{B_{Sirius}} = \frac{\frac{1.1*10^{10}*L_{sun}}{4\pi (643)^2}}{\frac{26L_{Sun}}{4\pi(8.6)^2}}

\frac{B_{Berelgeuse}}{B_{Sirius}} = \frac{1.1*10^{10}}{643^2}*\frac{8.6^2}{26}

\frac{B_{Berelgeuse}}{B_{Sirius}} = 15682.3

B_{Betelgeuse} = 15682.3B_{Sirius}

Under this relationship we can conclude that in the case of a Supernova, in our sky Betelgeuse Supernova would be 1.5 * 10 ^ 4 times brighter than Sirius seen from the earth to the sky.

dimaraw [331]
This question seems to really be incomplete. You must include the options but fortunately I have already encountered this problem.
Here are the choices:

<span>A. have a different frequency than the resultant wave.
B. be in phase with each other.
C. be traveling in the opposite direction of the resultant wave.
D. have a different wavelength than the resultant wave

The correct answer is letter B. be in phase with each other</span>

How much work did the movers do (horizontally) pushing a 46.0-kgkg crate 10.5 mm across a rough floor without acceleration, if t
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

7.1 J

Explanation:

From the question,

Work done by the mover  = work done in pushing the crate + work done against friction

W = W'+Wf................. Equation 1

W = mgd+mgμd............ Equation 2

W = mgd(1+μ)................ Equation 3

Where m = mass of the crate, g = acceleration due to gravity, d = distance, μ = coefficient of  friction.

Given: m = 46 kg, d = 10.5 mm = 0.0105 m, μ = 0.5

constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 3

W = 46×9.8×0.0105(1+0.5)

W = 7.1 J

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The velocity \vec{v}_{c/g} of the cart with respect to the ground is

\vec{v}_{c/g}=-40\hat{x}+80\hat{y}\, km/h

if we consider North the positive y-direction and East the positive x-direction.

Explanation:

We have for relative motion the following expression:

\vec{v}_{c/g}=\vec{v}_{c/p}+\vec{v}_{p/g}

Where \vec{v}_{c/g} is the velocity of the cart with respect to the ground, \vec{v}_{c/p} is the velocity of the cart with respect to the plane and \vec{v}_{p/g} is the velocity of the plane with respect to the ground.

We find that:

\vec{v}_{c/p}=-20\hat{y}

\vec{v}_{p/g}=-40\hat{x}+100\hat{y}

Thus:

\vec{v}_{c/g}=-20\hat{y}-40\hat{x}+100\hat{y}=-40\hat{x}+80\hat{y} \, km/h
