intensity of a star is inversely depends on the square of the distance from the star

we can say it is given as

\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}

here we know that

\frac{I_1}{I_2} = 36 times

also we know that

r_1 = 10 Ly

now we will have

\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}

36 = \frac{r_2^2}{10^2}

r_2 = 60 Ly

so other star is at distance 60 Light years

Ill mark as brainliest.
rewona [7]

Answer: 75V

Explanation:

Given that,

total resistance (Rtotal) = 150Ω

Current (I) = 0.5A

Change in electric potential (V) = ?

Recall that potential difference is the product of amount of current and the amount of resistance in the circuit. And its unit is volts.

So, apply the formula V = I x Rtotal

V = 0.5A x 150Ω

V = 75V

Thus, the change in electric potential across the circuit is 75 Volts

Two identical copper blocks are connected by a weightless, unstretchable cord through a frictionless pulley at the top of a thin
likoan [24]

Answer:

13.6 N

Explanation:

Since one side of the wedge is vertical and the wedge makes and angle of 33 with the horizontal, the angle between the weight of the copper block on the incline and the incline is thus 90 - 33 = 57.

Let M be the mass of the block that hangs, m be the mass of the block on the incline and T be the tension in the weightless unstretchable cord.

We assume the motion is downwards in the direction of the hanging block, M.

We now write equations of motion for each block.

So

Mg - T = Ma    (1) and T - mgcos57 - F = ma where F is the frictional force on the block on the incline and a is their acceleration.

Now, since both blocks do not move, a = 0.

So, Mg - T = M(0) = 0     and T - mgcos57 - F = m(0) = 0

Mg - T = 0    (3) and T - mgcos57 - F = 0 (4)

From (3), T = Mg

Substituting T into (4), we have

T - mgcos57 - F = 0

Mg - mgcos57 - F = 0

So, Mg - mgcos57 = F  

F = Mg - mgcos57

F = (M - mcos57)g

Since g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², and M = 2.94 kg and m = 2.85 kg.

We find F, thus

F = (2.94 kg - 2.85 kgcos57)9.8 m/s²

F = (2.94 kg - 2.85 kg × 0.5446)9.8 m/s²

F = (2.94 kg - 1.552 kg)9.8 m/s²

F = (1.388 kg)9.8 m/s²

F = 13.6024 kgm/s²

F ≅ 13.6 N

How much heat is removed from 60 grams of steam at 100 °C to change it to 60 grams
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

45200J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Heat of vaporization of water  = 2260J/g

Mass of steam = 20g

Temperature = 100°C

Unknown:

Energy released during the condensation  = ?

Solution:

This change is a phase change and there is no change in temperature

To find the amount of heat released;

         H  = mL

m is the mass

L is the latent heat of vaporization

Insert the parameters and solve;

         H  = 20g x 2260J/g

          H = 45200J
