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

Physics
1 answer:
lions [1.4K]3 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 driver with a 0.80-s reaction time applies the brakes, causing the car to have acceleration opposite the direction of motion.
jeka94

Answer:

a) During the reaction time, the car travels 21 m

b) After applying the brake, the car travels 48 m before coming to stop

Explanation:

The equation for the position of a straight movement with variable speed is as follows:

x = x0 + v0 t + 1/2 a t²

where

x: position at time t

v0: initial speed

a: acceleration

t: time

When the speed is constant (as before applying the brake), the equation would be:

x = x0 + v t

a)Before applying the brake, the car travels at constant speed. In 0.80 s the car will travel:

x = 0m + 26 m/s * 0.80 s = <u>21 m  </u>

b) After applying the brake, the car has an acceleration of -7.0 m/s². Using the equation for velocity, we can calculate how much time it takes the car to stop (v = 0):

v = v0 + a* t

0 = 26 m/s + (-7.0 m/s²) * t

-26 m/s / - 7.0 m/s² = t

t = 3.7 s

With this time, we can calculate how far the car traveled during the deacceleration.

x = x0 +v0 t + 1/2 a t²

x = 0m + 26 m/s * 3.7 s - 1/2 * 7.0m/s² * (3.7 s)² = <u>48 m</u>
