Answer: It is smaller than the second star

Explanation: The brightness of a star depends on two factors: The distance from the Earth and size of the star. More the distance from the Earth, the star appears dimmer. And bigger the star, brighter it is.

b =\frac{L}{4\pi d^2}

Where L is the luminosity,d is the distance

Luminosity depends on the surface area of star (4\pi R^2)

Here, it is given that the two stars are at the same distance from the Earth. The first star is dimmer.  We can conclude from this that first star star must be smaller than the second star.

Answer:it is larger than the second star

Explanation:

The brightness of a star is inversely proportional to its surface area

7. A mother pushes her 9.5 kg baby in her 5kg baby carriage over the grass with a force of 110N @ an angle
jasenka [17]

Weight of the carriage =(m+M)g =142.1\ N

Normal force =Fsin(\theta) + W = 197.1\ N

Frictional force =\mu N=27.59\ N

Acceleration =4.66\ m\ s^{-2}

Explanation:

We have to look into the FBD of the carriage.

Horizontal forces and Vertical forces separately.

To calculate Weight we know that both the mass of the baby and the carriage will be added.

  • So Weight(W) =(m+M)\times g =(9.5+5)\ kg \times 9.8 =142.1\ Newton\ (N)

To calculate normal force we have to look upon the vertical component of forces, as Normal force is acting vertically.We have weight which is a downward force along with F_x, force of 110\ N acting vertically downward.Both are downward and Normal is upward so Normal force =Summation\ of\ both\ forces

  • Normal force (N) = Fsin(\theta)+W=110sin(30) + 142.1 =197.1\ N
  • Frictional force (f) =\mu N=0.14\times 197.1 =27.59\ N

To calculate acceleration we will use Newtons second law.

That is Force is product of mass and acceleration.

We can see in the diagram that F_y=Horizontal and F_x=Vertical component of forces.

So Fnet = Fy(Horizontal) - f(friction) = m\times a

  • Acceleration (a) =\frac{Fcos(\theta)-\mu N}{mass(m)} =\frac{(95.26-27.59)}{14.5}= 4.66\ m\ s{^2 }

So we have the weight of the carriage, normal force,frictional force and acceleration.

How do you calculate the power in a circuit or device if given the current and the resistance?
Drupady [299]

Answer:

you use the Ohms law so to find the voltage you would need to multiply the current by the resistance which gives you the power.

V- voltage

I- current

R- resistance

V= I×R

What is the heat flux (W/m^2), due to radiation heat transfer, from a black body if the surface temperature is 1000C? The convec
12345 [234]

Answer:

55000 W/m²

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Surface temperature, T = 1000°C

Hear transfer coefficient, h = 55 W/m²C

Convection heat transfer coefficient is given as:

h = Heat flux/Temperature

Hence, Heat Flux, q, is given as:

q = h * T

q = 55 * 1000 = 55000 W/m²C
