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.

Extend the life of your __________ by avoiding fast starts, stops and sharp turns.
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Tires.

Explanation:

There are the few steps which are discussed below should be taken to increase or extend the life of tires.

(1) Avoid fast starts: Fast start of the vehicle will increase the pressure on the tires due to the friction between the tires and the road will decrease the life of tires.

(2)  Avoid fast stop: Fast stop of the vehicle will also increase the pressure on the tires due to the friction between the tires and the road will decrease the life of tires.

(3) Avoid sharp turns: The alignment of the wheels and tires are in such a way that they work properly when vehicle is drive in a straight path but sharp turn will increase the uneven pressure on the tires will lead to decrease the life of tires.

Therefore, the life of tires can be extend by avoiding all the above mention actions such as fast stop, start and sharp turns.

A teacher wants to demonstrate that the radioactive source emits alpha beta and gamma radiation. Describe a method the teacher c
Mila [183]

By using an electric field, it is feasible to differentiate between these different forms of radiation.

<h3>What is a radioactive source?</h3>

A source that emits radiation like gamma, beta, and alpha rays is said to be radioactive. Using an electric field, we can discriminate between these different forms of radiation.

The field does not deflate the gamma rays, but it does deflate the alpha and beta rays, with the alpha being deflated to the field's negative portion and the beta to its positive part.

Hence, by using an electric field, it is feasible to differentiate between these different forms of radiation.

To learn more about the radioactive source refer;
