Textbook Question
Chapter 18, Problem 19EAP
Decide whether tile statement makes sense (or is clearly true) or does not make sense (or is clearly false). Explain clearly, not all of these have definitive answers, so your explanation is more important than your chosen answer
19. It’s the year 2030. and scientists have just learned that there is a 10Ms black hole lurking near Pluto’s orbit.

- Astronomy Briefly explain what evidence we can use to learn about the lives of stars even though their lives are far longer than human lives. Why do HR diagrams look different for star clusters of different ages? How do we use the diagram to determine the age of the cluster? How can we estimate how much longer the lifetime of a low-mass star is than the lifetime of a high-mass star? How do we use parallax to measure the distance to stars? Explain the inverse square law for light. If we know the distance to a star, how do we find its luminosity? If we know the luminosity of a star, how do we find the distance? What are apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude? How do they relate to apparent brightness and luminosity? What is meant by spectral type? What spectral type is the hottest? Which is the coolest? What is meant by luminosity class? What are the three basic types of binary stars?arrow_forwardAround 2.5 centuries ago, several physicists of the time came up with the notion of a dark star. This was a star so dense, with so much gravity, that not even light could escape. The calculations used Newtonian mechanics. In class, we calculated the escape speed from the surface of the earth or the distance from the sun, and the mass of the planet or star. Here, the process is partially reversed. Calculate the dark star radius from the mass of the star and the escape speed. Answer in kilometers. c = 3*108 m/s M = 2.4*1030 kg G = 2/3 * 10-10 N*m2/kg2arrow_forwardThe law of conservation of energy states that energy can be converted from one form to another but cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, the amount of energy in the universe is constant. In your initial post to the discussion, respond to the following prompts: What do you think would happen if energy were not conserved? Think of (and share) two scenarios in which our lives would be drastically altered if this law of conservation was not in place. At least one of your scenarios should be at the molecular level. Would the implications be positive? Negative? Explain.arrow_forward
- Why are so many astronomical objects in the universe flat today? (Like the solar system, Saturn's ring, black hole accretion discs) Let's focus on our galaxy. Originally, the galaxy was a huge spherical cloud of gas and dust, much larger than it is today, and rotating much more slowly. Explain using gravity and the conservation of angular momentum, why the galaxy today is a flat disc that rotates faster.arrow_forwardWhat is a gravitational wave and why was it so hard to detect?arrow_forward
