A star has a size of 0.1 solar radius. How many times larger is the sun than this star?

Physics

<span> For this case, the first thing we are going to do is define variables:
 x: size of the radius of the star
 Y: size of the solar radio.
 Let's write an equation that models the problem:
 a star has a size of 0.1 solar radius:
</span> x = 0.1y&#10;
<span> Clearing y we have:
</span> y = x / 0.1&#10;
<span> Rewriting we have:
</span> y = x / (1/10)&#10;&#10;y = 10x<span>
 Answer:
 the sun is 10 times larger than this star</span>

Which scale has 100 divisions from when the temperature when water freezes to the temperature when water boils
Westkost [7]
The Celsius scale (^{\circ} C).

In the Celsius temperature scale, the temperature at which water freezes is set conventionally at 0^{\circ}C, while the temperature at which the water boils is set at 100^{\circ}C. The Celsius degree is then defined as the unit corresponding to 1/100 of this time interval, between the temperature of freezing and boiling of the water.

You have a lightweight spring whose unstretched length is 4.0 cm. First, you attach one end of the spring to the ceiling and han
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

2.2nC

Explanation:

Call the amount by which the spring’s unstretched length L,

the amount it stretches while hanging x1

and the amount it stretches while on the table x2.

Combining Hooke’s law with Newton’s second law, given that the stretched spring is not accelerating,

we have mg−kx1 =0, or k = mg /x1 , where k is the spring constant. On the other hand,

applying Coulomb’s law to the second part tells us ke q2/ (L+x2)2 − kx2 = 0 or q2 = kx2(L+x2)2/ke,

where ke is the Coulomb constant. Combining these,

we get q = √(mgx2(L+x2)²/x1ke =2.2nC

the refractive index of cooking oil is 1.47, and the refractive index of water is 1.33. A thick layer of cooking oil is floating
VARVARA [1.3K]
When light travels from a medium with higher refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, there is a critical angle after which all the light is reflected (so, there is no refraction).

The value of this critical angle can be derived by Snell's law, and it is equal to
\theta_C = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )
where n2 is the refractive index of the second medium and n1 is the refractive index of the first medium.

In our problem, n1=1.47 and n2=1.33, so the critical angle is
\theta_C = \arcsin( \frac{1.33}{1.47} )=\arcsin (0.91)=65^{\circ}

How does tightening a string on a guitar affect its natural frequency?
iragen [17]
By tightening a string you are actually putting more stress on the string you are giving it a new frequency that isn't natural.

Hope this helps

A filing cabinet weighing 556 N rests on the floor. The coefficient of static friction between it and the floor is 0.68, and the
zvonat [6]

Explanation:

"Static friction is a force that keeps an object at rest. It must be overcome to start moving the object."

(556 x 0.68) = static friction of 378.08N. before movement occurs.

The  forces (a) and (b) will not move it.  

Each will incur a frictional force preventing movement equal to itself, = 222N. and 334N. respectively.

Forces (c) and (d) will move it, and accelerate it.

Forces (c) and (d) will both encounter friction of (556 x 0.56) = 311.36N. when the cabinet is moving.
