The stars, Rigel and Betelgeuse, are both found in the constellation, Orion. Rigel is a blue supergiant, and Betelgeuse is a red

supergiant. Which of the following correctly compares the temperatures of Rigel and Betelgeuse?
a
Rigel is hotter than Betelgeuse, because blue stars are hotter than red stars.
b
Betelgeuse is hotter than Rigel, because red stars are hotter than blue stars.
c
Rigel and Betelgeuse are close to the same temperature, because they are both super giants.
d
Betelgeuse and Rigel are close to the same temperature, because they are about the same distance from the Sun.

Answer: a

Explanation: The color of a star is linked to its surface temperature. The hotter the star, the shorter the wavelength of light it will emit. The hottest ones are blue or blue-white, which are shorter wavelengths of light. Cooler ones are red or red-brown, which are longer wavelengths.

A 5.0 kg block hangs from the ceiling by a mass-less rope. A Second block with a mass of 10.0 kg is attached to the first block
gayaneshka [121]

The tension in the first and second rope are; 147 Newton and 98 Newton respectively.

Given the data in the question

  • Mass of first block; m_1 = 5.0kg
  • Mass of second block, m_2 =10kg
  • Tension on first rope; T_1 =\ ?
  • Tension on second rope; T_2 =\ ?

To find the Tension in each of the ropes, we make use of the equation from Newton's Second Laws of Motion:

F = m\ *\ a

Where F is the force, m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration ( In this case the block is under gravity. Hence ''a" becomes acceleration due to gravity  g = 9.8m/s^2 )

For the First Rope

Total mass hanging on it; m_T = m_1 + m_2 = 5.0kg + 10.0kg = 15.0kg

So Tension of the rope;

F = m\ * \ g\\\\F = 15.0kg \ * 9.8m/s^2\\\\F = 147 kg.m/s^2\\\\F = 147N

Therefore, the tension in the first rope is 147 Newton

For the Second Rope

Since only the block of mass 10kg is hang from the second, the tension in the second rope will be;

F = m\ * \ g\\\\F = 10.0kg \ * 9.8m/s^2\\\\F = 98 kg.m/s^2\\\\F = 98N

Therefore, the tension in the second rope is 98 Newton

How many significant digits should the answer to the following problem have? (2.49303 g) * (2.59 g) / (7.492 g) =
Feliz [49]

The number of significant digits to the answer of the following problem is four.

<h3>What are the significant digits?</h3>

The number of digits rounded to the approximate integer values are called the significant digits.

The following problem is

(2.49303 g) * (2.59 g) / (7.492 g) =

On solving we get

= 0.86184566204

The answer is approximated to  0.86185

Thus, the significant digits must be four.

In a college homecoming competition, eighteen students lift a sports car. While holding the car off the ground, each student exe
Nata [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Each student exert a force of F=400 N

Let mass of car be m

there are 18 students who lifts the car

Total force by 18 students F=18\times 400=7200 N

therefore weight of car W=7200

mass of car m=\frac{W}{g}

m=\frac{7200}{9.8}=734.69 kg

(b)7200 N \approx 1618.624\ Pound-force

734.69 kg\approx 1619.71 Pounds
