Answer:

5 candela

Explanation:

Let the candle brightness be B

Let the distance be d

The candle brightness is inversely proportional to the distance

B α 1/d

B = k/d

If my candle has a brightness of 15 candela from a distance of 2 meter, then;

15 = k/2

k = 30

To get the brightness when the distance is 6m;

B = k/d

B = 30/6

B = 5 candela

Hence the brightness will be 5 candela

If Star A and Star B have the same absolute magnitude, but Star A is brighter, what does that tell us?

Hatshy [7]

We can conclude that star A is closer to us than star B.

In fact, the absolute magnitude gives a measure of the brightness of the star, if all the stars are placed at the same distance from Earth. So, it's a measure of the absolute luminosity of the star, indipendently from its distance from us: since the two stars have same absolute magnitude, it means that if they were at same distance from Earth, they would appear with same luminosity. Instead, we see star A brighter than star B, and the only explanation is that star A is closer to Earth than star B (the closer the star A, the brigther it is)

Suppose that a balloon is being filled with air at a rate of 10 cm3/s. (Assume that theballoon is a perfect sphere.) At what rat

Basile [38]

Answer:

Therefore the surface area of the balloon is increased at 4 cm³/s.

Explanation:

The balloon is being filled with air at a rate of 10 cm³/s

It means the volume of the balloon is increased at a rate 10 cm³/s.

i.e $\frac{dv}{dt} =10 cm^3/s$
