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:

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

An object with a charge of -3.2 uC and a mass of 1.0Ã—10^(-2) kg experiences an upward electric force, due to a uniform electric

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration is equal to 19.6m/s² and the acceleration is directed upwards though the magnitude of the charge has doubled. This is because the electric force is directed upwards and from newton's second law of motion the charge will have acceleration in the same direction as the electric force on the charge.

Explanation:

The detailed solution can be found in the attachment below.

Describe when the chemical reaction occurs in a dry-cell battery

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

For a dry-cell battery to operate, oxidation will occur from the zinc anode and reduction will take place in the cathode. The most common type of cathode is a carbon graphite. Once reactants have been turned into products, the dry-cell battery will work to produce electricity.

Explanation:

The battery operates through electrochemical reactions called oxidation and reduction. These reactions involve the exchange of electrons between chemical species. If a chemical species loses one or more electrons, this is called oxidation. The opposite process, the gain of electrons, is called reduction.

A bullet with a mass of 5 gramsand speed of 560 m/sis fired horizontally atablock of wood with a mass of 2 kg. The block rests o

Anni [7]

Momentum is conserved if and only if sum of all forces which are exserted on system equals zero. In our situation there are only internal forces, so by Newton's third law their vector sum is 0.

So $mv=(m+M)v' \Leftrightarrow v'=\frac{mv}{m+M}$ .

Kinetic energy of system at first: $\frac{mv^2}{2}=784\;\textbf{J}$ . After: $\frac{(m+M)\frac{m^2v^2}{(m+M)^2} }{2}=\frac{m^2v^2}{2(m+M)}\approx 1,96\; \textbf{J}$ . The secret is that other energy is in work of deformation forces (they in turn heat a bullet and a block).

Answer is A)
