If the diameter of an objective mirror is doubled its light-gathering power becomes?

Just like any antenna used to collect electromagnetic energy at any other frequency, the 'gain' is proportional to the antenna's area. Since the area varies as the square of the collector's diameter, doubling the diameter increases the gain by a factor of 22 = 4. The corresponding increase in gain is 6 dB.


If a cell's diameter is doubled will the cell require two times more nutrients and would have two times more wastes to excrete?

The amount of metabolic activity inside a cell is proportional to the volume, not the diameter, so if you doubled the diameter you would quadruple the metabolic activity, and hence the consumption of nutrients and the production of waste. So, yes.


Why do you use kelvin?

Because kelvin temperature has a simple relationship with volume, according to Charles's' law if the kelvin temperature becomes doubled at constant pressure the volume of the gas also becomes doubled, this relation is not with Celsius or Fahrenheit temperature.

If the linear scale of a map is twice another is its aerial representation is four times larger?

Yes this is true. If a length is doubled (d becomes 2d) then the original area (d2) becomes (2d)2 = 4d2. The area is therefore four times as large.
