Answer:

100,000 times

Explanation:

Luminosity is the measure of brightness of a star. It is measured by examining the radiant energy emitted by the stars per second. Rigel's radius is about 80 times that of the Sun's radius. Therefore, its luminosity is about 100,000 times the sun’s luminosity.

If the distance between the Earth and Moon were half what it is now, by what factor would the force of gravity between them be c

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

$m_1$ = Mass of Earth

$m_2$ = Mass of Moon

r = Distance between Earth and Moon

Old gravitational force

$F_o=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}$

New gravitational force

$F_n=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{(\dfrac{1}{2}r)^2}$

Dividing the equations

$\dfrac{F_n}{F_o}=\dfrac{\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{(\dfrac{1}{2}r)^2}}{\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_n}{F_o}=\dfrac{\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{\dfrac{1}{4}r^2}}{\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_n}{F_o}=4$

The ratio is $\dfrac{F_n}{F_o}=4$

The new force would be 4 times the old force

a basketball player can leap upward .65m how long does the basketball player remain in the air use 9.81m/s²

tigry1 [53]

At the player's maximum height, their velocity is 0. Recall that

${v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta y$

which tells us the player's initial velocity $v_i$ is

$0^2-{v_i}^2=-2g(0.65\,\mathrm m)\implies v_i=3.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

The player's height at time $t$ is given by

$y=v_it-\dfrac g2t^2$

so we find their airtime to be

$0.65\,\mathrm m=\left(3.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2\implies t=0.36\,\mathrm s$

Two tuning forks of frequency 480 hz and 484 hz are struck simultaneously. what is the beat frequency resulting from the two sou

umka21 [38]

Ans: Beat frequency = $f_b$ = 4Hz

Explanation:
The beat frequency is equal to the absolute value of the difference in frequency of the two waves. In other words, the number of beats per second is equal to the difference in frequency. It is due to the destructive and constructive interference. According to this interference, sound will be soft or loud.

Hence. the formula is:
Beat frequency = $f_b = |f_2 - f_1|$

Since,
 $f_1 = 480Hz$
$f_2 = 484Hz$

Therefore,
Beat frequency = $f_b = |484 - 480|$

=> Beat frequency = $f_b = 4Hz$
