The potential energy of the car when it let go is 20,000 J.
The speed of the car at the bottom of the ramp is 20 m/s.
The given parameters;
- <em>mass of the car, m = 100 kg</em>
- <em>height of the car, h = 20 m</em>
<em />
The potential energy of the car is calculated as follows;
P.E = mgh
P.E = 100 x 10 x 20
P.E = 20,000 J
The speed of the car at the bottom of the ramp is calculated as follows;

Answer:
b) Betelgeuse would be times brighter than Sirius
c) Since Betelgeuse brightness from Earth compared to the Sun is the statement saying that it would be like a second Sun is incorrect
Explanation:
The start brightness is related to it luminosity thought the following equation:
(1)
where is the brightness,
is the star luminosity and
, the distance from the star to the point where the brightness is calculated (measured). Thus:
b) and
where
is the Sun luminosity (
) but we don't need to know this value for solving the problem.
is light years.
Finding the ratio between the two brightness we get:
c) we can do the same as in b) but we need to know the distance from the Sun to the Earth, which is . Then
Notice that since the star luminosities are given with respect to the Sun luminosity we don't need to use any value a simple states the Sun luminosity as the unit, i.e 1. From this result, it is clear that when Betelgeuse explodes it won't be like having a second Sun, it brightness will be 5 orders of magnitude smaller that our Sun brightness.
