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.

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.

Explanation:

That's how plants make food for themselves.

Impulse: A batter applies an average force of 8000 N to a baseball for 1.1 ms. What is the magnitude of the impulse delivered to
fiasKO [112]

The magnitude of the impulse delivered to the baseball by the bat is 8.8 Ns.

<h3>Impulse experienced by objects</h3>

The impulse experienced by any object is equal to the change in the momentum of the object.

The magnitude of the impulse delivered to the baseball by the bat is calculated by applying the following equation.

J = Ft

where;

  • F is applied force = 8000 N
  • t is time, = 1.1 ms

J = (8000) x (1.1 x 10⁻³)

J = 8.8 Ns

Thus, the magnitude of the impulse delivered to the baseball by the bat is 8.8 Ns.

What is the highest energy photon that can be absorbed by a ground-state hydrogen atom without causing ionization?
lakkis [162]

Highest energy photon absorbed: 2.18\cdot 10^{-18}J

Explanation:

An atom is said to be (positively) ionised when it absorbs a photon, and as a consequence, an electron becomes energetic enough to escape the atom, leaving an excess of positive charge behind.

In order for the electron to escape, the energy of the absorbed photon must be exactly equal to the (negative) energy of the level in which the electron lies.

For an hydrogen atom, the energy levels are given by

E_n = -13.6 \frac{1}{n^2}

where this energy is measured in electronvolts, and n is the number of the energy level.

Since the energy is negative, this means that the electron which requires most energy is the one lying in the ground state (n=1). Therefore, for an electron in the ground state, the most energy that can be absorbed from the incoming photon is

E_1 = -13.6 eV

Converting into Joules, this is equal to

E_1 = 13.6 \cdot 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}=2.18\cdot 10^{-18}J

A fruit bat falls from the roof of a cave. We know that her potential energy was
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

v = 15.65 m/s

Explanation:

We use conservation of mechanical energy between initial (i) and final (f) states:

Pi + KEi = Pf + KEf

At the top of the cave at the instant the bat starts to fall, there is only potential energy since the bat's velocity is zero.

Pi = m g h = 600 J

and the KEi = 0 J (no velocity)

Knowing the height of the cave's roof (12.8 m) , we can find the mass of the bat:

m = 600 J / (g 12.5) = 4.9 kg

Using conservation of mechanical energy, the final state is:

Pf + KEf = 600 J

with Pf = 0 (just touching the ground)

KEf= 1/2  4.9 (v^2)

and we solve for the velocity:

600 J = 0 + 1/2  4.9 (v^2)

v^2 = 600 * 2 / 4.9 = 244.9

v = 15.65 m/s

Charge Q is distributed uniformly throughout the volume of an insulating sphere of radius R = 4.00 cm. At a distance of r = 8.00
Elena L [17]

Answer:

2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3

1979.99974\ N/C

Explanation:

k = Coulomb constant = 8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Q = Charge

r = Distance = 8 cm

R = Radius = 4 cm

Electric field is given by

E=\dfrac{kQ}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{990\times 0.08^2}{8.99\times 10^{9}}\\\Rightarrow Q=7.04783\times 10^{-10}\ C

Volume charge density is given by

\sigma=\dfrac{Q}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi R^3}\\\Rightarrow \sigma=\dfrac{7.04783\times 10^{-10}}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi (0.04)^3}\\\Rightarrow \sigma=2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3

The volume charge density for the sphere is 2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3

E=\dfrac{kQr}{R^3}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times 7.04783\times 10^{-10}\times 0.02}{0.04^3}\\\Rightarrow E=1979.99974\ N/C

The magnitude of the electric field is 1979.99974\ N/C
