Answer:

I = 3.785 W/m²

Explanation:

given,

distance from the light, r = 1.45 m

Power of bulb = 100 W

The area is that of a sphere with a radius equal to the distance from the light bulb.

The formula for the area of a sphere of radius 1.45 meters is:

A = 4 π r²

A = 4 x π x 1.45²

A = 26.42 m²

Intensity of the light is equal to

$I = \dfrac{P}{A}$

$I = \dfrac{100}{26.42}$

I = 3.785 W/m²

Intensity of the light at 1.45 m is equal to I = 3.785 W/m²

5. Forces have

Verdich [7]

In physics, forces are interactions that are able to change the velocity of an object.

Force is a vector quantity, so it has a magnitude and a direction.

The SI units of the force is the Newton (N).

Whenever an unbalanced force is applied to an object, the object experiences an acceleration, according to Newton's second law of motion:

$F=ma$

where

F is the force

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

So, the acceleration of an object is proportional to the force applied:

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

In physics, arrows are used to represent vector quantities. Therefore, they are also used to represent forces.

In particular, when a vector quantity is represented by an arrowr:

- The length of the arrow is proportional to the magnitude of the vector quantity

- The direction of the arrow corresponds to the direction of the vector quantity

Therefore, if a force is represented through an arrow:

- The length of the arrow shows the strength (magnitude) of the force

- The direction of the arrow shows the direction of the force

As we said in part 5), the SI units of the force is the Newton (N).

We can rewrite the Newton in terms of fundamental units only. We can do it starting from the equation:

$F=ma$

where

F is the force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

- The mass is measured in kilograms (kg)

- The acceleration is measured in meters per second squared ( $m/s^2$ )

Therefore, 1 N corresponds to:

$[N]=[kg][\frac{m}{s^2}]=[kg\cdot m \cdot s^{-2}]$

Gravity is an attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass. See more explanations about gravity in part 4).

Mass is a scalar quantity; it gives us a measure of the "amount of matter" contained in an object.

The SI unit of the mass is the kilogram (kg).

Being a scalar, mass has no direction, but only a magnitude.

Moreover, the mass is an intrinsec property of an object: therefore, it does not depend on the location of the object. So, an object has always the same mass, either it is on Earth or on another planet.

On the other hand, the force of gravity on an object depends on its location, so it changes.

As we said in part 3), gravity is an attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass.

The magnitude of the force of gravity between two objects is given by the Universal Law of gravitation:

$F=\frac{Gm_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the objects

From the equation above, we observe that:

- all objects are attracted to one another with a gravitational force that is proportional to the mass of the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

And so:

a. When the mass of one or both objects increases, the gravitational force between the objects increases

b. When the distance between two objects increases, the attraction between the objects decreases

A mass attached to a 50.0 cm long string starts from rest and is rotated 40 times in one minute before reaching a final angular

ch4aika [34]

To solve this problem it is only necessary to apply the kinematic equations of angular motion description, for this purpose we know by definition that,

$\theta = \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2 +\omega_0 t + \theta_0$

Where,

$\theta =$ Angular Displacement

$\alpha =$ Angular Acceleration

$\omega_0 =$ Angular velocity

$\theta_0 =$ Initial angular displacement

For this case we have neither angular velocity nor initial angular displacement, then

$\theta = \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2$

Re-arrange for $\alpha,$

$\alpha = \frac{2\theta}{t^2}$

Replacing our values,

$\alpha = \frac{2(40rev*\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})}{60^2}$

$\alpha = 0.139rad/s$

Therefore the ANgular acceleration of the mass is $0.139rad/s^2$

An object with a charge of -3.2 uC and a mass of 1.0Ã—10^(-2) kg experiences an upward electric force, due to a uniform electric

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration is equal to 19.6m/s² and the acceleration is directed upwards though the magnitude of the charge has doubled. This is because the electric force is directed upwards and from newton's second law of motion the charge will have acceleration in the same direction as the electric force on the charge.

The detailed solution can be found in the attachment below.
