The stars, Rigel and Betelgeuse, are both found in the constellation, Orion. Rigel is a blue supergiant, and Betelgeuse is a red

sattari [20]

Answer: a

Explanation: The color of a star is linked to its surface temperature. The hotter the star, the shorter the wavelength of light it will emit. The hottest ones are blue or blue-white, which are shorter wavelengths of light. Cooler ones are red or red-brown, which are longer wavelengths.

What is the change in potential energy if the distance separating the electron and proton is increased to 1.0 nm?

Vlada [557]

Answer:

$Ep=-2.3*10^{-19}J$

Explanation:

The change in potential energy can be expressed as:

$Ep=K.\frac{q1.q2}{r}$

where K is a constant with a value of $9*10^{9}\frac{N.m^{2}}{C^{2}}$ , q1 and q2 are the charges of the proton and the electron and r is the distance between them.

The charge for the proton is $+1.6*10^{-19}C$ and the charge for the electron is $-1.6*10^{-19}C$ .

Converting r=1.0nm to m:

$1.0nm*\frac{1*10^{-9}m}{1.0nm}=1*10^{-9}m$

Replacing values:

$Ep=9*10^{9}\frac{N.m^{2}}{C^{2}}.\frac{(+1.6*10^{-19}C).(-1.6*10^{-19}C)}{1*10^{-9}m}$

$Ep=-2.3*10^{-19}J$

A bike accelerates uniformly(from rest to a speed of 7 m/s over a distance of 40 m. Determine

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

$0.61 m/s^2$

Explanation:

The bike's acceleration can be found by using the following suvat equation:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where

v is the final velocity of the bike

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance covered

For the bike in the problem,

u = 0

v = 7 m/s

d = 40 m

Solving the equation for a, we find the acceleration:

$a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\frac{7^2-0}{2(40)}=0.61 m/s^2$

2. If you want 0. 250 a (250 milliamps) to flow around a circuit with a resistance of 400 ohms, what voltage do you need?

grigory [225]

Answer:

0.000625 V

Explanation:

The formula linking current , resistance and voltage is :

V = I/R

Voltage = Current / Resistance

Now we substitute values given in question :

Voltage = 0.250 / 400

Voltage (V) = 0.000625

Our final answer is 0.000625 V

Hope this helped and have a good day
