Answer:

A. plot an H-R diagram for the stars in the cluster.

Explanation:

A star cluster can be defined as a constellation of stars, due to gravitational force, which has the same origin.

The astronomy student would have to plot an H-R diagram for the stars in the cluster and determine the age of the cluster by observing the turn-off point. The turn-off is majorly as a result of gradual depletion of the source of energy of the star. Thus, it projects off the constellation.

Which of the following statements most accurately differentiates potential and kinetic energy? A. Any object that has no motion
Aleks [24]

Answer:

B. Any object that has motion has potential energy, wow any object not in motion light with the potential to do work and kinetic.

Explanation:

Potential Energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factors. Kinetic Energy is energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.

Calculate the wavelength of an electron (m = 9.11 × 10-28 g) moving at 3.66 × 106 m/s.
valina [46]
The answer is 1.99 × 10⁻¹⁰ m.

To calculate this we will use De Broglie wavelength formula:
<span>λ = h/(m*v)
</span><span>λ - the wavelength
</span>h - Plank's constant: h = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ Js
v - speed
m - mass

It is given:
<span>λ = ?
</span>m = 9.11 × 10⁻²⁸<span> g
v = </span>3.66 × 10⁶<span> m/s

After replacing in the formula:
</span>λ = h/(m*v) = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ /(9.11 × 10⁻²⁸ * 3.66 × 10⁶) = 1.99 × 10⁻¹⁰ m
