Answer:
Star A is brighter than Star B by a factor of 2754.22
Explanation:
Lets assume,
the magnitude of star A = m₁ = 1
the magnitude of star B = m₂ = 9.6
the apparent brightness of star A and star B are b₁ and b₂ respectively
Then, relation between the difference of magnitudes and apparent brightness of two stars are related as give below: 
The current magnitude scale followed was formalized by Sir Norman Pogson in 1856. On this scale a magnitude 1 star is 2.512 times brighter than magnitude 2 star. A magnitude 2 star is 2.512 time brighter than a magnitude 3 star. That means a magnitude 1 star is (2.512x2.512) brighter than magnitude 3 bright star.
We need to find the factor by which star A is brighter than star B. Using the equation given above,
Thus,
It means star A is 2754.22 time brighter than Star B.
Answer
given,
mass of ball, m = 57.5 g = 0.0575 kg
velocity of ball northward,v = 26.7 m/s
mass of racket, M = 331 g = 0.331 Kg
velocity of the ball after collision,v' = 29.5 m/s
a) momentum of ball before collision
P₁ = m v
P₁ = 0.0575 x 26.7
P₁ = 1.535 kg.m/s
b) momentum of ball after collision
P₂ = m v'
P₂ = 0.0575 x (-29.5)
P₂ = -1.696 kg.m/s
c) change in momentum
Δ P = P₂ - P₁
Δ P = -1.696 -1.535
Δ P = -3.231 kg.m/s
d) using conservation of momentum
initial speed of racket = 0 m/s
M u + m v = Mu' + m v
M x 0 + 0.0575 x 26.7 = 0.331 x u' + 0.0575 x (-29.5)
0.331 u' = 3.232
u' = 9.76 m/s
change in velocity of the racket is equal to 9.76 m/s
Due to attraction ... of opposite charges
You're talking about a grain of sand or a stone or a rock that's drifting in space, and then the Earth happens to get in the way, so the stone falls down to Earth, and it makes a bright streak of light while it's falling through the atmosphere and burning up from the friction.
-- While it's drifting in space, it's a <em>meteoroid</em>.
-- While it's falling through the atmosphere burning up and making a bright streak of light, it's a <em>meteor</em>.
-- If it doesn't completely burn up and there's some of it left to fall on the ground, then the leftover piece on the ground is a <em>meteorite</em>.
