Explain why the intensity of the light in a flashlight beam decreases as the flashlight moves farther away.
Karolina [17]
Ir=Initial Intensity/Area of spread=Io4πr2
Ir∝1r2

It is seen from this expression that intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. As we move away from the light source the intensity decreases at the rate of square of the distance from the source.

Brightness being the perception of intensity. more the intensity more bright the object is perceived and vice versa.

A. The flow of energy from Earth's interior to the surface is about 50 terawatt (1 terawatt = 1e12 joule/sec). This is the energ
alisha [4.7K]

A) The amount of geothermal energy that reaches Earth's surface in one day is : 43.2 * 10¹⁷ joules

B) Humanity's current consumption of energy is; 71.4 GJ per individual.

C) Ratiois ; 60.5 * 10⁶ Joules

<u>Given data :</u>

Amount of energy flow = 50 terawatt =  50*10¹² joule/sec.

<h3>Determine the geothermal energy that reaches the earth</h3>

Since the geothermal energy reaches the earth in a single day

Energy = power * time

Time = 24 hours ( 1 day ) = 86400 secs.

Energy = 50*10¹² joule/sec * 86400 secs

            = 43.2 * 10¹⁷ joules

<h3 /><h3>B) Estimating humanity's current consumption of energy in one day.</h3>

Humanity's current consumption of energy in one day is estimated to be 71.4 GJ per individual.

<h3>C) Determine the ratio of geothermal energy to human's current annual consumption </h3>

Geothermal energy / human current annual consumption

= 43.2 * 10¹⁷ Joules / 71.4 * 10⁹ Jolues

= 60.5 * 10⁶ Joules

Hence we can conclude that A) The amount of geothermal energy that reaches Earth's surface in one day is : 43.2 * 10¹⁷ joules

B) Humanity's current consumption of energy is; 71.4 GJ per individual.

C) Ratiois ; 60.5 * 10⁶ Joules

21. A toy car starts from rest and accelerates at 1.50 m/s’ [E] for 5.25 s. What is the final
yulyashka [42]

Answer: The final Velocity, V, of the car is 7.9m/s

Explanation:

Given the following :

Toy car starts from rest, therefore,

Initial Velocity (u) = 0

Acceleration (a) = 1.5m/s^2 E for time, t = 5.25s

Final velocity (V) of the car =?

Using the motion equation:

v = u + at

Where v = final Velocity

u = Initial Velocity

a = acceleration

t = time

v = 0 + 1.5(5.25)

v = 0 + 7.875

v = 7.875m/s

v = 7.9m/s

A newly discovered element has two isotopes. One has an atomic weight of 120.9038 amu with 57.25% abundance. The other has an at
Katarina [22]

Answer : The atomic weight of the element is, 121.75 amu

Explanation :

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i

As we are given that,

Mass of isotope 1 = 120.9038 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 1 = 57.25 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 1 = 0.5725

Mass of isotope 2 = 122.8831 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 2 = 100 - 57.25 = 42.75 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 2 = 0.4275

Now put all the given values in above formula, we get:

\text{Average atomic mass of element}=\sum[(120.9038\times 0.5725)+(122.8831\times 0.4275)]

\text{Average atomic mass of element}=121.75amu

Therefore, the atomic weight of the element is, 121.75 amu
