suppose that you look into a photometer's eyepiece and the fluorescent disks appear to be equal in intensity. If the distance be

tween the photometer to lamp 1 is 400mm, the distance between the photometer to lamp 2 is 200 mm, and the intensity of lamp 2 is known to be 15 candelas, what is the intensity to lamp 1?

Use the Inverse square law, Intensity (I)<span> of a light </span>is inversely proportional to the square of the distance(d).

I=1/(d*d)

Let Intensity for lamp 1 is L1 distance be D1 so on, L2 D2 for Intensity for lamp 2 and its distance.

L1/L2=(D2*D2)/(D1*D1)

L1/15=(200*200)/(400*400)
L1=15*0.25
L1=3.75 <span>candela</span>

An electric furnace is to melt 40 kg of aluminium/hour. The initial temperature of aluminium is 32°C. Given that aluminium has s

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Part a)

P = 13.93 kW

Part b)

R = 8357.6 Cents

Explanation:

Part A)

heat required to melt the aluminium is given by

$Q = ms\Delta T + mL$

here we have

$Q = 40(950)(680 - 32) + 40(450 \times 10^3)$

$Q = 24624 kJ + 18000 kJ$

$Q = 42624 kJ$

Since this is the amount of aluminium per hour

so power required to melt is given by

$P = \frac{Q}{t}$

$P = \frac{42624}{3600} kW$

$P = 11.84 kW$

Since the efficiency is 85% so actual power required will be

$P = \frac{11.84}{0.85} = 13.93 kW$

Part B)

Total energy consumed by the furnace for 30 hours

$Energy = power \times time$

$Energy = 13.93 kW\times 30 h$

$Energy = 417.9 kWh$

now the total cost of energy consumption is given as

$R = P \times 20 \frac{Cents}{kWh}$

$R = 417.9 kWh\times 20 \frac{cents}{kWh}$

$R = 8357.6 Cents$

.You have always been impressed by the speed of the elevators in your apartment building. You wonder about the maximum accelerat

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

5.51 m/s^2

Explanation:

Initial scale reading = 50 kg

assume the greatest scale reading = 78.09 kg

<u>Determine the maximum acceleration for these elevators</u>

At rest the weight is = 50 kg

Weight ( F ) = mg = 50 * 9.81 = 490.5 N<u> </u>

<u> </u>At the 10th floor weight = 78.09 kg

Weight at 10th floor ( F ) = 78.09 * 9.81 = 766.11 N

F = change in weight

Change in weight( F ) = ma = 766.11 - 490.5 (we will take the mass as the starting mass as that mass is calculated when the body is at rest)

50 * a = 275.61

Hence the maximum acceleration ( a ) = 275.61 / 50 = 5.51 m/s^2

During a blackout, you are trapped in a tall building. you want to call rescuers on your cell phone, but you can't remember whic

Gennadij [26K]

Let the height where we are trapped is H

now to find the time to reach the key at the bottom is given as

$y = v_i t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

now we have

$H = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}}$

now if the speed of sound is considered to be 340 m/s then time taken by the sound to reach at the top is given as

$t = \frac{H}{340}$

now the total time is given as

$\sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}} + \frac{H}{340} = 3.27$

now by solving above equation we have

H = 48 m

now height of one floor is 3 m

so our position must be

$N = \frac{48}{3} = 16 th \:floor$
