Explanation:

On the HR diagram Sirius is the closet.

c) Sirius has a surface temperature and luminosity closest to Phecda

What is surface tension and luminosity of a star ?

Surface temperature is the temperature at or near a surface. Luminosity is an absolute measure of radiated electromagnetic power (light), the radiant power emitted by a light-emitting object over time.

As it can be observed from the graph attached that Sirius have a surface temperature of about 10,000 K which can be considered as closest to 9500 K comparatively to other stars and if we see the the y coordinate of Sirius which is the luminosity representing axis , then Sirius have a value of luminosity closer to 63

Let FAB, be the force exerted on body B by body A and FBA be the force exerted by body B on A. Suppose that due to these forces FAB and FBA, dp1/dt and dp2/dt be the rate of the change of momentum of these bodies respectively.

Answer:

Consider an isolated system of 2 bodies A & B. An isolated system means where there is no external force acting.Now let F be the force acting on B by A & F be the force acting on A by B.Now rate of change of momentum of A =dpA/dt and rate of change of momentum of B =d pB/dt

thus FAB=d pB/dt (i)......

FBA=dpA/dt (ii)........

Adding 1 and 2 we get FAB+FBA=d pB/dt+dpA/dt =d(pB+pA)/dt

But if no force is applied momentum will also be 0 because no velocity will be there so rate of change of momentum will also be 0

thus d(pA+pB)/dt=0

therefore FAB+FBA=0

or,FAB=-FBA

Spaceship 1 and Spaceship 2 have equal masses of 150 kg. Spaceship 1 has an initial momentum magnitude of 900 kg-m/s. What is its initial speed?
A. 9 m/s
B. 6 m/s
C. 90 m/s
D. 60 m/s

Answers

Answer:

ans: 6 m/s

Explanation:

spaceship 1 has mass= 150kg

initial momentum of spaceship 1 = 900 kg•m/s

we know,

momentum = mass × velocity

so,

velocity = momentum/mass

= 900 / 150

= 6 m/s

since we know it was initial momentum so, velocity is initial speed,

A 500 kg sports car accelerates uniformly from rest reaching a speed of 30 m/s in 6 seconds .Find the distance travelled by the car in 6 second

Answers

Answer:

the distance traveled by the sports car is 90 m

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the sports car, m = 500 kg

initial velocity of the sports car, u = 0

final velocity of the sport car, v = 30 m/s

time of motion of the car, t = 6 s

The distance traveled by the sports car is calculated as;

[tex]s = (\frac{u+v}{2} )t\\\\s = (\frac{0+30}{2} ) \times 6\\\\s = 15 \times 6\\\\s = 90 \ m[/tex]

Therefore, the distance traveled by the sports car is 90 m

Magali exerts a force of 4.5 N to slide her Blackberry across the table (so she can hide it from Hina!). If she does 2.7 J of work in the process, how far has the Blackberry moved?

Answers

Work is equal to the magnitude of the force multiplied by the displacement x. Assuming Magali is pushing the phone, so that the force and displacement point in the same direction, then the work done is positive, and

2.7 J = (4.5 N) x   ==>   x = (2.7 J) / (4.5 N) = 0.60 m

Even if she was pulling the phone instead, the displacement would be the same, but the work done would be negative and the force would point in the opposite direction, thus also having a negative sign:

-2.7 J = (-4.5 N) x   ==>  x = 0.60 m

Two forces that make up 3rd law of motion can: 1)Act on the same object 2)do not act on same time 3)Act on different objects 4)Do not act oppositely

Answers

Answer:

3) Act on different objects

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Action-reaction force pairs make it possible for fishes to swim, birds to fly, cars to move, etc.

Basically, action-reaction force pairs are characterized by the following statements;

I. The forces are the same type such as magnetic force, contact force or gravitational force.

II. The forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.

III. They act up on two different bodies.

Hence, the two forces that make up 3rd law of motion can act on different objects.

For example, while driving down the road, a bug strikes the windshield of a vehicle (Action) and makes a quite obvious mess in front of the face of the driver of the vehicle (Reaction) i.e the bug hit the vehicle and the vehicle hits the bug.

Un automóvil se anuncia con una potencia de 600 hp y cuando se prueba en una subida pesada, alcanza una velocidad máxima de 45 km/h ¿cuál es la fuerza máxima que le imprime el motor?

Answers

Answer:

The force is 35808 N.

Explanation:

Power, P = 600 hp = 600 x 746 W = 447600 W

speed, v = 45 km/h = 12.5 m/s

Let the force is F.

P = F v

447600 = F x 12.5

F = 35808 N

Answers

Answer:

1.47 J/kg

120 m

Explanation:

The maximum height it can jump in a single leap 15 cm, = 0.15 m

to get the kinetic energy per kg of mass, we need to find the takeoff speed. The take off speed can be calculated by using the formula

v = [tex]\sqrt{2gh}[/tex]

where h = 0.15

v = [tex]\sqrt{2 * 9.81 * 0.15}[/tex]

v = [tex]\sqrt{2.94}[/tex]

v = 1.715 m/s

energy per kg of mass =

1/2 * (1.715) = 1.47 J/Kg

TJe height a human can jump when compared to the flea is

2 m/2.5 mm * 15 cm =

2/0.0025 *0.15 =

800 * 0.15 = 120 m

Two closed organ pipe gives 4 beats when sounded together at 5°C. Calculate the number of beats in 35°C​

Answers

Answer:

The number of beats is 10.58 in 35°C.

Explanation:

The beat frequency is given by : f₁-f₂

At 5°C, f₁-f₂ = 4

We need to find the number of beats in 35°C​.

The frequency in a standing wave is proportional to [tex]\sqrt T[/tex].

So,

[tex]\dfrac{f_1-f_2}{f_1'-f_2'}=\dfrac{\sqrt {T}}{\sqrt{T'}}\\\\f_1'-f_2'=(f_1-f_2)\times \dfrac{\sqrt{T'}}{\sqrt{T}}\\\\f_1'-f_2'=4\times \dfrac{\sqrt{35}}{\sqrt{5}}\\\\f_1'-f_2'=10.58[/tex]

So, the number of beats is 10.58 in 35°C.

This question involves the concept of refractive index.

The refractive index of the vinegar is "1.3".

What is the Refractive Index?

The refractive index is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in air and the speed of light in the given medium which is vinegar here.

[tex]\eta = \frac{c}{v}[/tex]

where,

[tex]\eta[/tex] = refractive index = ?c = speed of light in air = 3 x 10⁸ m/sv = speed of light in vinegar = 2.3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore,

[tex]\eta = \frac{3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s}{2.3\ x \10^8\ m/s}[/tex]

If the distance between two objects is increased to four times the original distance.how will that increase change the force of attraction between the object

Answers

Answer:

Gravitational force becomes sixteen times lesser. The strength of the gravitational force between two objects is dependent on their mass. Gravitational force will be weaker if the objects move further away from each other.

This was used to solve for the gravitational force,

G = gravitational constant

m = mass of the first object

M = mass of the second object

d = distance between the two objects

[G * (m*M) / 16d^2] = 1/16

1. Figure 5.20 shows a graph of displacement against time for a wave.

(a) What is meant by amplitude?

(b) Determine the period of oscillation, T. Then, calculate the frequency of oscillation.

2. Compare and contrast progressive wave and stationary wave.​

Answers

Answer:

a) A = 3 cm,  b)  T = 0.4 s,   f = 2.5 Hz,

2) A standing wave the displacement of the wave is canceled and only one oscillation remains

Explanation:

a) in an oscillatory movement the amplitude is the highest value of the signal in this case

          A = 3 cm

b) the period of oscillation is the time it takes for the wave to repeat itself in this case

          T = 0.4 s

the period is the inverse of the frequency

         f = 1 /T

         f = 1 /, 0.4

         f = 2.5 Hz

2) a traveling wave is a wave for which as time increases the displacement increases, in the case of a transverse wave the oscillation is perpendicular to the displacement and in the case of a longitudinal wave the oscillation is in the same direction of the displacement.

A standing wave occurs when a traveling wave bounces off some object and there are two waves, one that travels in one direction and the other that travels in the opposite direction. In this case, the displacement of the wave is canceled and only one oscillation remains.

Mike roller skates with a constant speed of 10 miles per hour. How long will he take to travel a distance of 15 miles.

Answers

Answer:

So every hour he makes 10 miles.  So he would take 1 and a half hours to go to Mcdonalds 15 miles away.

Explanation:

[tex]\huge\boxed{{\textsf{90 minutes}}}[/tex]

We know that Mike's speed is [tex]\dfrac{10\ \text{miles}}{60\ \text{minutes}}[/tex] since there are [tex]60[/tex] minutes in an hour, and we know that MIke needs to travel [tex]15[/tex] miles. We'll model this using fractions:

[tex]\dfrac{10\ \text{miles}}{60\ \text{minutes}}=\dfrac{15\ \text{miles}}{x\ \text{minutes}}[/tex]

We can see that there is a [tex]2:3[/tex] ratio here, so we'll divide the left fraction by [tex]2[/tex] and multiply it by [tex]3[/tex] to get the right fraction.

[tex]\dfrac{10}{60}\Rightarrow\dfrac{5}{30}\Rightarrow\dfrac{15\ \text{miles}}{\boxed{90\ \text{minutes}}}[/tex]
