Suppose we could move Earth to the distance at which Jupiter orbits the Sun. Jupiter is much more massive than Earth, and orbits every 11.9 years. What would the Earth's new period be? options: A. It would remain 1 year B. Between 1 and 11.9 years C. Also 11.9 years D. More than 11.9 years E. It would depend on the speed given to Earth F. It's impossible for a smaller massed planet like Earth to orbit at Jupiter's distance.

Based on your answers to the previous questions, what is the relationship between brightness and apparent magnitude? Question 4 options: brighter stars have smaller apparent magnitudes there is no relationship between brightness and apparent magnitude brighter stars have larger apparent magnitudes Would a star of apparent magnitude -2.0 be brighter than Sirius or fainter? Question 5 options: fainter than Sirius brighter than Sirius. While apparent magnitude measures how bright a star appears to us on Earth, absolute magnitude measures the...

Observer S detects two flashes of light. A big flash occurs at x1 = 1020 m and, 4.34 μs later, a small flash occurs at x2 = 690 m. As detected by observer S', the two flashes occur at a single coordinate x'. (a) What is the speed parameter of S', and (b) is S' moving in the positive or negative direction of the x-axis? To S', (c) which flash occurs first and (d) what is the time interval between...

The Helios spacecraft traveling at a speed of 0.60 c relative to the Earth-Sun system, detects the explosion of a very powerful solar flare at it passes by the Sun on its way to Earth. Sometime later on Earth, the constellation of satellites used to track GPS positions fails. Using the data from the Helios spacecraft as it passes by Earth, scientists calculate that the solar flare happened 7.0 min before the failure of the satellites, according to clocks on...

1. If the Earth–Moon distance were greater than the Earth–Sun distance would an observer on the Earth be able to see the Moon in its first quarter phase? If your answer is “yes”, draw a diagram showing how this could be true. If your answer is “no”, explain why a first quarter Moon would be impossible.

A distant star is found to have twice the surface temperature as our sun Tstar= 2Tsun. However, the total power emitted from that star’s surface is found to be four times the power emitted from our sun’s surface. (a) how do you think we know the surface temperature of that star without ever visiting it?(1 point) (b) What can you tell about the radius Rstar of that star compared to the radius Rsun of our sun?(2 points) Rstar/Rsun=
