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.

Glass does not transmit ultraviolet radiation. Suggest what happens to ultraviolet radiation when it is incident on glass. (1 ma

Answer:

Most of UV radiation is stopped by glass & this is why you will not get sunburns behind a glass. The glass simply filters out the UV radiation that is responsible for the sunburns & protect your skins from these energetic & somewhat harmful radiation

A solid disk of radius 5.50 cm and mass 1.25 kg , which is rolling at a speed of 1.50 m/s , begins rolling without slipping up a
shtirl [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Deceleration of solid disk = g sin10/1 + k²/r² = g sin 10 / 1 + 1/2 = g sin 10 x 2/3

[ k is radius of gyration of disk which is equal to( 1/√2)x r ]

deceleration a = -1.1345 m/s²

v = u - at , t = u / a = 1.5 / 1.1345 = 1.322 s.

Andy is waiting at the signal. As soon as the light turns green, he accelerates his car at a uniform rate of 8.00 meters/second2
lbvjy [14]
-- The car starts from rest, and goes 8 m/s faster every second.

-- After 30 seconds, it's going (30 x 8) = 240 m/s.

-- Its average speed during that 30 sec is  (1/2) (0 + 240) = 120 m/s

-- Distance covered in 30 sec at an average speed of 120 m/s 

                                                                           = <span> 3,600 meters .</span>
___________________________________

The formula that has all of this in it is the formula for 
distance covered when accelerating from rest:

       Distance = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)²

                       = (1/2) ·      (8 m/s²)     · (30 sec)²

                       =      (4 m/s²)          ·      (900 sec²)

                       =            3600 meters.

_________________________________

When you translate these numbers into units for which
we have an intuitive feeling, you find that this problem is 
quite bogus, but entertaining nonetheless.

When the light turns green, Andy mashes the pedal to the metal
and covers almost 2.25 miles in 30 seconds. 

How does he do that ?

By accelerating at 8 m/s².  That's about 0.82 G  !

He does zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, and at the end
of the 30 seconds, he's moving at 534 mph !  

He doesn't need to worry about getting a speeding ticket.
Police cars and helicopters can't go that fast, and his local
police department doesn't have a jet fighter plane to chase
cars with.
