Answer:

The intensity will be 1/9 as much.

Explanation:

The intensity of the light or any source is inversely related to the square of the distance.

I\alpha \frac{1}{r^{2} }

Now according to the question the distance is increased by three times than,

\frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} }=\frac{r_{1}^{2} }{r_{2}^{2} }

Therefore,

\frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} }=\frac{r_{1}^{2} }{(3r_{1})^{2} }\\\frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} }=\frac{1}{9} \\{I_{2}=\frac{1}{9}{I_{1} }

Therefore the intensity will become 1/9 times to the initial intensity.

A force of 150N at an angle of 60 degree to the horizontal to pull a box through a distance of 50m calculate the work done
Alexxandr [17]
  • Force=150N
  • Angle=60°
  • Displacement=50m

\boxed{\sf W=Fscos\Theta}

\\ \sf\longmapsto W=150(50)cos 60

\\ \sf\longmapsto W=7500\times \dfrac{1}{2}

\\ \sf\longmapsto W=3750J

Influenced by the gravitational pull of a distant star, the velocity of an asteroid changes from from +19.3 km/s to −18.8 km/s o
muminat

As per above given data

initial velocity = 19.3 km/s

final velocity = - 18.8 km/s

now in order to find the change in velocity

\Delta v = v_f - v_i

\Delta v = -18.8 - 19.3

\Delta v = -38.1 km/s

\Delta v = -3.81 * 10^4 m/s

Part b)

Now we need to find acceleration

acceleration is given by formula

a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

given that

\Delta v =- 3.81 * 10^4 m/s

\Delta t = 2.07 years = 6.53 * 10^7 s

now the acceleration is given as

a = \frac{-3.81 * 10^4}{6.53 * 10^7}

a = - 5.84 * 10^{-4}m/s^2

so above is the acceleration

A simple experiment to measure the speed of sound doesn't involve a stopwatch. You can fill up along tube with water and put a t
Serhud [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to answer this problem you have to know the depth of the column, we say R, this information is important because allows you to compute some harmonic of the tube. With this information you can compute the depth of the colum of air, by taking tino account that the new depth is R-L.

To find the fundamental mode you use:

f_n=\frac{nv_s}{4L}

n: mode of the sound

vs: sound speed

L: length of the column of air in the tube.

A) The fundamental mode id obtained for n=1:

f_1=\frac{v_s}{4L}

B) For the 3rd harmonic you have:

f_3=\frac{3v_s}{4L}

C) For the 2nd harmonic:

f_2=\frac{2v_s}{4L}
