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

Physics
1 answer:
Hatshy [7]3 years ago
6 0
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)

In a day, an electrical resistance heater uses 10 kW-h of electricity. In the same day, the heater delivers 9 kW-h of heat to th
Illusion [34]

Answer:

The heater is not a perpetual motion machine.

Explanation:

A perpetual motion machine is a machine that can run forever without any energy inputs. That is, it delivers the same amount of energy as it uses. Such a machine is almost hypothetical because it is opposite to the second law of thermodynamics.

The heater mentioned in the question is not a perpetual motion machine because it delivers less energy than it requires. It uses 10 kW-h of electricity to produce 9 kW-h of heat according to the question.

If the value of the electric field in an electromagnetic wave were doubled then
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Electromagnetic wave are waves formed as a result of the oscillatory activities involving the electric and the magnetic field.

However in an Electromagnetic wave, the electric field and magnetic field carry equal amounts of energy and the magnitude of the electric field is directly proportional to the magnitude of the magnetic field. This direct proportionality gives rise to the speed of light being the constant between the two fields.

When the electric field is doubled then an equal action is to be set for the magnetic field so it doesn’t deviate from its main functions and characteristics.

Finish the sentence below with the word that makes the sentence true.
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Animals must eat other plants or animals to obtain the <u>energy</u> stored in the food

Explanation:

One classification of living organisms, according to the way they obtain energy, is that of autotrophs and heterotrophs. The first group is represented by plants, which process their own nutrients from inorganic matter.

<u>Animals -heterotrophes- are unable to process their own nutrients</u>, so they must obtain them from other organisms, either plants or animals. External food sources provide them with nutrients, which contain the energy substrate needed to perform their vital functions.
