Why does Alpha Centauri appear to be yellow-white?

Physics

Blizzard [7]3 years ago

Answer:

It is due to the temperature of the star.

Explanation:

The colour of star depends on the temperature of star.

Blue coloured star has high temperature rather than red coloured star.

As we know that blue coloured light ( low wavelength ) has high energy as compared to red light ( high wavelength ) has low energy.

Energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength of light.

So, the temperature of Alpha Centauri is such that it emits yellowish light.

Actually, the real reason it appears yellow-white is because of the temperature of the star. the stars that are hotter tend to be more blue and the stars that aren’t as hot tend to be more red/orange/yellow.

Is light fastest than speed and why.
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

There is no limit to how fast the universe can expand, says physicist Charles Bennett of Johns Hopkins University. Einstein's theory that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum still holds true, because space itself is stretching, and space is nothing.

A flat coil of wire has an inductance of 40. 0 mh and a resistance of 6. 00 ω. It is connected to a 21. 2-v battery at the insta
MissTica

For a  flat coil of wire has an inductance of 40. 0 mh and a resistance of 6. 00 ω, the rate of energy being delivered is mathematically given as

P= 53 W

<h3>What rate is energy being delivered by the battery?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the Battery power  is mathematically given as

P = I (dt)V

Therefore

P= 2.50 A * 21.2V

P= 53 W

In conclusion, rate of energy being delivered

P= 53 W

A car of mass 487 kg travels around a flat, circular race track of radius 53.3 m. The coefficient of static friction between the
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

9.96 m/s

Explanation:

mass of car, m = 487 kg

radius of track, R = 53.3 m

coefficient of static friction, μ = 0.19

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s^2

let v be the maximum speed so that the car can go without flying off the track.

The formula for the maximum speed is given by

v_{max}=\sqrt{\mu Rg}

v_{max}=\sqrt{0.19\times53.3\times9.8

vmax = 9.96 m/s
