If two stars have the same absolute magnitude, what can be a reason for the difference in their brightness?
AysviL [449]

B. their distances from the sun.

Explanation:

Absolute Magnitude:

Astronomers defines the absolute magnitude of a stars brightness in terms of how bright a star appears from a standard distance of 10 parsecs. Parsec is a unit of distance in astronomy. 10 parsecs is equal to 32.6 light years.

Apparent Magnitude:

Apparent magnitude of a star refers to how bright the star appears at its distance from the Earth.

If two stars have the same absolute magnitude but their apparent magnitude differs, the reason is that the distance of both the stars from the Earth varies. Hence their brightness differs when measured from Earth. The farther a star is from the Earth, the fainter its brightness.

Keywords: star, brightness, parsec, light years, apparent magnitude, absolute magnitude

A toy rocket is fired vertically into the air from the ground at an initial velocity of 80 feet per second. Find the time it wil
miskamm [114]

Answer: 16.3 seconds

Explanation: Given that the

Initial velocity U = 80 ft/s

Let's first calculate the maximum height reached by using third equation of motion.

V^2 = U^2 - 2gH

Where V = final velocity and H = maximum height.

Since the toy is moving against the gravity, g will be negative.

At maximum height, V = 0

0 = 80^2 - 2 × 9.81 × H

6400 = 19.62H

H = 6400/19.62

H = 326.2

Let's us second equation of motion to find time.

H = Ut - 1/2gt^2

Let assume that the ball is dropped from the maximum height. Then,

U = 0. The equation will be reduced to

H = 1/2gt^2

326.2 = 1/2 × 9.81 × t^2

326.2 = 4.905t^2

t^2 = 326.2/4.905

t = sqrt( 66.5 )

t = 8.15 seconds

The time it will take for the rocket to return to ground level will be 2t.

That is, 2 × 8.15 = 16.3 seconds

An ideal monatomic gas at 275 K expands adiabatically and reversibly to six times its volume. What is its final temperature (in
Gwar [14]

The final temperature is 83 K.

<u>Explanation</u>:

For an adiabatic process,

T {V}^{\gamma - 1} = \text{constant}

\cfrac{{T}_{2}}{{T}_{1}} = {\left( \cfrac{{V}_{1}}{{V}_{2}} \right)}^{\gamma - 1}

Given:-

{T}_{1} = 275 \; K  

{T}_{2} = T \left( \text{say} \right)

{V}_{1}  = V

{V}_{2} = 6V

\gamma = \cfrac{5}{3} \;    (the gas is monoatomic)

\therefore \cfrac{T}{275} = {\left( \cfrac{V}{6V} \right)}^{\frac{5}{3} - 1}

 

\Rightarrow \cfrac{T}{275} = {\left( \cfrac{1}{6} \right)}^{\frac{2}{3}}  

T  =  275 \times 0.30

T  =  83 K.

an aeroplane moving horizontally with a speed of 180 km/hr drops a food packet while flying at a height of 490m . the horizontal
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
The time the package travels horizontally is equal to the time it takes to hit the ground. This can be calculated using:
s = ut + 1/2 at²; u is 0
480 = 4.9t²
t = 9.90 seconds

Horizontal distance = horizontal speed x time
The speed will be converted to m/s from km/h
= 180 km/hr x 1000m/km x 1hr/3600 seconds x 9.90 seconds
= 495 m
