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.

A. Obtain the following: microwave, ruler, something meltable (e.g. candy bar, marshmallows) B. A microwave works by setting up
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

E = 124.7 N / C

Explanation:

Let's analyze the exercise: the microwave creates an electromagnetic wave of frequency F = 2.45 GHz, this wave is introduced into the microwave cavity and is reflected on the metal walls, which is why one or more standing waves are formed.

The electric field of the standing wave is

            I = E²

            E =√I

where I is the intensity of the radiation.

What is it

             I = P / A

where P is the effective emission power, almost all the power of the microwave and A is the area of ​​the cavity, in the most used microwaves

P = 700 W and the area is A = 25 x 18 cm² = 0.045 m²

             I = 700 / 0.045

             I = 15555.56 W/m²

let's calculate the electric field

            E = √15555.56

            E = 124.7 N / C

A 50 Q resistor in a circuit has a current flowing through it of 2.0 A. What is
Alex17521 [72]

Hello!

We can use the following equation for calculating power dissipated by a resistor:
P = i^2R

P = Power (? W)
i = Current through resistor (2.0 A)
R = Resistance of resistor (50Ω)

Plug in the known values and solve.

P = (2.0^2)(50) = \boxed{\text{ B. }200 W}

A 6.0-v battery maintains the electrical potential difference between two parallel metal plates separated by 1.0 mm. what is the
Gnoma [55]
The voltage<span> difference between the two plates can be expressed in terms of the </span>work<span> done on a positive test charge q when it moves from the positive to the negative plate.</span><span>
E=V/d
where V is the voltage and d is the distance between the plates.
 
So,

E=6.0V/1mm= 6000 V/m. The electric field between the plates is 6000 V/m.</span>
