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.

Answer:

Magnitude of the resulting force on the 7 nC charge at the origin:

Fn₁= 23.95*10⁻⁹ N

Explanation:

Look at the attached graphic:

Charges of positive signs exert repulsive forces on q₁ + and charges of negative signs exert attractive forces on q₁ +.

q₁ experiences three forces (F₂₁,F₃₁,F₄₁) and we calculate them with Coulomb's law:

F = (k*q₁*q)/(d)²

d_{12} = \sqrt{3^{2}+3^{2}  }  = \sqrt{18} m : distance from q₁ to q₂

(d₁₂)² = 18 m²

d_{13} =\sqrt{1^{2}+3^{2}  } = \sqrt{10} m  : distance from q₁ to q₃

(d₁₃)² = 10 m²

d_{14} =\sqrt{3^{2}+2^{2}  } = \sqrt{13} m  : distance from q₁ to q₄

(d₁₄)² = 13 m²

K=  8.98755 × 10⁹ N *m²/C²

q₁=  7*10⁻⁹C

k*q₁=8.98755*10⁹ *7*10⁻⁹= 62.9

F₂₁= (62.9)*(9* 10⁻⁹) /(18) = 31.45*10⁻⁹ C

F₃₁= (62.9)*(7* 10⁻⁹) /(10) = 44*10⁻⁹ C

F₄₁= (62.9)*(8* 10⁻⁹) /(13) = 38.7*10⁻⁹ C

x-y components of the net force on q₁ (Fn₁):

α= tan⁻¹(3/3)= 45°  ,  β= tan⁻¹(3/1)= 71.56° , θ= tan⁻¹(2/3)= 33.69°

Fn₁x = F₂₁x+ F₃₁x+F₄₁x

F₂₁x =+ F₂₁*cosα =+ (31.45*10⁻⁹)* (cos 45°) = +22.24 *10⁻⁹ N

F₃₁x= -F₃₁*cosβ = - ( 44*10⁻⁹)* (cos 71.56°) = -13.91 *10⁻⁹ N

F₄₁x= -F₄₁*cosθ = -(38.7*10⁻⁹)* (cos 33.69°) = -32.2*10⁻⁹ N

Fn₁x = (+22.24 - 13.91 - 32.2)*10⁻⁹ N

Fn₁x = -23.87 *10⁻⁹ N

Fn₁y = F₂₁y+ F₃₁y+F₄₁y

F₂₁x =+ F₂₁*sinα =+ (31.45*10⁻⁹)* (sin 45°) = +22.24 *10⁻⁹ N

F₃₁x= -F₃₁*sinβ = - ( 44*10⁻⁹)* (sin 71.56°) = -41.74 *10⁻⁹ N

F₄₁x= +F₄₁*sinθ = +(38.7*10⁻⁹)* (sin 33.69°) =+21.47*10⁻⁹ N

Fn₁y = (22.24 -41.74+21.47)*10⁻⁹ N  

Fn₁y = 1.97*10⁻⁹ N

Magnitude of the resulting force on the 7 nC charge at the origin (q₁):

F_{n1} =\sqrt{(Fn_{1x} )^{2}+(Fn_{1y} )^{2} }

F_{n1} =\sqrt{(23.87 )^{2}+(1.97 )^{2} }

Fn₁= 23.95*10⁻⁹ N

Resonance occurs when an object vibrating at or near the resonant frequency of a second object to vibrate. What form of waves ar
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Resonance depends on objects, this may happen for example when you play guitar in a given room, you may find that for some notes the walls or some object vibrate more than for others. This is because those notes are near the frequency of resonance of the walls.

So waves involved are waves that can move or affect objects (in this case the pressure waves of the sound, and the waves that are moving the wall).

this means that the waves are mechanic waves.

Now, in electromagnetics, you also can find resonance frequencies for electromagnetic waves trapped in things called cavities, but this is a different topic.

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

smallest magnitud is P=33.3 N

Explanation:

We are analyze the situation as an external force is applied and there is a friction force. We have a problem with Newton's second law.

          F = ma

As the two blocks go together they must have the same acceleration, so we can calculate this for the entire system

        P = (m1 + m2) a

        a = P / (m1 + m2)

In this case there is no friction force because the small block does not touch the ground.

In order to calculate the friction force, we must analyze each system component separately.

The large block on the X axis has an applied P force and as it moves feels a force from the small block.  In the Y axis has the weight (W1) and the reaction to normal (N1)

For the small block on the X axis, the force it feels is the thrust of the large block, note that this is an action and reaction force between the two blocks, it is the same definition we have of the normal one, so we can call this force (N)

Y axis it has the weight (W2) down, the force of friction (fr) that opposes the movement, so it is directed upwards. we write these equations

       N = m2 a

       fr -W2 = 0    

       fr = W2

       

The definition of friction force is

       fr = μ N

       

Let's replace and calculate

       μ (m2 a) = m2 g

       μ (P / (m1 + m2)) = g

       P = g /μ  (m1 + m2)

Let's calculate the value of this force

       P = 9.8 / 0.710 (28.9 +4.4)

       P = 13.80 (33.3)

       P = 33.3 N

This is the minimum friction force that prevents the block from sliding down
