Answer:
The farther star will appear 4 times fainter than the star that is near to the observer.
Explanation:
Since it is given that the luminosity of the 2 stars is same thus they radiate the same energy per unit time
Consider a spherical wave front of energy 'E' that leaves both the stars (Both radiate 'E' as they have same luminosity)
This Energy is spread over the whole surface area of sphere Thus when the wave front is at a distance 'r' the energy per unit surface area is given by

For the star that is twice away from the earth the distance is '2r' thus we will receive an energy given by
Hence we sense it as 4 times fainter than the nearer star.
Explanation:
When Joe works alone, the total number of words he typed can be given by:
Total words = (40 words per minute) x (60 minutes per hour) x (2.5 hours)
Total words = 6000 words
Now, when Joe and Mark work together, let 'y' be the number of hours for which they both work simultaneously:
Total words = Words Typed by Joe + Words Typed by Mark
6000 = {(40 words per minute) x (60 minutes per hours) x (y hours)} + {(20 words per minute) x (60 minutes per hours) x (y hours)}
6000 = 2400y + 1200y = 3600y
y = 1.67 hours = 1 hour and 40 minutes
Thus, working together simultaneously, Joe and Mark will take 1 hour and 40 minutes to complete the report.
Answer:
The amount of mass that needs to be converted to release that amount of energy is 
Explanation:
From Albert Einstein's Energy equation, we can understand that mass can get converted to energy, using the formula

where
= change in mass
c = speed of light = 
Making m the subject of the formula, we can find the change in mass to be

There fore, the amount of mass that needs to be converted to release that amount of energy is 1.122 X 10 ^-7 kg
