Red shift is one piece of observational evidence which supports the big
bang theory. The fact that galaxies are moving away from us means that
the universe was once much smaller, supporting the big bang theory which
states that all the matter in the universe once occupied a single point
with infinite density.
D. It is personal in style.
It would be A because it would make sense
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:
First consider that each hand works as a fulcrum: a pivot point where the barbell can rotate.
Now consider only the left hand. If the center of mass of the barbell is between hands (in the middle) it is displaced respect the fulcrum, therefore the weight which is pushing the bar downwards becomes a rotational force. The same thing happens to the other hand. Now, if more weight is added to the left hand the center of mass is displaced towards the left hand and depending how much weight is added, the center of mass will change its position and therefore the torque each hand experiences changes.
If the center of mass is still between hands: The torque remains almost the same changing only the magnitudes but not the direction.
If the center of mass is on the hand: there is no torque for the left hand because there is no leaver.
If the center of mass is to the left: now the torque changes direction and both hands need to stop it in the same direction.
