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.

Answer:

Explanation:

1. The net force acting on an object is the combination of all of the individual forces acting on it.

2. If two forces act on an object in opposite directions, the net force is the difference between the two forces.

3. If two forces act on an object in the same direction, the net force is the sum of the two forces.

Two students suggest different functions for the battery plays a flashlight.
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Student b

Explanation:

Because, Battery pumps the charges around the circuit. Here, charges are the free electrons. And this charges are already present in the conductor. When we connect this conductor with the battery - It set up an electric field and The diffrence between the potential between the ends of the wire pushes this free charges to move in perticular direction. (This is called electric energy)

This electric energy is converted by chemical reactions in the battery. When the battery is dead - It means that the chemical energy producing chemicals has been consumed. thereafter there will be no more chemical reactions takes place to produce electric energy. Hence we say that the battery is dead.
