What factor affects the absolute brightness of a star?
Energy output, as absolute brightness (magnitude) is taken at a standard distance of 10 parsecs.
The true brightness of a star is called its BLANK magnitude?
The scale of star brightness is the 'magnitude'. The definition of the magnitude is: A change of six magnitudes equals a factor of 100. So one magnitude change is a factor equal to the 6th root of 100 = about 2.15443 (rounded)
What is the main factor in determining the risk that location might have an earthquake?
Magnitude :D
State any one factor which determines the kinetic energy of a body?
One factor affecting the kinetic energy of a particle (or body) in is the viscosity of the medium through which that particle moves
An earthquake with magnitude 7.5 has how many more times the energy than a 6.5 earthquake?
Seismic energy increases by a factor of about 31.6 for each increase of magnitude, so a magnitude 3 earthquake has 31.6 times more energy released than a magnitude 2 earthquake.
Is the size of a star the only factor that determines the stars absolute magnitude?
yes yes it does
Is the size of the star the only factor that determines that star's absolute magnitude?
yes yes it does
How does apparent magnitude of a star differ from absolute magnitude?
Apparent magnitude is the brightness as observed from earth, while absolute magnitude is the brightness of a star at a set distance. The apparent magnitude considers the stars actual brightness as well as it's distance from us, but absolute magnitude takes the distance factor out so that star brightnesses can be directly compared.
What factor affects the absolute brightness of a star?
Energy output, as absolute brightness (magnitude) is taken at a standard distance of 10 parsecs.
In addition to the distance from a charged particle what other factor determines the magnitude of the electric potential?
Another factor that determines the magnitude of the electric potential is the amount of charge on the particle creating the electric field. The electric potential is directly proportional to the charge creating the field.
The true brightness of a star is called its BLANK magnitude?
The scale of star brightness is the 'magnitude'. The definition of the magnitude is: A change of six magnitudes equals a factor of 100. So one magnitude change is a factor equal to the 6th root of 100 = about 2.15443 (rounded)
How bright is a star really is?
We use the phrase "absolute magnitude" to describe how bright a star really is, and "apparent magnitude" to describe how bright it looks from Earth. The lower the number, the brighter the star. Like the Richter scale of earthquakes, the scale is logarithmic; a change of "1" indicates a difference of a factor of 10. For example, the bright red supergiant star Betelgeuse, at the upper left corner of the constellation Orion, has an absolute magnitude of -5.14, and an apparent magnitude of 0.58. Our Sun has an absolute magnitude of 4.83, and an apparent magnitude of -27.6.
How many times brighter is a cepheid variable of absolute magniture -3 than a white dwarf of absolute magnitude of 7?
That is a difference of ten magitudes so the factor in brightness is 10,000.
In addition to the distance between to particles what other factor determines the magnitude of the electric force between the particles?
The magnitude of the electric force between particles is also determined by the amount of charge on each particle. The greater the charge, the stronger the electric force.
Are earthquakes dangerous to living beings?
Earthquakes are dangerous if they are of any magnitude and are considered a density independent factor. This means that regardless of the population size of a species inhabiting the impacted area, all species are affected. Again, the magnitude of a quake is what determines the amount of damage potential that it has.
Which is a factor in calculating the moment magnitude of an earthquake?
magnitude of past earthquakes in the area
What is order if magnitude?
A magnitude is factor of 10 An order of magnitude is a factor of "about 10". Two orders of magnitude is about 100. For example, if something is two orders of magnitude higher than 3, it would be about 300. Order in this case means about, or approximate. To the nearest order of magnitude , 3200 is 3000
