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.

(3) 8.3 N/kg. The gravitational field strength at a point is the force per unit mass exerted on a mass placed at that point. So at the point where the Hubble telescope is, it is (9.1 x 10^4)N/(1.1 x 10^4 kg) = 8.3 N/kg

An object with a charge of -3.2 uC and a mass of 1.0×10^(-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.

Thank you for reading and I hope this is helpful to you.

Define the law of universal gravitation in your own words.
Firdavs [7]
Newton's law of universal gravitation states that a particle attracts every other particle in the universe using a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers

Dierdre drew a diagram to compare the three types of mirrors.
Sholpan [36]

<em>Labels that belong in the marked ares X, Y & Z include;</em>

X: Curves outward

Y: Image may be smaller than object

Z: Image is always virtual

<u>Since the rays never meet, the images formed by convex mirrors are always virtual and smaller than the object, and since they are smaller, the images appear to be further than they actually are.</u>
