Fill in the blank. Consider the inverse square law: When light leaves a light bulb, it spreads out over more and more space as i
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Intensity of light is inversely proportional to distance from source

I ∝ 1 /r²  where I is intensity and r is distance from source . If I₁ and I₂ be intensity at distance r₁ and r₂ .

I₁ /I₂ = r₂² /r₁²

If r₂ = 4r₁ ( given )

I₁ / I₂ = (4r₁ )² / r₁²

= 16 r₁² / r₁²

I₁ / I₂ = 16

I₂ = I₁ / 16

So intensity will become 16 times less bright .

"16 times " is the answer .

510 g squirrel with a surface area of 935 cm2 falls from a 4.8-m tree to the ground. Estimate its terminal velocity. (Use the dr
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

The terminal velocity is v_t  =17.5 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The mass of the squirrel is  m_s  =  50\ g  =  \frac{50}{1000} =  0.05 \  kg

      The surface area is   A_s =  935 cm^2  =  \frac{935}{10000} = 0.0935 \ m^2

       The height of fall is  h =4.8 m

        The length of the prism is l =  23.2 = 0.232 \ m

          The width of the prism is w =  11.6 =  0.116 \ m

 

The terminal velocity is mathematically represented as

       v_t  =  \sqrt{\frac{2 * m_s *  g }{\dho_s * C  * A } }

Where \rho  is the density of a rectangular prism with a constant values of \rho  =  1.21 \ kg/m^3

            C is the drag coefficient for a horizontal skydiver with a value = 1

            A  is the area of the prism the squirrel is assumed to be which is mathematically represented as

      A =  0.116 * 0.232

       A =  0.026912 \ m^2

 substituting values

      v_t  =  \sqrt{\frac{2 * 0.510 *  9.8 }{1.21 * 1  * 0.026912 } }

     v_t  =17.5 \ m/s

A block of mass 1.5 hangs at the of end of a weight cord suspended from the ceiling.what is the tension in the cord, and with wh
Len [333]

The tension in the cord is 14.7 N and the force of pull of the cord is 14.7 N, assuming the block is stationary.

<h3>What is the tension in the cord?</h3>

The tension in the cord is calculated as follows;

T = ma + mg

where;

  • a is the acceleration of the block
  • g is acceleration due to gravity
  • m is mass of the block

T = m(a + g)

T = 1.5(a + 9.8)

T = 1.5a + 14.7

Thus, the tension in the cord is (1.5a + 14.7) N.

If the block is at rest, the tension is 14.7 N.

<h3>Force of the force</h3>

The force with which the cord pulls is equal to the tension in the cord

F = T = m(a + g)

F = (1.5a + 14.7) N

If the block is stationary, a = 0, the tension and force of pull of the cord = 14.7 N.

Thus, the tension in the cord is 14.7 N and the force of pull of the cord is 14.7 N, assuming the block is stationary.

Solving:
STatiana [176]

Answer:

1. 31,536,000 seconds

2. Car B traveled a longer distance

3. Volume of box = 0.235887 cubic meters

Explanation:

Q1. Age in seconds

1 year = 365 days
1 day = 24 hours
1 hour = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds

Therefore 1 year = 365 x 24 x 60 x 60 = 31,536,000 seconds

In scientific notation this would be 3.1536\times  10^7 \text{ seconds}

Q2. Comparing km and miles

Given:
1 km = 1000m and 1 m = 3.3ft,   I km = 1000 x 3.3 = 3300 ft.

Convert Car A distance of 25.7km to feet :
25.7 km. = 25. 7 x 3300 ft. = 84,810 ft.

For Car B  that traveled 20 miles,
20 miles = 20 x 5280 = 105,600 ft.

Since 105,600 > 84,810, car B traveled a longer distance

Q3. Volume of wooden box

The wooden box is in the shape of a rectangular prism
It volume is L x W x H
Volume = 1.525 x 0.30 x 0.5156 = 0.235887 cubic meters
