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)

A car of mass 1600 kg can just be lifted what is the least force that the electronicmagnet must use to lift the car ?
Mkey [24]

The car's mass is 1600 kg.

Its weight is (mass) x (gravity).  

On Earth, that's (1600 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)  =  15,680 Newtons.

At the moment, that's the only force acting on the car, directed downward and provided by gravity.

If you want to lift the car, then the net force has to be directed upward, and must either exactly cancel or exceed the force of gravity.

So the minimum force required to lift the car is <em>15,680 Newtons</em>, directed vertically upward.

You are driving a car with an automatic transmission; the shifter is mounted on the steering column. When you press down on the
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

From the narrative in the question, there seem to have been a break failure and the ordered step of response to this problem is to

1) Put on the hazard light to inform other road users of a problem or potential fault with your car and so they should continue their journey with caution.

2) Avoid pressing on the acceleration pedal as this might cause the car to gradually slow down due to friction and gravity

3)Try navigate the car to the service lane. This is the less busy lane where cars are sometimes parked briefly.

4) Continuously pump the breaks to try stop the car. Continuously pumping the breaks might just help you build enough pressure to stop the car because often time, there are some pressure left in the break.

5) At this point, the speed of the car should be relatively slow. So at this point, you could try apply the emergency hand break. Do not pull the emergency hand breaks if the car is on high speed. Doing this may cause the car to skid off the road.

A sports car skids off of a wet mountain road at 48.5 m/s and lands in the river, 110
Oxana [17]

Answer:

  about 4.74 seconds

Explanation:

The time to fall distance d from height h is given by ...

  t = √(2d/g)

  t = √(2·110 m/(9.8 m/s^2)) ≈ 4.74 s

It will take the car about 4.74 seconds to fall 110 meters to the river.

__

We assume the car's speed is horizontal, so does not add or subtract anything to/from the time to fall from the height.

The current through a 0.2-H inductor is i(t) = 10te–5t A. What is the energy stored in the inductor?
lakkis [162]

Answer:

E = 10t^2e^-10t Joules

Explanation:

Given that the current through a 0.2-H inductor is i(t) = 10te–5t A.

The energy E stored in the inductor can be expressed as

E = 1/2Ll^2

Substitutes the inductor L and the current I into the formula

E = 1/2 × 0.2 × ( 10te^-5t )^2

E = 0.1 × 100t^2e^-10t

E = 10t^2e^-10t Joules

Therefore, the energy stored in the inductor is 10t^2e^-10t Joules
