Answer:

The surface from the source is 5 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Light intensity = 100 candelas

Illuminance = 4 lux

The formula of illumination is

According to illumination law,

The intensity of illuminance of the the light source is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source.

The formula of illumination is

$E\propto\dfrac{1}{d^2}$

$E=\dfrac{I}{d^2}$

Where, E = illuminance

I = luminous Intensity of the light

D = distance

We substitute the value into formula

$d^2=\dfrac{I}{E}$

$d^2=\dfrac{100}{4}$

$d^2=25$

$d = 5\ m$

Hence, The surface from the source is 5 m.

A dolphin jumps out of the water. As it falls back down it a clerated at a rate of -9,8m/s^2 for 0.8 seconds of free fall. To ca

Anettt [7]

Answer:

0.196 m

Explanation:

Given in the question that,

time taken by the dolphin to go back to water = 0.2 sec

To solve the question we will use Newton's Law of motion

here S is distance covered

u is initial speed

a = acceleration due to gravity

t = time taken

Plug value in the equation above

S = 0(0.2) + 0.5(-9.8)(0.2)²

S = 0.5(-9.8)(0.2)²

S = -0.196 m

Negative sign represent direction

(Assuming that dolphin have a vertical straight jump not a projectile motion)

Zero, a hypothetical planet, has a mass of 5.3 x 1023 kg, a radius of 3.3 x 106 m, and no atmosphere. A 10 kg space probe is to

Goryan [66]

(a) $3.1\cdot 10^7 J$

The total mechanical energy of the space probe must be constant, so we can write:

$E_i = E_f\\K_i + U_i = K_f + U_f$ (1)

where

$K_i$ is the kinetic energy at the surface, when the probe is launched

$U_i$ is the gravitational potential energy at the surface

$K_f$ is the final kinetic energy of the probe

$U_i$ is the final gravitational potential energy

Here we have

$K_i = 5.0 \cdot 10^7 J$

at the surface, $R=3.3\cdot 10^6 m$ (radius of the planet), $M=5.3\cdot 10^{23}kg$ (mass of the planet) and m=10 kg (mass of the probe), so the initial gravitational potential energy is

$U_i=-G\frac{mM}{R}=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(10 kg)(5.3\cdot 10^{23}kg)}{3.3\cdot 10^6 m}=-1.07\cdot 10^8 J$

At the final point, the distance of the probe from the centre of Zero is

$r=4.0\cdot 10^6 m$

so the final potential energy is

$U_f=-G\frac{mM}{r}=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(10 kg)(5.3\cdot 10^{23}kg)}{4.0\cdot 10^6 m}=-8.8\cdot 10^7 J$

So now we can use eq.(1) to find the final kinetic energy:

$K_f = K_i + U_i - U_f = 5.0\cdot 10^7 J+(-1.07\cdot 10^8 J)-(-8.8\cdot 10^7 J)=3.1\cdot 10^7 J$

(b) $6.3\cdot 10^7 J$

The probe reaches a maximum distance of

$r=8.0\cdot 10^6 m$

which means that at that point, the kinetic energy is zero: (the probe speed has become zero):

$K_f = 0$

At that point, the gravitational potential energy is

$U_f=-G\frac{mM}{r}=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(10 kg)(5.3\cdot 10^{23}kg)}{8.0\cdot 10^6 m}=-4.4\cdot 10^7 J$

So now we can use eq.(1) to find the initial kinetic energy:

$K_i = K_f + U_f - U_i = 0+(-4.4\cdot 10^7 J)-(-1.07\cdot 10^8 J)=6.3\cdot 10^7 J$

"a 10 kg rock is pushed off the edge of a bridge 50 meters above the ground. what was the kinetic energy of the rock at the midw

valentinak56 [21]

Let's call h the initial height of the rock (h=50 m, the height of the bridge).

Initially, the rock has only gravitational potential energy, which is given by
$U_i=mgh$
where m=10 kg is the mass of the rock while g is the gravitational acceleration. So, the total mechanical energy of the rock at this point is
$E_i = U_i = mgh=(10 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(50 m)=4905 J$

At midway point of its fall, its height is $\frac{h}{2}$ , so its potential energy is
$U_f = mg \frac{h}{2} = (10 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(25 m)=2452.5 J$
But now the rock is also moving by speed v, so it also has kinetic energy:
$K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
So the total energy at the midway point of the fall is
$E_f = U_f + K_f$ (1)

The mechanical energy must be conserved, so $E_i = E_f$ , so we can rewrite (1) and solve it to find the kinetic energy of the rock at midway point of its fall:
$E_i = U_f + K_f$
$K_f = E_i - U_f = 4905 J - 2452.5 J=2452.5 J$
