Alnilam is the brightest star
Absolute brightness is how bright the star actually is. Apparent brightness is how bright the star looks.
Factors that influence how bright a star looks is distance. The fact that Alnilam has the same apparent brightness of the other two stars even though it is farther away, means that it is brighter.
Yes, the above-given statement is true
<u>Explanation:</u>
- The product of the mass x the velocity will be the same for both. Momentum is the action of a body with a particular mass through space and there is the conservation of momentum.
- Momentum is described as the mass of the object multiplied by its velocity.
- <u>Momentum (p) = Mass (M) * Velocity (v)</u>
- Therefore for two objects with many masses to have a similar momentum, then the lighter one has to be moving quicker than the heavier object.
... find length
(way 1) determine acceleration using force
only force act on skier is mg vertically. spilt vector we get force along the incline = mgsin(10) and f= ma so
ma = mgsin(10) or a = gsin(10)
a (along the incline)= gsin(10) = 10sin(10) = 1.74
v^2 = u^2 + 2as
15^2 = 3^2 + 2(1.74)s
s = 62.06 m
(way 2) using conservation of energy
energy (KE+PE) on top = energy at bottom
0.5m3^2 + mgh = 0.5m15^2 +0
h (height of incline) = (112.5 - 4.5)/10 = 19.8 m
length of incline = h/sin(10) = 62.2 m ; trigonometry
... find time
s = (u+v)t/2
t = 2s/(u+v) = 2(62.2)/(3+15) = 6.91 s
We know that 1 minute= 60 seconds (or 1 min= 60 s).
10 min* (60 s/ 1 min)* (2.0 m/ 1 s)= 1,200 m.
(Note that the units cancel out so you get the answer)
The final answer is 1,200 m.
Hope this helps~
