Answer:

Absolute Magnitude

Explanation:

Magnitude is a measure of the star's brightness that is how much light is emitted from it. It is measured in two ways: Absolute and Apparent.

Apparent magnitude is how bright it is as observed from the Earth.

The luminosity (brightness) of the star as seen from Earth when kept at a distance of 10 Parsec (32.6 Light Years) is the absolute magnitude.

Out of the given options in the question Absolute magnitude is right answer as it gives an exact measure of the brightness of the star which is directly related to the light emitted by it.

The amount of light that a star gives off is actually brightness. But given the choices, I think it is the measure of the light that is asked. The answer is Absolute magnitude. This is the measure of the magnitude of brightness. This is usually used in celestial objects. <span>

A shaving or makeup mirror is designed to magnify your face by a factor of 1.40 when your face is placed 20.0cm in front of it
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

(a) convex mirror

(b) virtual and magnified

(c) 23.3 cm

Explanation:

The having mirror is convex mirror.

distance of object, u = - 20 cm

magnification, m = 1.4

(a) As the image is magnified and virtual , so the mirror is convex in nature.

(b) The image is virtual and magnified.

(c) Let the distance of image is v.

Use the formula of magnification.

m =-\frac{v}{u}\\1.4=-\frac{v}{-20}\\v =28 cm

Use the mirror equation, let the focal length is f.

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}\\\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{28}+\frac{1}{20}\\\frac{1}{f}=\frac{28+20}{560}\\f=11.67cm

Radius of curvature, R = 2 f = 2 x 11.67 = 23.3 cm

A standard 1 kilogram weight is a cylinder 54.0 mm in height and 55.0 mm in diameter. what is the density of the material
denis-greek [22]

The radius of the cylinder is equal to half the diameter:

r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{55.0 mm}{2}=27.5 mm

The volume of the cylinder is given by:

V=\pi r^2 h=\pi (27.5 mm)^2 (54.0 mm)=1.28 \cdot 10^5 mm^3

where h is the heigth of the cylinder. Converting into meters,

V=1.28 \cdot 10^{-4} m^3

And the density of the material will be given by the ratio between the mass and the volume:

d=\frac{m}{V}=\frac{1 kg}{1.28 \cdot 10^{-4} m^3}=7812.5 kg/m^3

Ramesh announced in class: ''Yesterday I had fever and my body temperature was 100 degrees.'' Ravi said: ''We learnt in the last
pogonyaev

Answer:

D. Ramesh and Ravi are correct, but they are using different measurement scales.

\Huge{\underline{\textrm{Explanation}}}Explanation

Here, Ravi says that his body temperature is 100 degrees, but does not mention that whether it is 100 degrees Celsius or 100 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature of a human body is more than 100.4 degree Fahrenheit (38°C), or near to it, the person is considered to have fever.

The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius and not 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

Thus, they both are using different measurement scales.
