Inverse square law: \frac{I_{2} }{I_{1}}= (\frac{d{2} }{d_{1}})^2
where 
I_{1} is the intensity at distance 1
I_{2} is the intensity at distance 2
d_{1} is distance 1
d_{2} is distance 2

The inverse squared law state that intensity decreases in inverse proportion to the distance squared. So if light obeyed that rule, it will decreases its intensity as the square of the distance increases.

We can conclude that the correct answer is: true.

A satellite in orbit is not truly traveling through a vacuum.It is moving through very, very thin air. Does the resulting airfri
defon

PART A) Yes, the fact that there is a frictional force acting on the satellite generates a loss of energy due to friction. What causes satellite to diminish its orbit during its tour. In fact, many satellites have rectifier systems that allow them to position themselves and remain in their orbit for a long time to avoid being trapped by the Earth's gravity Force and fall into the atmosphere where they would probably be torn apart.

PART B) As a similarity, one could start by mentioning the structure of the two equations are similar and have their own constants who were responsible for supporting them. While the law of gravity speaks of the masses of the bodies the electrostatic law speaks of the charges of the bodies. For both the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them.

However, the most notable difference between them is basically their statement. While one of the equations speaks about greavedad the other reflects the electromagnetic phenomena. It should be noted that the force of gravity is much weaker than the electromagnetic force and that the latter has the capacity of attraction and repulsion. While the gravitational force only that of attraction.

A ball is thrown straight upward and rises to a maximum
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Explanation:

As we know that the ball is projected upwards so that it will reach to maximum height of 16 m

so we have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

here we know that

v_f = 0

also we have

a = -9.81 m/s^2

so we have

0 - v_i^2 = 2(-9.81)(16)

v_i = 17.72 m/s

Now we need to find the height where its speed becomes half of initial value

so we have

v_f = 0.5 v_i

now we have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

(0.5v_i)^2 - v_i^2 = 2(-9.81)h

-0.75v_i^2 = -19.62 h

0.75(17.72)^2 = 19.62 h

h = 12 m
