Speed
- refers to how fast the object is
moving Photosphere- visible surface of star
- tells the distance the object where light comes from
travels in a period of time • Powerful balls of flaming gases
Formula: s = d/t Unit: m/s that emit electromagnetic waves
Where: in all directions
s = speed d = distance t = time • Stars are giant, luminous
spheres of plasma
Velocity • Tiny points of light separated
Formula: v = d/t Unit: m/s from by great distances
Where: v = velocity t= time Light Year- distance that light travels
d=distance in one year in vacuum at a constant
speed of 50 000 km per second.
Acceleration • 9.46 trillion or approximately 10
- A change in velocity million km
2. Absolute Magnitude
Fact: - Brightness of stars if placed at a
• A person can see only about 3,000 standard distance of 32.6 light
stars on the average years from the Earth.
• 400 billion of stars - “real” brightness of the star
• 100-200 billions of galaxies
• Only 10% can be studied due to the Relative Brightness of stars is
current astronomical technology expressed in a scale of six
magnitudes.
Differences/ Characteristics:
• Temperature • Size • First Magnitude Stars –
• Color • Mass brightest stars
• Brightness • Age • Six Magnitude Stars –
dimmest stars
Temperatures • The lower the number, the
Surface Temperature – (2,000- brighter the star is
50,000k) • Brightest stars have negative
Core Temperature- (6,000,000k) values
• Surface temperatures of stars • Hottest stars are the brightest
produce different colors while the coolest are the
dimmest
Color
Bluish and White Stars Size
Yellow Stars White Dwarfs
Reddish Stars - Same size of the Earth
- 12,742 Earth’s diameter
• The color that star appears is based
upon its temperature Red Supergiants – 1,500 times
larger than the sun. Sun having a

moving vehicle in one minute if + -
its speed is 5 m/s?

Equation #1
Vfy= Viy + gt Projectile Motion
Projectile- term for any object
Formula : Vfy= Viy + gt that is projected or thrown into
Solution: 0+ (-9.8 m/s2) (1 sec) the air
Final Answer: Vfy = -9.8 m/s2 Includes:
• object throwns horizontally
(2 secs) • object projected at an angle
Formula : Vfy= Viy + gt
Solution: 0+ (-9.8 m/s2) (2 s) Motion of projectile is affected only by
Final Answer: Vfy = -19.6 m/s2 The Pull of Gravity neglecting the
effects of Air Resistance

Formula : Vfy= Viy + gt Two-Dimensional Motion
Solution: 0+ (-9.8 m/s2) (3 s) Involves:
Final Answer: Vfy = -29.4 m/s 1. Uniform and Horizontal
Vertical and Accelerated
Vfy= Viy + gt a. Roll a ball along a horizontal
Vfy= 9.8 m/s + (-9.8m/s) (1s) surface, and its velocity is
Vfy= 9.8 m/s + (-9.8m/s) constant because no component
Vfy= 0 m/s of gravitational force acts
horizontally.
Vfy= Viy + gt b. Drop it, and it accelerates
Vfy= 9.8 m/s + (-9.8m/s) (2s) downward and covers a greater
Vfy= 9.8 m/s + (-19.6) vertical distance each second.
Vfy= -9.8 m/s The motion of a body thrown
horizontally ➡
Vfy= Viy + gt 1. Horizontal Velocity (Vx) that is
Vfy= 9.8 m/s + (-9.8m/s) (3s) constant
