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:

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

A regular polygon has angkes of size 150° each.how many side has the polygon

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: 12

Explanation:

ıf each interior is 150 degrees, then each exterior angle is 180–150 or 30 degrees. Hence the polygon has 360/30 = 12 sides

Consider a small frictionless puck perched at the top of a xed sphere of radius R. If the puck is given a tiny nudge so that it

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the vertical height by which it descends be h . Let it acquire velocity of v .

1/2 mv² = mgh

v² = 2gh

As it leaves the surface of sphere , reaction force of surface R = 0 , so

centripetal force = mg cosθ where θ is the angular displacement from the vertex .

mv² / r = mg cosθ

(m/r )x 2gh = mg cosθ

2h / r = cosθ

cosθ = (r-h) / r

2h / r = r-h / r

2h = r-h

3h = r

h = r / 3

Which of the following represents the greatest energy transition from a higher energy level to a lower one?

prohojiy [21]

You need to use Planck's law:
E = h·υ = (h·c)/λ

Without making all the calculations, a fraction is bigger than another when the denominator is smaller. Therefore you need to find the smallest wavelength (λ) which is 450nm.

You could also be helped by colors: in order of decreasing energy, you have blue - green - yellow - red.

In any case, the correct answer is a).

Airida [17]

Answer:

$\frac{I}{I_0}=113.68$

Explanation:

P = Acoustic power = 63 µW

r = Distance to the sound source = 210 m

Acoustic power

$P=IA\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{P}{A}\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{63\times 10^{-6}}{4\times \pi \times 210^2}$

Threshold intensity = $I_0=1\times 10^{-12}\ W/m^2$

Ratio

$\frac{I}{I_0}=\frac{\frac{63\times 10^{-6}}{4\times \pi \times 210^2}}{1\times 10^{-12}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{I}{I_0}=113.68$

Ratio of the acoustic intensity produced by the juvenile howler to the reference intensity is 113.68

Describe The energy conversions that occur when coal is formed, and then burned to produce thermal energy.

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

When energy contained in coal is turned into heat, and then into electrical energy. As boiling water heated by the burning coal is cooled, steam forges from these cone-shaped cooling towers.
