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

r is more intrinsically luminous and by what factor
Physics

sashaice [31]3 years ago

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

viva [34]

Answer:

v_{f2} =6.5%v_{i1}

Explanation:

Mass of the ball: m_{1} =0.12kg]

Initial velocity of the ball:   v_{i1}

final velocity of the ball: v_{f1} which is -30/100 of v_{i1} =-0.3v_{i1}

Mass of the bottle: m_{2} =2.4kg

Initial velocity of the bottle: v_{i2}=0m/s

final velocity of the bottle: v_{f2} is unknown (to find)

<em>by using conservation momentum, which stated that the initial momentum is equal to the final momentum.</em>

<em />m_{1} v_{i1} +m_{2} v_{i2} =m_{1} v_{f1} +m_{2} v_{f2}<em />

<em>so since the bottle is at rest firstly, therefore </em>v_{i2} =0<em />

<em />m_{1} v_{i1} +m_{2} (0) =m_{1} v_{f1} +m_{2} v_{f2}<em />

<em />m_{1} v_{i1}  =m_{1} v_{f1} +m_{2} v_{f2}<em>         </em><em>equation 1</em>

so now substitute v_{f1} into equation 1

m_{1} v_{i1}  =m_{1} (-0.3v_{i1} ) +m_{2} v_{f2}

<em />m_{1} v_{i1}  = -0.3m_{1}v_{i1}  +m_{2} v_{f2}<em />

<em>collect the like terms</em>

m_{1} v_{i1}   +0.3m_{1}v_{i1}  =m_{2} v_{f2}

1.3m_{1} v_{i1}   =m_{2} v_{f2}

divide both  side by m_{2}

v_{f2}=\frac{1.3m_{1} v_{i1}}{m_{2} }

Now substitute

v_{f2} =\frac{1.3*0.12*v_{i1}}{2.4}\\v_{f2}    =\frac{0.156v_{i1} }{2.4} \\v_{f2} =0.065v_{i1}

v_{f2} =6.5%v_{i1}

<em />

Why is it important to use placebos and a double-blind approach in some studies
viktelen [127]
Another name for these two words is "constant" and you want to have a "constant", because you want something to compare your experimental group to, to see whether data had changed or not. So you have placebos or a double- blind to compare your experimental group to it and also so you know you don't have a bias or anything in the study.

Light waves travel in straight lines in all directions from the source of the light, unless
Ainat [17]

A.  the medium through which the light travels changes.

Explanation:

Light waves will continue to travel in a straight line in all directions from their source unless the medium through which the light travels changes.

A change in medium causes light to exhibit different properties. Also, when light hits an obstacle, they can be diffracted.

  • The way light travels on crossing a boundary differs.
  • At the boundary between two medium, light can either be reflected back or refracted when they cross the medium
  • This will cause the light rays to bend towards or away from the normal depending on the properties of the medium.

A net force of 20 N acting on a wooden block produces an
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

From the second law of motion:

F = ma

we are given that the force applied on the block is 20N and the block accelerates at an acceleration of 4 m/s/s

So, F=  20N   and  a = 4 m/s/s

Replacing the variables in the equation:

20 = 4* m

m = 20 / 4

m = 5 kg
