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 horse running at 3 m/s speeds up with a constant acceleration of 5 m/s2. How fast is the
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The horse is going at 12.72 m/s speed.

Explanation:

The initial speed of the horse (u) = 3 m/s

The acceleration of the horse (a)= 5 m/s^{2}

The displacement( it is assumed it is moving in a straight line)(s)= 15.3 m

Applying the second equation of motion to find out the time,

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}

15.3=3t+2.5t^{2}

2.5t^{2}+3t-15.3=0

Solving this quadratic equation, we get time(t)=1.945 s, the other negative time is neglected.

Now applying first equation of motion, to find out the final velocity,

v=u+at

v=3+1.945*5

v=3+9.72

v=12.72 m/s

The horse travels at a speed of 12.72 m/s after covering the given distance.

A ball accelerates from rest down a ramp at 2.4 m/s^2. Write an equation that could be used to determine the balls finals positi
Alik [6]

Answer:

x=2.4t+4.9t^2

Explanation:

This equation is one of the kinematic equations to solve for distance. The original equation is as follows:

X=Xo+Vt+1/2at^2

We know that the ball starts at rest meaning that its initial velocity and position is zero.

X=0+Vt+1/2at^2

Since it is going down the ramp, you can use the acceleration of gravity constant. (9.81 m/s^2) and simplify that with the 1/2.

X=Vt+4.9t^2

Note: Since the positive direction in this problem is down, you are adding the 4.9t^2, but if a question says that the downward direction is negative, you would subtract those values.

Now, substitute in your velocity value.

X=2.4t+4.9t^2

The angular speed of the rotor in a centrifuge increases from 420 to 1420 rad/s in a time of 5.00 s. (a) Obtain the angle throug
9966 [12]

Answer:

a) θ = 2500 radians

b) α = 200 rad/s²

Explanation:

Using equations of motion,

θ = (w - w₀)t/2

θ = angle turned through = ?

w = final angular velocity = 1420 rad/s

w₀ = initial angular velocity = 420

t = time taken = 5s

θ = (1420 - 420) × 5/2 = 2500 rads

Again,

w = w₀ + αt

α = angular accelaration = ?

1420 = 420 + 5α

α = 1000/5 = 200 rad/s²

The energy of a wave will remain constant if which of the following changes are made to it?AThe wavelength is cut in half, and t
Makovka662 [10]

The energy of a wave will remain constant if which of the following changes are made to it is given below

Explanation:

1.In electromagnetic waves, energy is transferred through vibrations of electric and magnetic fields. In sound waves, energy is transferred through vibration of air particles or particles of a solid through which the sound travels. In water waves, energy is transferred through the vibration of the water particles.

2.First of all for light which is a electromagnetic wave c=frequency*wavelength. As the wavelength increases the frequency decreases. This can be physically understood as the increase in red shift of the light. Also energy =h*frequency,hence increasing wavelength decreases the energy carried by the photon.

3.Wave frequency is related to wave energy. the more energy in a wave, the higher its frequency. The lower the frequency is, the less energy in the wave.
