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

Physics

Hatshy [7]3 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)

An airplane with a mass of 5,000 kg needs to accelerate 5 m/s2 to take off before it reaches the end of the runway. How much for
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

<h2>25000 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 5000 × 5

We have the final answer as

<h3>25000 N</h3>

Which of the following is not an example of natural climate change?
wlad13 [49]

(c) is the correct choice.

El Nino (a), Earth's orbit (b), and solar energy output (d) are all "natural" occurrences.  You can't do a thing aboutum.

Fossil fuels ... or, more precisely, humanity's use of vast quantities of fossil fuels as a convenient source of huge quantities of energy ... and the subsequent increase of Carbon Dioxide in the planet's atmosphere, is not the result of "natural" processes.  It's the result of human efforts to <em>alter and control</em> Nature, through <em>artificial</em> processes.

A particle of mass M moves along a straight line with initial speed vi. A force of magnitude F pushes the particle a distance D
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial kinetic energy of M = 1/2 M vi²

let final velocity be vf

v² = u² + 2a s

vf² =  vi² + 2 (F / M) x D

Kinetic energy

= 1/2 Mvf²

= 1/2 M ( vi² + 2 (F / M) x D

1/2 M vi² + FD

Ratio with initial value

1/2 M  vi² + FD) / 1/2 M  vi²

RK = 1 + FD / 2 M  vi²
