The concept of power is given by the relationship between intensity and area, that is to say that power is defined as

P = A*I

Our values are given under the condition of,

r_1 = 18m

r_2 = m

The power is proportional to the Area, and in turn, we know that the Area of a circle is the product between \pi  times the radius squared, therefore the power is proportional to the radius squared.

\text{Power} \propto r^2

For both panels we would have to

\frac{\text{Power by panel 1}}{\text{Power by panel 2}} = \frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}

\frac{P_1}{P_2} = (\frac{18}{6})^2

\frac{P_1}{P_2} = 9

Therefore the correct option is option C.9

Answer:

the correct answer is option (c) 9

Explanation:

solution;

Given data;

radius of spacecraft 1 = 18m

radius of spacecraft 1 = 6m

The total power output of the star = 4 x 1025 W

power is given by the formula;

P = I * A

where I is light intensity and A is the area

but power can be said to be proportional to area.

Since area = πr² therefore, power is proportional to r²

The equation becomes,

power of panel 1 /power of panel 2 = r₁²/r₂²

                                                          = 18²/6²

                                                          = 324/36

                                Ratio                     = 9

Blizzard [7]

Answer: A.Validate and implement the results.

The final step in a forecasting system is to validate and implement the results. This can be similar to a presentation. After going through all the steps from the planning, researching, and gathering of data, making the forecast, validating and implementing the results will be the last thing that needs to be done.

A 10.0-cm-long uniformly charged plastic rod is sealed inside a plastic bag. The net electric flux through the bag is 7.50 × 10
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

66.375 x 10⁻⁶ C/m

Explanation:

Using Gauss's law which states that the net electric flux (∅) through a closed surface is the ratio of the enclosed charge (Q) to the permittivity (ε₀) of the medium. This can be represented as ;

∅ = Q / ε₀        -----------------(i)

Where;

∅ = 7.5 x 10⁵ Nm²/C

ε₀ = permittivity of free space (which is air, since it is enclosed in a bag) = 8.85 x 10⁻¹² Nm²/C²

Now, let's first get the charge (Q) by substituting the values above into equation (i) as follows;

7.5 x 10⁵ = Q / (8.85 x 10⁻¹²)

Solve for Q;

Q = 7.5 x 10⁵ x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

Q = 66.375 x 10⁻⁷ C

Now, we can find the linear charge density (L) which is the ratio of the charge(Q) to the length (l) of the rod. i.e

L = Q / l     ----------------------(ii)

Where;

Q = 66.375 x 10⁻⁷ C

l = length of the rod = 10.0cm = 0.1m

Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;

L = 66.375 x 10⁻⁷C / 0.1m

L = 66.375 x 10⁻⁶ C/m

Therefore, the linear charge density (charge per unit length) on the rod is 66.375 x 10⁻⁶ C/m.

11.76 cm² into two significant figures and include the appropriate units
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
You will need to turn this into scientific notation, so:

1.176 × 10^1 cm^2

To two significant figures means to two digits so since 7 is greater than 5, you will need to round up.

Final answer is:

1.2×10^1 cm^2

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Assuming that the length of the magnet is much smaller than the separation between it and the charge. As a result of magnetic interaction (i.e., ignore pure Coulomb forces) between the charge and the bar magnet, the magnet will not experience any torque at all - option A

Explanation:

Assuming that the length of the magnet is much smaller than the separation between it and the charge. As a result of magnetic interaction (i.e., ignore pure Coulomb forces) between the charge and the bar magnet, the magnet will not experience any torque at all; the reason being that: no magnetic field is being produced by a charge that is static. Only a moving charge can produce a magnetic effect. And the magnet can not have any torque due to its own magnetic lines of force.
