Star X has an apparent magnitude of 1. Star Y has an apparent magnitude of 4. Both stars are in the same star cluster. Which sta

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

Since both stars are in the same cluster, the magnitude and luminosity relationship can be calculated as:

m_1 - m_2 = -2.5 log _{10} (\dfrac{L_1}{L_2})

Given that;

m_1 = 1 and

m_2 = 4

Therefore,

1 - 4 = -2.5 log _{10} ( \dfrac{L_1}{L_2})

3 = -2.5 log _{10} ( \dfrac{L_1}{L_2})

Making \dfrac{L_1}{L_2} the subject of the formula:

\implies \dfrac{L_1}{L_2}= 10^{(\dfrac{3}{2.5})}

=15.84

≅ 16

Hence, we can conclude that star X is more luminous by a factor of 16

Joe first focuses his attention (and his eyes) on the tree. The focal length of the cornea-lens system in his eye must be ______
kotykmax [81]

Answer: The focal length of the cornea-lens system in his eye must be LESS THAN the distance between the front and back of his eye.

Explanation:

The human eye the front part of the eye is the CORNEA. This is the tough white transparent part of the eye that helps in the refraction of light rays. While the backside of the eye is the RETINA. This is the part of the eye when images are focused.

When a normal eye is at rest, parallel rays from a distant object are focused on the retina. The ability of the eye - lens to focus points at different distances on the retina is known as accomodation. The adjustment of the eye lens to focus objects of varying distances is brought about by the ciliary muscles. The have the ability to change the shape of the eye which leads to change in focal length.

When a person with normal vision looks at a distant object at infinity, the lens brings parallel rays to focus on the retina. Thus, the furthest point which the eye can see distinctly is called the far point of the eye and it's infinity for a normal eye. But Joe was able to focus his eye on the tree, meaning that the tree was within his near point. This is the nearest point at which an object is clearly seen. Therefore, when the effective focal length of the cornea-lens system changes, it changes the location of the image of any object in one's field of view.

A person is pulling a freight cart with a force of 58 pounds. how much work is done in moving the cart 70 feet if the cart's han
Kobotan [32]

<span>The person is dragging with a force of 58 lbs at an angle of 27 degrees relating to the ground. We want to use cosine function to look for the horizontal force component. And then we can compute for W = (Horizontal Force) x (Distance). We want the horizontal force component since that is the component that is parallel to the direction the cart is moving. </span><span>

(cos 27 degrees)(58 lbs) = 51.69 lbs (This is the horizontal force component.) 
W = (51.69 lbs) x (70 ft) = 3618.3 ft*lbs</span>

On earth, what is a child’s mass if the force of gravity on the child’s body is 100 N
ikadub [295]

Answer: 10.2 kg if g = 9.8, 10 if g = 10.

Explanation:

Weight or the "force of gravity" on a person is simply defined by the equation: F = ma. In this case, the acceleration is g, which is 9.8 but can be rounded up to 10. Based on this, we have:

F = mg

100 = m*9.8

m = 10.2(or 10 if we set g to 10).
