An astronomy student, for her PhD, really needs to estimate the age of a cluster of stars. Which of the following would be part of the process she would follow?
A. plot an H-R diagram for the stars in the cluster
B. count the number of M type stars in the cluster
C. measure the Doppler shift of a number of the stars in the cluster
D. search for planets like Jupiter around the stars in the center of the cluster
E. search for x-rays coming from the center of the cluster
Answer:
A. plot an H-R diagram for the stars in the cluster.
Explanation:
A star cluster can be defined as a constellation of stars, due to gravitational force, which has the same origin.
The astronomy student would have to plot an H-R diagram for the stars in the cluster and determine the age of the cluster by observing the turn-off point. The turn-off is majorly as a result of gradual depletion of the source of energy of the star. Thus, it projects off the constellation.
An air conditioner connected to a 103 V rms AC line is equivalent to a 20 resistance and a 1.68 inductive reactance in series. a) What is the impedance of the air conditioner
Answer:
20.07ohms
Explanation:
Impedance is defined as the opposition to the flow of current through the elements of the circuit.
Impedance for R-L AC circuit is expressed as Z = √R²+XL²
R is the resistance
XL is the inductive reactance.
Given resistance of the air condition = 20 ohms
Inductive reactance XL = 1.68 ohms
Z = √20²+1.68²
Z = √400+2.8224
Z = √402.8224
Z = 20.07 ohms
Hence the impedance of the air conditioner is 20.07ohms

A container with volume 1.83 L is initially evacuated. Then it is filled with 0.246 g of N2. Assume that the pressure of the gas is low enough for the gas to obey the ideal-gas law to a high degree of accuracy. If the root-mean-square speed of the gas molecules is 192 m/s, what is the pressure of the gas?
Answer:
The pressure is [tex]P = 1652 \ Pa[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The volume of the container is [tex]V = 1.83 \ L = 1.83 *10^{-3 } \ m^3[/tex]
The mass of [tex]N_2[/tex] is [tex]m_n = 0.246 \ g = 0.246 *10^{-3} \ kg[/tex]
The root-mean-square velocity is [tex]v = 192 \ m/s[/tex]
The root -mean square velocity is mathematically represented as
[tex]v = \sqrt{ \frac{3 RT}{M_n } }[/tex]
Now the ideal gas law is mathematically represented as
[tex]PV = nRT[/tex]
=> [tex]RT = \frac{PV}{n }[/tex]
Where n is the number of moles which is mathematically represented as
[tex]n = \frac{ m_n }{M }[/tex]
Where M is the molar mass of [tex]N_2[/tex]
So
[tex]RT = \frac{PVM_n }{m _n }[/tex]
=> [tex]v = \sqrt{ \frac{3 \frac{P* V * M_n }{m_n } }{M_n } }[/tex]
=> [tex]v = \sqrt{ \frac{ 3 * P* V }{m_n } } }[/tex]
=> [tex]P = \frac{v^2 * m_n}{3 * V }[/tex]
substituting values
=> [tex]P = \frac{( 192)^2 * 0.246 *10^{-3}}{3 * 1.83 *10^{-3} }[/tex]
=> [tex]P = 1652 \ Pa[/tex]
An electron, moving toward the west, enters a uniform magnetic field. Because of this field the electron curves upward. The direction of the magnetic field is
Answer:
The magnetic field's direction is towards the north
Explanation:
The force on a positive charge in a uniform magnetic field is represented by the right hand rule. To determine the direction of the force, place your right hand with your palm up, and your thumb at 90° to the other fingers. If the fingers represent the magnetic field, and the thumb the direction of the positive charge, then the palm will push up in the direction of the force. But a negative charge like an electron pushes in exactly the opposite direction. So if you follow this rule, you will find that the magnetic field points towards the north.
The direction of the magnetic field is towards the North. This can be
determined using the right hand rule by Fleming.
The right hand rule states that to determine the direction of the magnetic
force, the right thumb should be pointed in in the direction of the velocity,
index finger in the direction of the magnetic field and middle finger in the
direction of magnetic force.
When this is applied, we will discover that the index finger will point towards
the north region.

Therefore, the speed is 0.105 m/s and it moves in the opposite direction.
Find the total energy (ft-lb) of an aircraft weighing 20,000 lbs at 5,000 ft true altitude and 200 KTS true air speed. Group of answer choices
Answer:
Hello the options to your question is missing below are the options
2 x 10^8 ft-lb
15527950 ft-lb
2.8 x 10^7 ft-lb
13.55 x 10^7 ft-lb
Answer : 13.55 * 10^7 ft-Ib
Explanation:
Given data :
weight of Aircraft (p) = 20000 Ibs
height ( h ) = 5000 ft
Velocity = 200 KTS = 370 km/h ( 10277 m/s) where 1 KTS = 1185 km/h
calculate the total energy
Total energy = potential energy + kinetic energy
potential energy = mgh = p * h =20000 * 5000 = 100 * 10^6 ft-Ibs
kinetic energy = 1/2 mv^2 = 1/2 * 625 * (33709)^2 = 3551 *10^6 ft-Ibs
where ; m = p/g = 20000 / 32 = 625 Ibs
v = 10277 m/s ≈ 33709 ft/s
hence total energy = 100 * 10^6 + 3551 * 10^6 = 1355*10^7 ft-Ibs
A tornado passes in front of a building, causing the pressure to drop there by 25% in 1 second. Part A If a door on the side of the building is 8.1 feet tall and 3 feet wide, what is the net force on the closed door.
Answer:
F_net = 264, 26 pound
Explanation:
For this exercise we use Newton's second law
F_net = F_int - F_outside
where the force can be found from the definition of pressure
P = F / A
F = P A
we substitute
F_net = P_inside A - P_outside A
F_net = A (P_inside - P_outside)
indicate that the pressure on the outside is 25% less than the pressure on the inside
P_outside = 0.25 P_inside
The area is
A = L W
we substitute
F_net = L W P_inside (1-0.25)
let's calculate
suppose the pressure inside is atmospheric pressure
P_inside= P_atmospheric = 1,013 10⁵ Pa = 14.7 PSI
F_net = 8.1 3 14.5 0.75
F_net = 264, 26 pound
Two small plastic spheres are given positive electrical charges. When they are 20.0 cm apart, the repulsive force between them has magnitude 0.200 N.
1. What is the charge on each sphere if the two charges are equal? (C)
2. What is the charge on each sphere if one sphere has four times the charge of the other? (C)
Answer:
A. 2.97x 10^-6C
B. 1.48x10^ -6 C
Explanation:
Pls see attached file
Answer:
1) +9.4 x 10^-7 C
2) +4.72 x 10^-7 C and +1.9 x 10^-6 C
Explanation:
The two positive charges will repel each other
Repulsive force on charges = 0.200 N
distance apart = 20.0 cm = 0.2 m
charge on each sphere = ?
Electrical force on charged spheres at a distance is given as
F = [tex]\frac{kQq}{r^{2} }[/tex]
where F is the force on the spheres
k is the Coulomb's constant = 8.98 x 10^9 kg⋅m³⋅s⁻²⋅C⁻²
Q is the charge on of the spheres
q is the charge on the other sphere
r is their distance apart
since the charges are equal, i.e Q = q, the equation becomes
F = [tex]\frac{kQ^{2} }{r^{2} }[/tex]
making Q the subject of the formula
==> Q = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{Fr^{2} }{k} }[/tex]
imputing values into the equation, we have
Q = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{0.2*0.2^{2} }{8.98*10^{9} } }[/tex] = +9.4 x 10^-7 C
If one charge has four times the charge on the other, then
charge on one sphere = q
charge on the other sphere = 4q
product of both charges = [tex]4q^{2}[/tex]
we then have
F = [tex]\frac{4kq^{2} }{r^{2} }[/tex]
making q the subject of the formula
==> q = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{Fr^{2} }{4k} }[/tex]
imputing values into the equation, we have
q = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{0.2*0.2^{2} }{4*8.98*10^{9} } }[/tex] = +4.72 x 10^-7 C
charge on other sphere = 4q = 4 x 4.72 x 10^-7 = +1.9 x 10^-6 C
When the magnet falls toward the copper block, the changing flux in the copper creates eddy currents that oppose the change in flux. The resulting braking force between the magnet and the copper block always opposes the motion of the magnet, slowing it as it falls. The rate of the fall produces a rate of flux change sufficient to produce a current that provides the braking force. If the copper is cooled with liquid nitrogen, the resistivity of the copper drops dramatically. How will this affect the speed at which the magnet falls toward the copper
Answer:
The speed at which the magnet falls through the copper block will be reduced dramatically.
Explanation:
Eddy's current are loops of electrical current induced within conductors by a changing magnetic field in the conductor. Eddy's current is proportional to the the magnetic field strength, the rate of change of flux, the area of the loop, and is inversely proportional to the resistivity of the material. Eddy currents flows perpendicularly to the magnetic field, and in closed loops within conductors.
Reducing the resistivity of the copper will increase the Eddy current on the copper, which will in turn increase the opposition to the action producing the flux change (the falling magnet through the copper block). The result is that the speed at which the magnet falls through the copper block will be reduced dramatically.
In a system with only a single force acting upon a body, what is the relationship between the change in kinetic energy and the work done by the force?
Answer: W.D = 1/2mv^2
Explanation:
If an external force or a single force is acting on a body. Just like the first law of thermodynamics, the force acting on the body will cause work done on the system.
Work done = force × distance
And the work done on the body will cause the molecules of the body to experience motion and thereby producing kinetic energy.
The work done will be converted to kinetic energy.
W.D = 1/2mv^2

At a fixed point, P, the electric and magnetic field vectors in an electromagnetic wave oscillate at angular frequency w . At what angular frequency does the Poynting vector oscillate at that point
Answer:
Poynting vector oscillate at a frequency of 2omega
Explanation:
This is because The poynting vector is proportional to the cross product of electric and magnetic field vectors. So Because both fields oscillate sinusoidally with frequency w, trigonometric identities show that their product is a sinusoidal function of frequency of 2w.
What are the approximate dimensions of the smallest object on Earth that astronauts can resolve by eye when they are orbiting 275 km above the Earth
Answer:
s_400 = 16.5 m , s_700 = 29.4 m
Explanation:
The limit of the human eye's solution is determined by the diffraction limit that is given by the expression
θ = 1.22 λ / D
where you lick the wavelength and D the mediator of the circular aperture.
In our case, the dilated pupil has a diameter of approximately 8 mm = 8 10-3 m and the eye responds to a wavelength between 400 nm and 700 nm.
by introducing these values into the formula
λ = 400 nm θ = 1.22 400 10⁻⁹ / 8 10⁻³ = 6 10⁻⁵ rad
λ = 700 nm θ = 1.22 700 10⁻⁹ / 8 10⁻³-3 = 1.07 10⁻⁴ rad
Now we can use the definition radians
θ= s / R
where s is the supported arc and R is the radius. Let's find the sarcos for each case
λ = 400 nm s_400 = θ R
S_400 = 6 10⁻⁵ 275 10³
s_400 = 16.5 m
λ = 700 nm s_ 700 = 1.07 10⁻⁴ 275 10³
s_700 = 29.4 m
Comparing helium atoms with nitrogen molecules at the same temperature, the helium atoms on average are moving _______ and have _______ kinetic energy.
Answer:
Helium atoms compared to nitrogen atoms are moving faster and have a greater kinetic energy.
Explanation:
The molecular velocity of a gas at room temperature is inverse proportional to the square root of its molecular mass.
The greater the molecular mass of the gas the lesser the average speed of its molecules. Comparing the molecular masses of nitrogen and helium, helium is found to have a lower molecular mass and a corresponding greater velocity.
Hence helium moves faster than nitrogen and has a higher kinetic energy than nitrogen

A charged particle is moving with speed v perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. A second identical charged particle is moving with speed 2v perpendicular to the same magnetic field. If the frequency of revolution of the first particle is f, the frequency of revolution of the second particle is
Answer:
the frequency of revolution of the second particle is f
Explanation:
centripetal force is balanced by the magnetic force for object under magnetic field is given as
Mv²/r= qvB
But v= omega x r
Omega= 2pi x f
f= qB/2pi x M
So since frequency does not depend on the velocity.therefore the frequency of revolution of the second particle remains the same and its equal to f
6) Set the battery to a value between 0.0 V and 1.5 V. Now drag the voltage meter toward the capacitor and move the red and black leads to measure the voltage. Determine the potential difference between the two plates and whether the top plate is at higher or lower voltage than the bottom plate.
Answer:
A) 1.5 v
B) Top plate is at higher voltage than the bottom plate
Explanation:
Battery value set between 0.0 V and 1.5 V
a) The potential difference between the plates
Δ V = V1( potential at top plate) - V2( potential at lower plate )
potential at top plate = 1.5 V
potential at lower plate = 0.0 V
hence potential difference = 1.5 V
b ) The top plate is always connected to the positive terminal of the DC source ( which is at a higher potential )while the bottom plate is connected to the negative terminal of the DC source ( which is at a lower potential )
hence the Top plate is at higher voltage than the bottom plate

Two parallel plates have charges of equal magnitude but opposite sign. What change could be made to increase the strength of the electric field between the plates
Answer:
The electric field strength between the plates can be increased by decreasing the length of each side of the plates.
Explanation:
The electric field strength is given by;
[tex]E = \frac{V}{d}[/tex]
where;
V is the electric potential of the two opposite charges
d is the distance between the two parallel plates
[tex]E =\frac{V}{d} = \frac{\sigma}{\epsilon _o} \\\\(\sigma = \frac{Q}{A} )\\\\E = \frac{Q}{A\epsilon_o} \\\\E = \frac{Q}{L^2\epsilon_o}[/tex]
Where;
ε₀ is permittivity of free space
L is the length of each side of the plates
From the equation above, the electric field strength can be increased by decreasing the length of each side of the plates.
Therefore, decreasing the length of each side of the plates, could be made to increase the strength of the electric field between the plates
A sailor strikes the side of his ship just below the surface of the sea. He hears the echo of the wave reflected from the ocean floor directly below 2.5 ss later.
How deep is the ocean at this point? (Note: Use the bulk modulus method to determine the speed of sound in this fluid, rather than using a tabluated value.)
_____ m
Answer:
1248m
The time that wave moves from the wave source to the ocean floor is half the total travel time: t = 2.5/2 = 1.25s
The speed of sound in seawater is 1560 m/s
Therefore, s = vt = (1560 m/s)(1.25s) =1248 m = 1.2km
