Answer:
you have to set each factor to 0 and solve.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
0.049168726 light-years
Step-by-step explanation:
The apparent brightness of a star is
where
<em>L = luminosity of the star (related to the Sun)
</em>
<em>d = distance in ly (light-years)
</em>
The luminosity of Alpha Centauri A is 1.519 and its distance is 4.37 ly.
Hence the apparent brightness of Alpha Centauri A is
According to the inverse square law for light intensity
where
light intensity at distance
light intensity at distance
Let be the distance we would have to place the 50-watt bulb, then replacing in the formula
Remark: It is worth noticing that Alpha Centauri A, though is the nearest star to the Sun, is not visible to the naked eye.
14/4
Multiply the denominator and the whole number - 4*3=12
Add the numerator - 12+2=14
Put the answer over the denominator 14/4
Answer: C
Because BD would be longer than AC
