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.

A subway train starts from rest at a station and accelerates at a rate of 1.68 m/s2 for 14.2 s. It runs at constant speed for 68
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

total distance = 1868.478 m

Explanation:

given data

accelerate = 1.68 m/s²

time = 14.2 s

constant time = 68 s

speed = 3.70 m/s²

to find out

total distance

solution

we know train start at rest so final velocity will be after 14 .2 s is

velocity final = acceleration × time      ..............1

final velocity = 1.68 × 14.2

final velocity = 23.856 m/s²

and for stop train we need time that is

final velocity = u + at

23.856 = 0 + 3.70(t)

t = 6.44 s

and

distance = ut + 1/2 × at²     ...........2

here u is initial velocity and t is time for 14.2 sec

distance 1 = 0 + 1/2 × 1.68 (14.2)²

distance 1 = 169.37 m

and

distance for 68 sec

distance 2= final velocity × time

distance 2= 23.856 × 68

distance 2 = 1622.208 m

and

distance for 6.44 sec

distance 3 = ut + 1/2 × at²

distance 3 = 23.856(6.44) - 0.5 (3.70) (6.44)²

distance 3 = 76.90 m

so

total distance = distance 1 + distance 2 + distance 3

total distance = 169.37 + 1622.208 + 76.90

total distance = 1868.478 m

When we come out in the sun, we feel warm. How does the heat from the sun reach us?
dsp73

Answer:

<h2>Radiation</h2>

Explanation:

<h3>Greetings !</h3>

The Sun reaches us by propagating through the vacuum of space. Sunlight reaches the Earth in about 8 minutes and 20 seconds. When this energy reaches the Earth's atmosphere, both conduction and convection play key roles to scatter it throughout the planet.

When a gas is cooled, the particles begin to move more______(Quickly/slowly). When the temperature drops below the____ (melting
bija089 [108]
Slowly; Boiling Point; Decrease; Decrease; Vibrate in place.

As temperature drops, so does thermal energy, and particle motion drops. The same trends in temperature, thermal energy, and motion applys to phases in decreasing order: gas>liquid>solid. The particle motion is always vibrations in place for solids because they are very tightly packed compared to liquids and gases.

Suppose that the inverse market demand for silicone replacement tips for Sony earbud headphones is p ​= pN ​- 0.1Q, where p is t
lbvjy [14]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

a

   The effect of a change in the price of a new pair of headphones on the equilibrium price of replacement tips​ ( ​dp/dpN​) is

                   \frac{\delta p}{\delta p_N} =1

b

 The value of Q and p at equilibruim is

          Q_e = 250    and    p_d = 5

The consumer surplus is  C= 3125

The producer surplus  is   P = 375

Explanation:

      From the question we are told that

           The inverse market demand is  p_d = p_N -0.1Q

                The inverse supply function is     p_s = 2+ 0.012Q

a

The effect of change in the price  is mathematically given as

                  \frac{\delta p}{\delta p_N}

Now differntiating the inverse market demand function with respect to p_N

We get that  

                   \frac{\delta p}{\delta p_N} =1

b

   We are told that p_N =$30

        Therefore the inverse market demand becomes

                             p_d = 30 -0.1Q

At  equilibrium

                  p_d = p_s

So we have

               30 -0.1Q_e = 2+ 0.012Q_e

Where Q_e is the quantity at equilibrium

                    28 = 0.112Q_e

                     Q_e = \frac{28}{0.112}

                    Q_e = 250

Substituting the value of  Q into the equation for the inverse market demand function

                p_d = 30 - 0.1 (250 )

                    p_d = 5

Looking at the equation for p_d \ and \ p_s we see that

     For  Q =  0

             p_d = 30

             p_s =2

 And  for Q =  250

                 p_d = 5

                 p_s = 5

Hence the consumer surplus is mathematically evaluated as

           C = \frac{1}{2} * Q_e * (30 -5)

Substituting value

        C = \frac{1}{2} * 250 (30-5)

           C= 3125

And

  The  producer surplus is mathematically evaluated as

                    P = \frac{1}{2} *250 * (5-2)

                    P = 375
