Here is the difference between apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude. When we say apparent magnitude, this is the measurement of the brightness of the star of how it appears on Earth; on the other hand, absolute magnitude is the measurement of the brightness of the star at a <span>standard distance of 32.6 light years, or 10 parsecs. Hope this answers your question.</span>

A concave mirror has a focal length of 13.5 cm. This mirror forms an image located 37.5 cm in front of the mirror. Find the magn

77julia77 [94]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Focal length of the concave mirror, f = -13.5 cm

Image distance, v = -37.5 cm (in front of mirror)

Let u is the object distance. It can be calculated using the mirror's formula as :

$\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}$

$\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}-\dfrac{1}{v}$

$\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{(-13.5)}-\dfrac{1}{(-37.5)}$

u = -21.09 cm

The magnification of the mirror is given by :

$m=\dfrac{-v}{u}$

$m=\dfrac{-(-37.5)}{(-21.09)}$

m = -1.77

So, the magnification produced by the mirror is (-1.77). Hence, this is the required solution.

Water that flows from behind a large dam can cause machines to produce electricity. What change takes place?

lyudmila [28]

The mechanical energy in the falling water is used to spin the generator, and gets transformed into electrical energy. That's the first choice on the list.

Answer:

B ) Ascend using my buddy alternative air source / make an emergency Ascent

Explanation:

From the description it can be seen his buddy is close by of which he can easily use the alternative air source. Also we can see that he is closer to the water surface than his buddy, of which controlled emergency swimming ascent is highly favourable in this condition.

A diagram of a closed circuit with a power source on the left labeled 6 V. There are 3 resistors in parallel, separate paths, co

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Current: 1.0 Amperes

The minimum current is flowing through path D

Explanation:

We first find the equivalent resistance to the three resistors in parallel ( which is the total resistance of the circuit) via the equation:

$\frac{1}{R_e} =\frac{1}{R_B}+\frac{1}{R_C}+\frac{1}{R_D}\\\frac{1}{R_e} =\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{50}=0.17\\R_e=(1/0.17)\Omega\\R_e=5.88 \Omega$

with this info, we can estimate the current going through branch A using Ohm's Law, and the information that the power source is 6 V:

$V=I*R\\6V=I*5.88\Omega\\I=\frac{6}{5.88} Amp\\I=1.02A$

where the current comes in units of Amperes since all other the quantities are given in the SI system, and we can round this answer to 1.0 Amp following the request to round it to the tenth.

The current will be the lowest through the branch with the largest resistor due to the fact that less current will flow through the path of more resistance.

Than means that the lowest current will be registered through branch D where the 50 $\Omega$ resistor is.
