Describe how the intensity of light changes with distance from a light source.

Physics
1 answer:
lions [1.4K]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

decreases

Explanation:

The intensity of light is inversely proportional to the square of distance between the source and the observation point.

Intensity \propto \frac{1}{distance^{2}}

So, as the distance increases by the factor of 2, then intensity becomes one fourth.

As the distance becomes half, the intensity becomes four times,

A train moving at a constant speed on a surface inclined upward at 10.0° with the horizontal travels a distance of 400 meters in
Amiraneli [1.4K]
If the velocity of the train is v=s/t, where s is the distance and t is time, then v=400/5=80m/s. To get the vertical component of the velocity we need to multiply the velocity v with a sin(α): Vv=v*sin(α), where Vv is the vertical component of the velocity and α is the angle with the horizontal. So:

Vv=80*sin(10)=80*0.1736=13.888 m/s. 

So the vertical component of the velocity of the train is Vv=13.888 m/s.

Astronaut X of mass 50kg floats next to Astronaut Y of mass 100kg while in space, as shown in the figure. The positive direction
jonny [76]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The change in momentum of x has to be the opposite of the change in momentum of Y because the momentum is just transferred from one to another. But I'm still trying to figure it out how to calculate.
