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,

On a highway, a car is driven 80. kilometers
nydimaria [60]

The average speed of the car for the entire trip can be calculate by using:

v=\frac{S}{t}

where S is the total distance covered by the car, and t is the total time taken.


The total distance travelled by the car is:

S=80 km+50 km+40 km=170 km

while the total time taken is:

t=1.00 h+0.50 h+0.50 h=2.00 h


so, the average speed of the car is:

v=\frac{S}{t}=\frac{170 km}{2.00 h}=85 km/h


so, the correct answer is (3) 85 km/h.

Substances with their density less than that of water which is 1 g/cm³ will float on it whiles those greater than that of water will sink into the water

From the question the density of the object is greater than that of water so the object will sink into the water

Hope this helps you
