A light that is 3.98 times the distance from its source will have an intensity of 15.8404W/m^2

<h3>Calculation of light intensity</h3>

The relationship between the distance of light and intensity is that intensity varies inversely with the square of the distance from the source.

That is to say,if the distance of light is increased by 3.98 times, the light intensity is decreased by square of 3.98.

Therefore, the intensity is 3.98² = 15.8404W/m^2

A distant planet with a mass of (7.2000x10^26) has a moon with a mass of (5.0000x10^23). The distance between the planet and the

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a simple gravitational force problem using the equation:

$F_g=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}$ where F is the gravitational force, G is the universal gravitational constant, the m's are the masses of the2 objects, and r is the distance between the centers of the masses. I am going to state G to 3 sig fig's so that is the number of sig fig's we will have in our answer. If we are solving for the gravitational force, we can fill in everything else where it goes. Keep in mind that I am NOT rounding until the very end, even when I show some simplification before the final answer.

Filling in:

$F_g=\frac{(6.67*19^{-11})(7.2000*10^{26})(5.0000*10^{23})}{(6.10*10^{11})^2}$ I'm going to do the math on the top and then on the bottom and divide at the end.

$F_g=\frac{2.4012*10^{40}}{3.721*10^{23}}$ and now when I divide I will express my answer to the correct number of sig dig's:

$Fg=$ 6.45 × 10¹⁶ N

A 0.272-kg volleyball approaches a player horizontally with a speed of 12.6 m/s. The player strikes the ball with her fist and c

Nady [450]

(a) +9.30 kg m/s

The impulse exerted on an object is equal to its change in momentum:

$I= \Delta p = m \Delta v = m (v-u)$

where

m is the mass of the object

$\Delta v$ is the change in velocity of the object, with

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

For the volleyball in this problem:

m = 0.272 kg

u = -12.6 m/s

v = +21.6 m/s

So the impulse is

$I=(0.272 kg)(21.6 m/s - (-12.6 m/s)=+9.30 kg m/s$

(b) 155 N

The impulse can also be rewritten as

$I=F \Delta t$

where

F is the force exerted on the volleyball (which is equal and opposite to the force exerted by the volleyball on the fist of the player, according to Newton's third law)

$\Delta t$ is the duration of the collision
