Answer:

Approximately 0.0898 W/m².

Explanation:

The intensity of light measures the power that the light delivers per unit area.

The source in this question delivers a constant power of \rm 104.0\; W. If the source here is a point source, that \rm 104.0\; W of power will be spread out evenly over a spherical surface that is centered at the point source. In this case, the radius of the surface will be 9.6 meters.

The surface area of a sphere of radius r is equal to 4\pi r^{2}. For the imaginary 9.6-meter sphere here, the surface area will be:

\rm 4\pi \times (9.6\; m)^{2} \approx 1158.12\; m^{2}.

That \rm 104.0\; W power is spread out evenly over this 9.6-meter sphere. The power delivered per unit area will be:

\displaystyle\rm  \frac{104.0\; W}{1158.12\; m^{2}}\approx 0.0898\; W\cdot m^{-2}.

musickatia [10]

Answer:

The correct option is;

C. 1,715 m

Explanation:

We are given the information from the group of teen at the City edge

Time of arrival of explosion sound = 5 s after sighting

Time of sighting explosion = 5 s before hearing the boom

Speed of sound in air ≈ 343 m/s

Speed of light = 299,792 km/s

Therefore, distance covered by sound in 5 seconds is given by the following equation;

Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}

\therefore 343 \ m/s= \frac{Distance}{5 \, s}

Hence Distance = 343 m/s × 5 s = 1715 m

To check, we compare the time it would take for the light to cover 1715 m

That is Time = \frac{Distance}{Speed} =  \frac{1715}{299,792,000} = 0.00000572 \, s which is instantaneous hence the distance can be approximated by the time duration for the speed of sound.

Therefore, the distance of the students from the factory is approximately 1,715 m
