Why are stars given an absolute magnitude?

Physics
1 answer:
mafiozo [28]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The solution was to implement an absolute magnitude scale to provide a reference between stars. To do so, astronomers calculate the brightness of stars as they would appear if it were 32.6 light-years, or 10 parsecs from Earth.

A 1000.0 kg truck accelerates from 20.0 m/s to 25.0 m/s over a distance of 300.0 m. What is the average net force on the truck?
choli [55]

Answer:

The average net force on the truck is 375 Newtons.

Explanation:

Using Newton's 3rd equation of motion, we have :

v^{2} - u^{2} = 2×a×s

where, v = final velocity = 25 m/s

u = initial velocity = 20 m/s

a = acceleration

s = distance traveled = 300 m

Using these values in the above equation, we get acceleration = 0.375 m/s^{2}

Using Newton's second law, we have:

F=m×a

where m = mass = 1000 kg

a= acceleration = 0.375 m/s^{2}

Putting values we have F=375 N

A car is moving in uniform circular motion. If the cars speed were to double to keep the car moving with the same radius the acc
Stells [14]

Answer:

<em>The centripetal acceleration would increase by a factor of 4</em>

<em>Correct choice: B.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Circular Motion</u>

The circular motion is described when an object rotates about a fixed point called center. The distance from the object to the center is the radius. There are other magnitudes in the circular motion like the angular speed, tangent speed, and centripetal acceleration. The formulas are:

v_t=w\ r

\displaystyle a_c=\frac{v_t^2}{r}

If the speed is doubled and the radius is the same, then

\displaystyle a_c=\frac{(2v_t)^2}{r}

\displaystyle a_c=4\frac{v_t^2}{r}

The centripetal acceleration would increase by a factor of 4

Correct choice: B.

Explain the difference between the 7 parts of the electromagnetic spectrum.
inn [45]

Answer:

The difference between the two is, well for one

Spectrum: The entire range that the "waves" could be such, as visible light, x-ray's and so on.

Waves: These are different because they aren't telling you or showing the entire spectrum just which they length that they are.

It may confuse you but it makes sense to me (Sorry)
