Answer:

6.62 m

About 44.14 grapefruits lined in a single line would be the length of the diameter of star Aldebaran

Explanation:

First we know,

Diameter of the Sun - 1.39 million km (Ds)

Diameter of Aldbaran - 61.40 million km (Da)

Thus,

\frac{Da}{Ds} =  \frac{61.40}{1.39} ≈ 44.14

We know that in this scale the size of the sun is that of a grapefruit.

The average diameter of a grapefruit is about 15cm

Thus  Ds in this scale is 15cm

Thus Da in this scale,

Da = Ds *44.14

Da = 0.15 * 44.14 ≈ 6.62 m

Thus the diameter of Aldebaran in this scale is 6.62 m

The rate at which light energy is radiated from a source is measured in which of the following units?
Over [174]
The correct option is D.
Lumen is used to quantify the amount of total light energy that a source is putting out in all direction, thus, it refers to luminous output of a light source. Initial lumen refers to the luminosity of a light when it was first turned on; the luminosity is highest at this point.

Assuming the bar has no weight where does the fulcrum (the top point of the tringle) need to be positioned for the two sides to
Inessa05 [86]

Fulcrum need to be positioned balanced with weight on both the sides following law of lever.

What is the physical law of the lever?

  • It is the foundation for issues with weight and balance. According to this rule, a lever is balanced when the weight multiplied by the arm on one side of the fulcrum, which serves as the pivot point for the device, equals the weight multiplied by the arm on the opposing side.
  • The lever is balanced, in other words, when the sum of the moments about the fulcrum is zero.
  • The situation in which the positive moments (those attempting to turn the lever clockwise) equal the negative moments is known as this (those that try to rotate it counterclockwise).
  • Moving the weights closer to or away from the fulcrum, as well as raising or lowering the weights, can alter the balance point, or CG, of the lever.
