Here is the difference between apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude. When we say apparent magnitude, this is the measurement of the brightness of the star of how it appears on Earth; on the other hand, absolute magnitude is the measurement of the brightness of the star at a <span>standard distance of 32.6 light years, or 10 parsecs. Hope this answers your question.</span>

A car travels 20 km South, then turns and travels 30 km East? What is the total displacement?

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Explanation:36.05 km

Given

First car travels $r_1=20\ km$ South

then turns and travels $r_2=30\ km$ east

Suppose south as negative y axis and east as positive x axis

So, $r_1=-20\hat{j}$

$r_2=30\hat{i}$

Displacement is the shortest between initial and final point

Dispalcement $=r=r_1+r_2$

Displacement $=-20\hat{j}+30\hat{i}$

Displacement $=30\hat{i}-20\hat{j}$

Magnitude $=\sqrt{30^2+(-20)^2}$

Magnitude $=36.05\ km$

What is the equation of instantaneous velocity<br>

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

it's possible to calculate an object's velocity at any moment along its path. This is called instantaneous velocity and it is defined by the equation v = (ds)/(dt),in other words, the derivative of the object's average velocity equation.
