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.

leva [86]

Answer:

Mental time travel has been studied by psychologists, cognitive neuroscientists, philosophers and in a variety of other academic disciplines. Major areas of interest include the nature of the relationship between memory and foresight, the evolution of the ability (including whether it is uniquely human or shared with other animals), its development in young children, its underlying brain mechanisms, as well as its potential links to consciousness, the self, and free will.

If a 80kg diver jumps off of a 5 m high dive into a regulation diving pool, how much should the temperature of the pool go up?
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The answer cannot be determined.

Explanation:

The energy of the diver when he hits the pool will be equal to its potential energy mgh, and for the temperature of the pool to rise up, this energy has to be converted into the heat energy of the pool.

The change in temperature {\Delta}T then will be

{\Delta}T=\frac{{\Delta}Q}{mc} .

Where m is the mass of water in the pool, c is the specific heat capacity of water, and {\Delta}Q is the added heat which in this case is the energy of the diver.

Since we do not know the mass of the water in the pool, we cannot make this calculation.

Write a hypothesis about how the height of the cylinder affects the temperature of the water. Use the "if . . . then . . . becau
AnnyKZ [126]
The statement that can be used to answer this  question is:

"If the cylinder is brought higher then, its temperature when brought down becomes higher because a greater amount of potential energy is converted to thermal energy."

The potential energy is converted to thermal energy when the object is released the velocity becomes higher because of the acceleration due to gravity.
