The intensity of light from a star varies inversely as the square of the distance. If you lived on a planet ten times farther aw

ay from the sun than the Earth, how would the light intensity of the sun compare with that on Earth?

Answer:

the intensity of the sun on the other planet is a hundredth of that of the intensity of the sun on earth.

That is,

Intensity of sun on the other planet, Iₒ = (intensity of the sun on earth, Iₑ)/100

Explanation:

Let the intensity of light be represented by I

Let the distance of the star be d

I ∝ (1/d²)

I = k/d²

For the earth,

Iₑ = k/dₑ²

k = Iₑdₑ²

For the other planet, let intensity be Iₒ and distance be dₒ

Iₒ = k/dₒ²

But dₒ = 10dₑ

Iₒ = k/(10dₑ)²

Iₒ = k/100dₑ²

But k = Iₑdₑ²

Iₒ = Iₑdₑ²/100dₑ² = Iₑ/100

Iₒ = Iₑ/100

Meaning the intensity of the sun on the other planet is a hundredth of that of the intensity on earth.

What is the motional kinetic energy of a 25 kg object moving at a speed of 10 m/s?
Soloha48 [4]

1250kgm²/s is the motional kinetic energy of a 25kg object moving at a speed of 10m/s

Kinetic energy of an object is defined as the energy which is possessed when that is  in motion. It is the energy of the kinetic mass of an object. Kinetic energy is never negative and is a scalar quantity. That is, it shows only size, not orientation.

Given to us

Mass of the object, m=25kg

Velocity of the object, v=10m/s  

K.E=1/2x25x10²

 =1250

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass and velocity squared (K.E.) of an object. =1/2xMxV². If the mass is in kilograms and the velocity is in meters/second, then the kinetic energy is in kilograms - meters squared/second.

A baseball is moving at a speed of 2.2m/s when it strikes the catchers glove. The paddding of the glove is compressed by 24mm be
Andre45 [30]

Average acceleration of the baseball: -101 m/s^2

Explanation:

Since the motion of the baseball is a uniformly accelerated motion, we can use the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the displacement of the object

For the baseball in this problem, we have:

u = 2.2 m/s is the initial velocity

v = 0 is the final velocity (it comes to a stop)

s = 24 mm = 0.024 m is the displacement of the ball while decelerating

Therefore, we can solve for a to find the acceleration:

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\frac{0-2.2^2}{2(0.024)}=-101 m/s^2

where the negative sign means the baseball is slowing down.

One end of a 34-m unstretchable rope is tied to a tree; the other end is tied to a car stuck in the mud. The motorist pulls side
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Fc = 89.67N

Explanation:

Since the rope is unstretchable, the total length will always be 34m.

From the attached diagram, you can see that we can calculate the new separation distance from the tree and the stucked car H as follows:

L1+L2=34m

L1^2=L2^2=L^2=2^2+(H/2)^2  Replacing this value in the previous equation:

\sqrt{2^2+H^2/4}+ \sqrt{2^2+H^2/4}=34  Solving for H:

H=\sqrt{52}

We can now, calculate the angle between L1 and the 2m segment:

\alpha = atan(\frac{H/2}{2})=60.98°

If we make a sum of forces in the midpoint of the rope we get:

-2*T*cos(\alpha ) + F = 0  where T is the tension on the rope and F is the exerted force of 87N.

Solving for T, we get the tension on the rope which is equal to the force exerted on the car:

T=Fc=\frac{F}{2*cos(\alpha) } = 89.67N

A wire is wrapped around a piece of iron, and then electricity is run through the wire. What happens to the iron?
katrin [286]
Search Results<span>By simply wrapping wire that has an electrical current running through it around a nail, you can make an electromagnet. When the electric current moves through a wire, it makes a magnetic field. ... You can make a temporary magnet by stroking apiece of iron or steel (such as a needle) along with a permanent magnet.
