If it were possible to move a star towards the earth then its apparent magnitude number would decrease while its absolute magnitude number would stay the same.

Definition of apparent magnitude:

The luminosity of a celestial body (such as a star) as observed from the earth compare absolute magnitude.

So for example, the apparent magnitude of the Sun is -26.7 and is the brightest celestial object we can see from Earth. However, if the Sun were 10 parsecs away, its apparent magnitude would be +4.7, only about as bright as Ganymede appears to us on Earth.

Definition of absolute magnitude:

Absolute magnitude is a measure of the luminosity of a celestial object on an inverse logarithmic astronomical magnitude scale.

Vesna [10]
Missing question in the text:
"A.What are the magnitude and direction of the electric field at the point in question?

B.<span>What would be the magnitude and direction of the force acting on a proton placed at this same point in the electric field?"</span>

<span>Solution:

A) A charge q </span>under an electric field of intensity E will experience a force F  equal to:

F=qE

In our problem we have q=-2.5 nC=-2.5\cdot 10^{-9} C and F=18 nN = 18 \cdot 10^{-9} N, so we can find the magnitude of the electric field:

E= \frac{F}{q}= \frac{18\cdot 10^{-9}N}{2.5\cdot 10^{-9}C}=7.2 V/m

The charge is negative, therefore it moves against the direction of the field lines. If the force is pushing down the charge, then the electric field lines go upward.

B) The proton charge is equal to

e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C

Therefore, the magnitude of the force acting on the proton will be

F=eE=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C \cdot 7.2 V/m=1.15 \cdot 10^{-18} N

And since the proton has positive charge, the verse of the force is the same as the verse of the field, so upward.

what happens to the gravitational force when the distance between them stays the same and the mass of both objects is doubled
Dimas [21]

Answer:

The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. If one of the masses is doubled, the force of gravity between the objects is doubled. increases, the force of gravity decreases.

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

SEE EXPLANATION

Explanation:

p =  \frac{fd}{t}  \\ where \: \\p  = power \\  f = force \\ d = distance \\ and \: t = time \\  \\ p =  \frac{3800 \times 50}{10}  \\ p =  \frac{190000}{10}  \\ p = 19000w
