The intensity on a screen 20 ft from the light will be 0.125-foot candles.

<h3>What is the distance?</h3>

Distance is a numerical representation of the length between two objects or locations.

The intensity I of light varies inversely as the square of the distance D from the source;

I∝(1/D²)

The ratio of the intensity of the two cases;

\rm \frac{I_1}{I_2} =(\frac{D_2}{D_1} )^2\\\\ \rm \frac{2}{I_2} =(\frac{20}{5} )^2\\\\ \frac{2}{I_2} =4^2 \\\\ I_2= \frac{2}{16} \\\\  I_2= 0.125 \ foot-candles

Hence, the intensity on a screen 20 ft from the light will be 0.125 foot-candles

5. The analytical method of adding vectors expressed in terms of their components may be applied to vectors in three dimensions,
Gwar [14]

Answer:

C = 17 i^ - 7 j^ + 16 k^ ,   | C| = 24.37

Explanation:

To work the vactor component method, we add the sum in each axis

C = A + B = (Aₓ + Bₓ) i ^ + (A_{y} + B_{y}) i ^ + (A_{z} + B_{z}) k ^

Cₓ = 12+ 5 = 17

C_{y} = -37 +30 = -7

C_{z} = 58 -42 = 16

Resulting vector

C = 17 i ^ - 7j ^ + 16k ^

The mangitude of the vector is

| C | = √ c²

| C | = √( 17² + 7² + 16²)

| C| = 24.37

1. Most PE, because PE is directly proportional to distance (height)
Height: 100 meters
Speed: 0 mph

2. Most KE, because KE is directly proportional to speed
Height: 10 meters
Speed: 40 mph

3. Most TE, average KE
Height: 10 meters
Speed: 40 mph

4. The skater gains thermal energy as she goes down the slope, because the speed of the skater increases, so it increases the total kinetic energy of the particles, and makes them vibrate faster, resulting in a higher temperature.

A car travels in a straight line from a position 50 m to your right to a position 210 m to your right in 5 sec. a. What is the a
Verizon [17]

Answer:

a) The average velocity is 32 m/s

b) See the attached figure. Slope of the line = 32.

Graphic: a line that passes through the points (0; 50) and (5; 210)

Explanation:

a) The average velocity is calculated as the displacement over time:

v = ΔX / Δt

where

ΔX : displacement ( final position - initial position)

Δt : time (final time - initial time)

Considering the origin of the reference system as the position where the observer is:

ΔX = 210 m - 50 m = 160 m

Δt  = 5 s

v = 160 m / 5 s = 32 m/s

b) In the graphic position vs time, plot a line that passes through the points (0, 50) (because at time 0, the car is 50 m away from you, the center of the reference system) and (5, 210). The x-axis, time, is in seconds and the y-axis, position, in meters. The slope of the line is calculated as:

slope = (X₂ - X₁) /(t₂ - t₁) = (210 - 50) / (5 - 0) = 32. Then, the velocity is equal to the slope of the line. See the attached figure.
