What is Eridanus's magnitude?

"Magnitude" is usually indicated for individual stars, not for an entire constellation like Eridanus. You could add the magnitude of the 100 or 1000 brightest stars or so, for any constellation (after converting from the magnitude scale, which is logarithmic, to a linear scale), but since this serves no real purpose, this is not something that you find published anywhere.


The brighter the star the small the magnitude?

Magnitudes of stars start in the negative, so the brightest star from Earth is of course the Sun, so it has an apparent magnitude of -26.74 (Note negative), whereas Polaris (The North Star) has an apparent magnitude of +1.97 See related question for differences between apparent and absolute magnitude.


What is the difference between the Haitian earthquake and the Chilean earthquake?

The two earthquakes occurred due to differing types of fault movement (thrust faulting in the Chilean quake vs strike slip faulting in the Haitian quake) and at two differing types of plate boundaries. In the case of the Chilean earthquake, this was at a convergent boundary where the Nazca oceanic plate is being subducted under the continental South American plate as opposed to the Haitian earthquake which occurred at a transform boundary between the Caribbean and North American plates which are both moving east but at differing speeds. The Haitian earthquake was also of lower magnitude (magnitude 7.0) than the Chilean earthquake (magnitude 8.8) however it caused more damage and led to a much larger number of injuries and fatalities due to the poor construction techniques used in Haiti. Please see the related questions for more information.


What is the magnitude of 9000000?

The magnitude of 9000000 is 9,000,000.


What term means the measure of energy released by an earthquake?

The measure of energy released by an earthquake depends on its magnitude. If its a high magnitude earthquake, there is a lot of energy. If there is a low magnitude, then there is little energy.

What is the absolute magnitude of the constellation scorpius?

Constellations don't have an absolute magnitude. That is a property of individual stars.


What is the angle between the two vectors if their sum has a magnitude of 2F?

We can't answer that without also knowing the magnitude of the individual vectors.


What terms takes into consideration the brightness of a star but ignores the differences that distance can make?

"Apparent magnitude" is the star's brightness after the effects of distance. "Absolute magnitude" is the star's brightness at a standard distance.


What takes into consideration the brightness of a star but ignores the differences that distance can make?

Absolute magnitude


What is the magnitude of the resultant force when forces of magnitude are combined?

-- When forces of unequal magnitude are added, the magnitude of the sum can be anything between the difference and sum of the individual magnitudes, depending on the angle between them. -- When forces of equal magnitude are added, the magnitude of the sum can be anything between zero and double the individual magnitudes, depending on the angle between them.

Suppose you have two vectors that have different magnitudes can the vectors sum ever be zero?

No. The largest possible resultant magnitude is the sum of the individual magnitudes.The smallest possible resultant magnitude is the difference of the individual magnitudes.


What is the magnitude of proactive interference effects?

Proactive interference effects can vary depending on the individual and the specific task involved. Generally, the magnitude of proactive interference is greater when the interfering information is similar to the target information and when the retention interval between learning and recall is longer. Other factors, such as cognitive load and individual differences in working memory capacity, can also influence the extent of proactive interference effects.
