B. their distances from the sun.

Explanation:

Absolute Magnitude:

Astronomers defines the absolute magnitude of a stars brightness in terms of how bright a star appears from a standard distance of 10 parsecs. Parsec is a unit of distance in astronomy. 10 parsecs is equal to 32.6 light years.

Apparent Magnitude:

Apparent magnitude of a star refers to how bright the star appears at its distance from the Earth.

If two stars have the same absolute magnitude but their apparent magnitude differs, the reason is that the distance of both the stars from the Earth varies. Hence their brightness differs when measured from Earth. The farther a star is from the Earth, the fainter its brightness.

Answer:

W = 270.9 J

Explanation:

given,

F(x) = (12.9 N/m²) x²

work = Force x displacement

dW = F .dx

the push-rod moves from x₁= 1 m to x₂ = 4 m

integrating the above

$\int dW = \int_{x_1}^{x_2}F. dx$

$W = \int_{x_1}^{x_2}F. dx$

$W = \int_{1}^{4} (12.9 x^2) dx$

$W = 12.9\times [\dfrac{x^3}{3}]_1^4 dx$

` $W = 12.9\times [\dfrac{4^3}{3}-\dfrac{1^3}{3}] dx$

W = 270.9 J

work done by the motor is W = 270.9 J
