If Star A and Star B have the same absolute magnitude, but Star A is brighter, what does that tell us?

Physics

Hatshy [7]4 years ago

We can conclude that star A is closer to us than star B.

In fact, the absolute magnitude gives a measure of the brightness of the star, if all the stars are placed at the same distance from Earth. So, it's a measure of the absolute luminosity of the star, indipendently from its distance from us: since the two stars have same absolute magnitude, it means that if they were at same distance from Earth, they would appear with same luminosity. Instead, we see star A brighter than star B, and the only explanation is that star A is closer to Earth than star B (the closer the star A, the brigther it is)

You decide to take your middle school science class to the bowling alley for some “hands-on”
Reika [66]

Answer:

(1) is incorrect and (2) is correct.

Explanation:

There is a force of friction opposing the motion, but as soon as Jill let go of the ball, there is no force pushing the ball onward. Therefore, the only forces acting on the ball is the force of friction and air resistance. (still friction)

Why isn't the mass of the electron included in the mass of an atom on the periodic table?
Nataly_w [17]

Because the mass of electrons are extremely smaller than protons and neutrons, it has no effect on atomic mass. Therefore, it's not included.

A proton in a high-energy accelerator is given a kinetic energy of 50.0 GeV. Determine (a) the momentum and (b) the speed of the
koban [17]

(a) The momentum of the proton is determined as 5.17 x 10⁻¹⁸ kgm/s.

(b) The speed of the proton is determined as  3.1 x 10⁹ m/s.

<h3>Momentum of the proton</h3>

The momentum of the proton is calculated as follows;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

where;

  • m is mass of proton = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg
  • v is speed of the proton = ?
<h3>Speed of the proton</h3>

v² = 2K.E/m

v² = (2 x 50 x 10⁹ x 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)/(1.67 x 10⁻²⁷)

v² = 9.6 x 10¹⁸

v = 3.1 x 10⁹ m/s

<h3>Momentum of the proton</h3>

P = mv = (1.67 x10⁻²⁷ x 3.1 x 10⁹) = 5.17 x 10⁻¹⁸ kgm/s

The potential (relative to infinity) at the midpoint of a square is 3.0 V when a point charge of +Q is located at one of the cor
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

d) 12 V

Explanation:

Due to the symmetry of the problem, the potential (relative to infinity) at the midpoint of the square, is the same for all charges, provided they be of the same magnitude and sign, and be located at one of the corners of the square.

We can apply the superposition principle (as the potential is linear with the charge) and calculating the total potential due to the 4 charges, just adding the potential due to any of  them:

V = V(Q₁) + V(Q₂) +V(Q₃) + V(Q₄) = 4* 3.0 V = 12. 0 V
