Answer:
Star A would be brighter than Star B
Explanation:
The apparent brightness of a star as perceived on Earth is dependent on its temperature, size, luminosity and distance from the Earth. Apparent brightness is the visible brightness to the eye at the surface of the Earth, while luminosity is the true brightness at the surface of the star.
A hotter star will radiate more energy per second per meter square of surface area. A larger star will have a greater surface area for radiation of energy, thus increasing the luminosity. For two identical stars, the difference in apparent brightness will be dependent on their distances from Earth.
Brightness and distance from earth have an inverse square relationship.
∝
Assuming the star is a point source of radiation, as distance from the source is increased, the radiation is distributed over a surface proportional to the distance form the source. As distance is further increased, the radiation is distributed over a larger surface area reducing the effective luminosity.
If one star (Star B) is twice as far from the earth as the first (Star A), the brightness of Star B will be
of Star A.
Thus, Star B will appear to be a quarter of the brightness of Star A. Or, Star A will appear to be 4 times as bright as Star B.
Answer:
A. 69.9m
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial velocity = 10.5m/s
Final velocity = 21.7m/s
Time = 4.34s
Unknown:
Distance traveled = ?
Solution:
Let us first find the acceleration of the car;
Acceleration =
v is final velocity
u is initial velocity
t is the time
Acceleration =
= 2.58m/s²
Distance traveled;
V² = U² + 2aS
21.7² = 10.5² + 2 x 2.58 x S
360.64 = 2 x 2.58 x S
S = 69.9m
It is the instantaneous speed of the bike rider.
Explanation:
At the mile marker, the measured speed gives the instantaneous speed of the bike rider.
The instantaneous speed is speed measured at a precise or instance of time.
Speed is the rate of change of distance with time. It is a scalar quantity that only shows magnitude with no reference to direction.
Velocity is the displacement divided by time. It has both magnitude and directions.
Average speed is measured over a period of time as the distance increases from the starting point.
From this, we can see that 13.5mph is the instantaneous speed of the bike rider.
