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

drek231 [11]

To generate clean energy the mayor my build the fooling type of energy plants:

wind farms

solar power plants

wave power plants

Explanation:

At the seaside there are winds all over the year and that can be transformed in electrical energy by a wind turbine. The mayor can build a on-shore wind farm (reduced consts) and may also build off-shore wind farms (but these have an increased cost).

The second option is to build solar power plants. It will be cost effective if the people in the town will install solar panels on the building roofs. In this way you decrease the costs with the transportation of electrical energy.

The third option is to install wave power plants which harvest energy from the sea waves. It is a rather new technology, in comparison with the other two, but the initial consts can be amortized over time.

All three options will provide clean energy.

Right now nuclear plants have a very expensive initial costs and they may not be afforded by small towns.

A 1kg ball is dropped (from rest) 100m onto a spring with spring constant 125N/m. How much does the spring compress?
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

3.95 m

Explanation:

m = 1 kg, h = 100 m, k = 125 N/m

Let the spring is compressed by y.

Use the conservation of energy

potential energy of the mass is equal to the energy stored in the spring

m x g x h = 1/2 x ky^2

1 x 9.8 x 100 = 0.5 x 125 x y^2

y^2 = 15.68

y = 3.95 m

What is the temperature 32 degrees Fahrenheit in degrees Celsius? A. 0°C B. 20°C C. 10°C D. –10°C
omeli [17]
The answer would 0. The reasoning of this is because freezing point in celsius is always 0 degrees but in fahrenheit the freezing point is 32 degrees.
