The illuminance of a surface varies inversely with the square of its distance from the light source. If the illuminance of a sur

face is 120 lumens per square meter when its distance from a certain light source is 6 meters, by how many meters should the distance of the surface from the source be increased to reduce its illuminance to 30 lumens per square meter?(a) 3(b) 6(c) 12(d) 15(e) 18

Answer: b) 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The illuminance of a surface varies inversely with the square of its distance from the light source.

i.e. for d distance and l luminance , we have

d^2\times l=k , where k is constant.       (1)

If  the illuminance of a surface is 120 lumens per square meter when its distance from a certain light source is 6 meters.

From (1), we have

\Rightarrow (6)^2\times 120=k\\\\\Rightarrow\ k=4320   (2)

For the distance (d) corresponds to the illuminance to 30 lumens per square meter , we have

d^2\times 30=k

Put value of k , we get

d^2\times 30=4320\\\\\Rightarrow\ d^2=\dfrac{4320}{30}=144\\\\\Rightarrow\ d^2=144\\\\\Rightarrow\ d= 12

Then , the number of meters should the distance of the surface from the source be increased= 12 meters- 6 meters = 6 meters.

Lola takes the train from Paris to Nice. The distance between the two cities is about 920 , 000 meters. If the train travels at
nika2105 [10]

First of all we must use the same unit measure for all data, otherwise it wouldn't make sense to compare meters and kilometers.

Since one kilometer is the same as 1000 meters, we have that 920000 meters are 920 kilometers.

Now, the train travels at 230 kilometers per hour. It means that it travels 230 kilometers with each passing hour

So, after 1 hour, the train travels 230 km. After two hours, the train travels 2x230 = 460km, and so on

In general, the distance traveled after k hours is 230k.

We want that distance to be 920, so the equation is

230k = 920 \iff k = \cfrac{920}{230} = \cfrac{92}{23} = 4

So, the train travels 920 kilometers (i.e. 920000 meters) in 4 hours.
