Go outside on a clear night, wait 15 minutes for your eyes to adjust to the dark, and look carefully at the brightest stars. Som

e should look slightly red and others slightly blue. The primary factor that determines the color of a star is its temperature. Which is hotter: a blue star or a red one? Explain

Answer:

blue star is hotter than red

Explanation:

The colour of a star depends on its temperature.

Lesser the temperature means lesser be the energetic. less energy means longer wavelength. Between blue and red, red colour has longer wavelength. So, the red colored star is colder than blue coloured star.

Blue coloured star is hotter than red coloured star.

A seesaw pivots as shown in below. What is the net torque about the pivot point?
rodikova [14]

Answer:

2.3 Nm clockwise

Explanation:

Take counterclockwise to be positive and clockwise to be negative.

∑τ = (3 N) (2.5 m) − (7 N) (1.4 m)

∑τ = 7.5 Nm − 9.8 Nm

∑τ = -2.3 Nm

The net torque is 2.3 Nm clockwise.

calculate the period of a wave whose frequency is 5 Hertz and whose wavelength is one centimeter give your answer in a decimal f
olga2289 [7]
The period of the wave is the reciprocal of its frequency.

       1 / (5 per second)  =  0.2 second .

The wavelength is irrelevant to the period.  But since you
gave it to us, we can also calculate the speed of the wave.

Wave speed = (frequency) x (wavelength)

                   = (5 per second) x (1cm)  =  5 cm per second

A certain shade of blue has a frequency of 7.15 × 1014 hz. what is the energy of exactly one photon of this light?
Ket [755]
The energy carried by a single photon of frequency f is given by:
E=hf
where h=6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} m^2 kg s^{-1} is the Planck constant. In our problem, the frequency of the photon is f=7.15 \cdot 10^{14}Hz, and by using these numbers we can find the energy of the photon:
E=(6.6\cdot 10^{-34}m^2 kg s^{-1})(7.15 \cdot 10^{14}Hz)=4.7 \cdot 10^{-19}J

A locomotive approaches its next stop and accelerates at -0.12 m/s^2, coming to a complete stop in 30 seconds. This motion could
Masja [62]

Answer:

<em>Answer: positive velocity & negative acceleration</em>

Explanation:

<u>Accelerated Motion</u>

Both the velocity and acceleration are vectors because they have magnitude and direction. When the motion is restricted to one dimension, i.e. left-right or up-down, the direction is marked with the sign according to some preset reference.

The locomotive is moving at a certain speed with a (so far) unknown sign but the acceleration has a negative sign. Since the locomotive comes to a complete stop it means the velocity and the acceleration are of opposite signs.

Thus the velocity is positive.

Answer: positive velocity & negative acceleration
