Answer:

Procyon appears brighter in the sky

Explanation:

Apparent magnitude of star Antares = 1.0

Apparent magnitude of star Procyon = 0.4

Pogson's Ratio

m₂-m₁ =  -2.50 log(B₂/B₁)

where, m is the apparent magnitude

B = Brightness of star or flux coming towards us (W/m²)

∴Larger magnitudes correspond to fainter stars so here 1>0.4 which means Antares appears dimmer and Procyon appears brighter.

What's the Coulomb's law?

<span>
In layman's term: </span>like charges don't attract while opposite charges do<span>electrostatic forces between point A( which is charged) and point B (which is also charged) are proportional to the charge of point A and point B. </span><span>there is also something else about this  law that I don't quite remember.</span>

<span>___________________________________________________</span>

<span />Here is the formula:

<span>F = k x Q1 x Q2/d^<span>2</span></span>

<span>What the formula means:</span>

F=force between charges

Q1 and Q2= amount of charge

d=distance between these two charges

k= Coulombs constant (proportionally constant)

I think that about covers it and hopefully this helped.

Define what is physics​
Lisa [10]

In my own words, I would say that physics is an area of science that seeks to explain and understand the fundamental nature of the dynamics of objects, essentially defining how objects can interact, in space and in time.
