Answer:

Betelgeuse is 640 light years away from earth.

Explanation:

A light-year is an astronomical unit to measure the distance the light travels in a calendar year.

If the light from a star takes 640 years to reach us, then that star its 640ly away from us.

Betelgeuse has been labeled as a Variant Star, which means that its brightness can fluctuate over the course of years, this has made difficult for astronomers to measure the exact distance of the star. Right now the star is estimated to be around 613 and 881ly away from earth, although, for the sake of your second question, we will take 640 years as our estimated value.

In 1380 (640 years ago) the Battle of Kulikovo took place. A battle of remarkable importance to Russian history, in which the Russian army, led by Prince Dmitry of Moscow, defeated the Mongol army, defining a turning point in the Mongol dominance, and setting the bases for what Russia is today.

What amount of energy is needed for an electron to jump from n = 1 to n = 4?
liberstina [14]

Answer:

E=2.04\times 10^{-18}\ J

Explanation:

We need to find the energy for an electron to jump from n = 1 to n = 4.

The energy in transition from 1 state to another is given by :

E=\dfrac{-2.18\times 10^{-18}}{n^2}\ J

The difference in energy for n = 1 to n = 4 is:

E=-2.18\times 10^{-18}\times (\dfrac{1}{4^2}-1)\\\\E=2.04\times 10^{-18}\ J

So, the required energy is equal to 2.04\times 10^{-18}\ J.

The heat capacity of object B is twice that of object A. Initially A is at 300 K and B at 450 K. They are placed in thermal cont
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The final temperature of both objects is 400 K

Explanation:

The quantity of heat transferred per unit mass is given by;

Q = cΔT

where;

c is the specific heat capacity

ΔT is the change in temperature

The heat transferred by the  object A per unit mass is given by;

Q(A) = caΔT

where;

ca is the specific heat capacity of object A

The heat transferred by the  object B per unit mass is given by;

Q(B) = cbΔT

where;

cb is the specific heat capacity of object B

The heat lost by object B is equal to heat gained by object A

Q(A) = -Q(B)

But heat capacity of object B is twice that of object A

The final temperature of the two objects is given by

T_2 = \frac{C_aT_a + C_bT_b}{C_a + C_b}

But heat capacity of object B is twice that of object A

T_2 = \frac{C_aT_a + C_bT_b}{C_a + C_b} \\\\T_2 = \frac{C_aT_a + 2C_aT_b}{C_a + 2C_a}\\\\T_2 = \frac{c_a(T_a + 2T_b)}{3C_a} \\\\T_2 = \frac{T_a + 2T_b}{3}\\\\T_2 = \frac{300 + (2*450)}{3}\\\\T_2 = 400 \ K

Therefore, the final temperature of both objects is 400 K.

The position-time equation for a cheetah chasing an antelope is:
pochemuha

Answer:

x = 1.6 + 1.7 t^2      omitting signs

a) at t = 0     x = 1.6 m

b) V = d x / d t = 3.4 t

at t = 0     V = 0

c) A = d^2 x / d t^2 = 3.4     (at t = 0  A = 3.4 m/s^2)

d)  x = 1.6 + 1.7 * (4.4)^2 = 34.5    (position at 4.4 sec = 34.5 m)
