Answer:

If we see an object brighten in 1 hour, we know that the object cannot be longer than 1 light-hour in size. If it were, light from the far side of the object would start arriving at our telescopes more than an hour after the light from the front side and we would see the brightening take longer time than an hour to occur.

Explanation:

To understand the question above, let us discuss what variations in luminosity is:

variations in luminosity are two distinct word coming together to form a phenomenon. They are concepts that help us to bring to our understanding how brightness of the Sun significantly affects or impacts on global warming.

Variations as a concept can be describes as the total energy the sun generates in term of output or emission which also can be refereed to as the Luminosity ratio. Luminosity can also be refereed to as a concept caused by changing dark (sunspot) that bright structures on the solar disk during the 11-year sunspot cycle.

On earth a 2.25 kg object is lifted a height of 5.22m. What is the gravitational potential energy

zysi [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

GPE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²

From the question we have

GPE = 2.25 × 10 × 5.22

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

A 0.58 kg mass is moving horizontally with a speed of 6.0 m/s when it strikes a vertical wall. The mass rebounds with a speed of

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

$5.8\; {\rm kg\cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}$ .

Explanation:

If the mass of an object is $m$ and the velocity of that object is $v$ , the linear momentum of that object would be $m\, v$ .

Assume that the initial velocity of the mass is positive ( $6.0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ .) However, the direction of the velocity is reversed after the impact. Thus, the sign of the new velocity of the object would be negative- the opposite of that of the initial velocity. The new velocity would be $(-4.0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}})$ .

Thus, the change in the velocity of the mass would be:

$\begin{aligned}& (\text{Change in Velocity}) \\ =\; & (\text{Final Velocity}) - (\text{Initial Velocity}) \\ =\; & (-4.0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) - (6.0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) \\ =\; & (-10\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1})\end{aligned}$ .

The change in the linear momentum of the mass would be:

$\begin{aligned} & \text{change in momentum} \\ =\; & (\text{mass}) \times (\text{change in velocity}) \\ =\; & 0.58\; {\rm kg} \times (-10\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) \\ =\; & (-5.8\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}})\end{aligned}$ .

Thus, the magnitude of the change of the linear momentum would be $5.8\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}$ .

A stream of water strikes a stationary turbine blade horizontally, as the drawing illustrates. The incident water stream has a v

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

F = 1908 N

Explanation:

GIVEN,

Incident water stream has a velocity = U = +18.0 m/s,

Exiting water stream has a velocity = V = -18.0 m/s.

Mass of water per sec : M / t = 53 kg /s

Change in velocity d v =18 m / s – ( -18 m / s)

= 36 m / s

Magnitude of the average force exerted on the water by the blade

F = ( M / t ) x dv

=( 53 kg /s ) x ( 36 m/s )

F = 1908 N

Draw an arrow that points from the earth pole toward polaris

IRINA_888 [86]

The polaris is a star which appear to stand still while the rest of the stars move due to the rotation of the earth.If u are standing at the north pole the polaris would be directly above you.To find the polaris u must first find the big dipper which is like a bowl with handle and the move like 5 time to find the polaris
