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.

For the hypothetical reaction A → B, calculate the average rate of disappearance of A if the initial concentration of A is 0.91
marishachu [46]

Answer:

The right answer is 8.9 x 10^-3 M/min

Explanation:

           A → B

-d [A]/dt  = K [A]

ΔA/Δt     = - (C2 -C1)/t2 - t1

               = - (0.11 - 0.91)/90

               = 8.9 x 10^-3 M/min

The diameter of Earth (to two significant figures) is 7900 miles. Calculate its circumference.
Bess [88]

Answer:

The circumference of the Earth is 24818.58 miles

Explanation:

Analysis conceptual : The formula of the circumference is the following:

L= π*D Formula (1)

Where:

L : is the length of the circumference in miles (mi)

π : is the constant

D : is the diameter of the circumference in miles (mi)

Known data

π = 3.1416

D= 7900 miles:  Diameter of the Earth

Problem development

We apply the formula 1 to calculate the circumference of the Earth  (L):

L= π*7900 miles

L= 24818.58 miles

An object starts from rest and uniformly accelerates at a rate of 1.25 m/s2 for 7.0 seconds.
stich3 [128]

Explanation:

Since its accelerating, the velocity vs time graph is linear

For displacement we need initial velocity (which is zero because it starts from rest) and final velocity (which is calculatee thro acceleration formula

A= (vf - vi)/t

a= vf-0/t

1.25=vf / 7

1.25*7=vf

8.75 = vf

Now for displacement plug all the values in

X = 1/2(vf-vi)/t formula

The displacement (x) is 30.625 m

For part 3, we know new displacement that is 22m , the final and initial velocities are the same so just plug in the values for same formula above

The answer is t = 5.02

Im pretty sure all the answers are correct

Playing a certain musical note on a trumpet
Virty [35]

Answer:

(1) Resonance

Explanation:

Resonance is the process whereby a system is set into vibration due to the vibration of a nearby system with larger amplitude. The frequency at which this vibration takes place is called the resonant frequency.

It is a phenomenon of amplification that occurs when the frequency of a periodically applied force is in harmonic proportion to the natural frequency of the system on which it acts.
