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 dog walks 12 meters to the east and then 16 meters back to the west for this motion what is the distance moved What is the mag

FinnZ [79.3K]

The distance is 28 meters, and the displacement is -4.

For the distance it would be 12 + 16 = 28.

For the displacement it would be 12 - 16 = -4.

would really appreciate a brainliest! Hope this helped!

If the electron just misses the upper plate as it emerges from the field, find the magnitude of the electric field.

Damm [24]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field be 171.76 N/C so that the electron misses the plate.

Explanation:

As data is incomplete here, so by seeing the complete question from the search the data is

vx_0=1.1 x 10^6

ax=0 As acceleration is zero in the horizontal axis so

Equation of motion in horizontal direction is given as

$s_x=v_x_0 t$

$t=\frac{s_x}{v_x}\\t=\frac{2 \times 10^{-2}}{1.1 \times 6}\\t=1.82 \times 10^{-8} s$

Now for the vertical distance

vy_o=0

than the equation of motion becomes

$s_y=v_y_0 t+\frac{1}{2} at^2\\s_y=\frac{1}{2} at^2\\0.5 \times 10^{-2}=\frac{1}{2} a(1.82 \times 10^{-8})^2\\a=3.02 \times 10^{13} m/s^2$

Now using this acceleration the value of electric field is calculated as

$E=\frac{F}{q}\\E=\frac{ma}{q}\\E=\frac{m_ea}{q_e}\\$

Here a is calculated above, m is the mass of electron while q is the charge of electron, substituting values in the equation

$E=\frac{9.1\times 10^{-31} \times 3.02 \times 10^{13} }{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}\\E=171.76 N/C$

So the magnitude of the electric field be 171.76 N/C so that the electron misses the plate.
