Suppose two stars are located in region a of the h-r diagram shown in the figure below. star c appears much dimmer than star y as seen from earth. which star can be inferred to be nearer to earth and how do you know?

Asquare isothermal chip is of width w=5 mm on a side and is mounted in a substrate such that its side and back surfaces are well insulated; the front surface is exposed to the flow of a coolant at tinf=15 °c. from reliability considerations, the chip temperature must not exceed t=85 °c. if the coolant is air and the corresponding convection coefficient is h=200 w/m2 x k, what is the maximum allowable "power" of the chip? if the coolant is a liquid for which h=3000 w/m2 x k, what is the maximum allowable power of the chip?
