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

1 answer:

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)

If the absolute pressure of a gas is 550.280 kPa, its gage pressure is A. 101.325 kPa. B. 651.605 kPa. C. 448.955 kPa. D. 277.28

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Absolute pressure is sum of gauge pressure and atmospheric pressure.

That is

$P_{abs}=P_{gauge}+P_{atm}$

We have

$P_{abs}=550.280 kPa\\\\P_{atm}=1atm=101325Pa=101.325kPa$

Substituting

$P_{abs}=P_{gauge}+P_{atm}\\\\550.280=P_{gauge}+101.325\\\\P_{gauge}=448.955kPa$

Option C is the correct answer.

When air resistance equals the weight of an object, the object has reached

MissTica

Answer:

When air resistance equals the weight of an object, the object has reached free fall.

Explanation:

When an object has only force acting on it as gravity then, it experiences free fall.
During free fall all the forces except gravity is balanced by one another.
In the question, object's weight is balanced by air resistance so it is in the state of free fall.
At the null point of free fall, object experiences weightlessness i.e. it feels like object is not attracted by any force.
