Answer:
t = 6 [s]
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem we must first use this equation of kinematics.
where:
Vf = final velocity = 0 (the car comes to rest)
Vo = initial velocity = 72 [km/h]
a = acceleration [m/s²]
x = distance = 60 [m]
First we must convert the velocity from kilometers per hour to meters per second.
Now using this other equation of kinematics.
0 = 20-3.33*t
t = 6[s]
Answer:
b) Betelgeuse would be times brighter than Sirius
c) Since Betelgeuse brightness from Earth compared to the Sun is the statement saying that it would be like a second Sun is incorrect
Explanation:
The start brightness is related to it luminosity thought the following equation:
(1)
where is the brightness,
is the star luminosity and
, the distance from the star to the point where the brightness is calculated (measured). Thus:
b) and
where
is the Sun luminosity (
) but we don't need to know this value for solving the problem.
is light years.
Finding the ratio between the two brightness we get:
c) we can do the same as in b) but we need to know the distance from the Sun to the Earth, which is . Then
Notice that since the star luminosities are given with respect to the Sun luminosity we don't need to use any value a simple states the Sun luminosity as the unit, i.e 1. From this result, it is clear that when Betelgeuse explodes it won't be like having a second Sun, it brightness will be 5 orders of magnitude smaller that our Sun brightness.
