Answer:

(a) <u>11.3 L</u>

(b) <u>10 M</u>

Explanation:

The mass-luminosity relationship states that:

Luminosity ∝ Mass^3.5

Luminosity = (Constant)(Mass)^3.5

So, in order to find the values of luminosity or mass of different stars, we take the luminosity or mass of sun as reference. Therefore, write the equation for a star and Sun, and divide them to get:

Luminosity of a star/L = (Mass of Star/M)^3.5 ______ eqn(1)

where,

L = Luminosity of Sun

M = mass of Sun

(a)

It is given that:

Mass of Star = 2M

Therefore, eqn (1) implies that:

Luminosity of star/L = (2M/M)^3.5

Luminosity of Star = (2)^3.5 L

<u>Luminosity of Star =  11.3 L</u>

(b)

It is given that:

Luminosity of star = 3160 L

Therefore, eqn (1) implies that:

3160L/L = (Mass of Star/M)^3.5

taking ln on both sides:

ln (3160) = 3.5 ln(Mass of Star/M)

8.0583/3.5 = ln(Mass of Star/M)

Mass of Star/M = e^2.302

<u>Mass of Star = 10 M</u>

An archer aims his arrow directly at an orange hanging on an orange tree. At the moment he releases the arrow, the orange drops
Elena L [17]

Answer:

Yes it would

Explanation:

As the arrow and the orange are in the same position initially, vertically speaking. They are also subjected to the same gravitational acceleration g only in the vertical direction. They also start their motion at the same time. So their equation of motion can be written as

y = h + gt^2/2

Where h is the initial height of both of them. Since their g, h, and t are the same, their vertical position must be the same at the same time. As the arrows progress horizontally, it would hit the orange.

A 1700kg rhino charges at a speed of 50.0km/h. what average force is needed to bring the rhino to a stop in 0.50s?
uranmaximum [27]
From 50km/h to 0km/h in 0.5s we need next acceleration:
First we convert km/h in m/s:
50km/h = 50*1000/3600=13.8888 m/s
a = v/t = 13.88888/0.5 = 27.77777 m/s^2

Now we use Newton's law:

F=m*a

F=1700*27.7777 = 47222N

An electron traveling through a wire in an electric circuit experiences a constant force of 4 multiply 10-19 N, always in the di
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

The work done on the electron by this force is 3.2\times10^{-19}\ J

Explanation:

Given that,

Force F=4\times10^{-19}\ N

distance = 0.8 m

We need to calculate the work done on the electron by this force

Using formula of work done

W=F\times d

Where, F = force

d = distance

Put the value into the formula

W=4\times10^{-19}\times0.8

W=3.2\times10^{-19}\ J

Hence, The work done on the electron by this force is 3.2\times10^{-19}\ J
