The quasar that appears the brightest in our sky, 3c 273, is located at a distance of 2.4 billion light-years. the sun would have to be viewed from a distance of 1300 light-years to have the same apparent magnitude as 3c 273. using the inverse square law for light, estimate the luminosity of 3c 273 in solar units.

1. consider the case in which air fills air shocks on a truck trailer. the pressure in the shocks is 2 mpa. the temperature is 300 k. the diameter of the shock piston is 10 cm and the initial length of the cylindrical cavity containing the compressed air is 40 cm. a. the truck is gradually loaded over a period of a day in a static setting. the temperature is held constant for the atmosphere and thus for the gas shock. calculate the compressibility of the air in the shock for this condition when the truck is initially being loaded. b. if the shocks were loaded in a dynamic setting by driving over bumps, what would be the compressibility? state your assumption. c. what is the initial load on the shock if the shock is in an atmospheric 100 kpa? d. if the shock is compressed using the process described in part a, and the air shock compressed air cavity length decreases to 20 cm, what is the additional load applied to the shock?

From center station, a train departs every 30 minutes on the fast line and a train departs every 50 minutes on the state line. if two trains depart from center station at 8: 00 a. m., one on each of the two lines, what is the next time that two trains, one on each line, will depart at the same time?
