When the distance between a point source of light and a light meter is reduced from 6.0m to 2.0 m, the intensity of illumination

at the meter will be the original value multiplied by _____.
Physics

Sergeeva-Olga [200]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the point source have power P .

At distance r , the intensity I

I = P / 4πr² . If intensity at 6 m and 2 m be I₁ and I₂

I₁ = P / 4π x 6²

I₂ =  P / 4π x 2²

I₁ / I₂ = 2² / 6²

= 1 / 9

I₂ = 9 I₁

Intensity will be 9 times that at 6 m .

An object with a starting velocity of 15 m/s accelerates at 3m/s2 how far does the object travel within 10 seconds
sineoko [7]
Use the kinematics equation:
d = vt + 1/2at^2.
In this problem,
v = 15 m/s.
a = 3 m/s^2,
t = 10 s,
So:
d = 15(10) + 1/2*(3)*(10^2) = 300 meters

Define reflection and give to examples define refraction and give two examples
pickupchik [31]
Reflection- looking at yourself in a mirror and seeing the moon in the sky
Refraction- putting on your glasses in order to see more clearly and the pencil looks like it’s bent when you stick one end of it in water.
