Answer:

The nearest plant (A) receives 4 times more radiation from the farthest plant

Explanation:

The energy emitted by the star is distributed on the surface of a sphere, whereby intensity received is the power emitted between the area of ​​the sphere

                I = P / A

               P = I A

The area of ​​the sphere is

               A = 4π r²

Since the amount of radiation emitted by the star is constant, we can write this expression for the position of the two planets

               P = I₁ A₁ = I₂ A₂

               I₁ / I₂ = A₂ / A₁

 Suppose index 1 corresponds to the nearest planet,

            r2 = 2 r₁

            I₁ / I₂ = r₁² / r₂²

            I₁ / I₂ = r₁² / (2r₁)²

            I₁ / I₂ = ¼

           4 I₁ = I₂

The nearest plant (A) receives 4 times more radiation from the farthest plant

Adding heat to a liquid causes which of the following physical changes?
SashulF [63]

In almost every case in nature, adding heat to a liquid
causes the density of the liquid to decrease.  That is,
when the liquid gets warmer, it expands and occupies
more space.

The one big exception to this rule is water ! 

Starting with a block of ice at zero°C (32°F), as the ice melts,
becomes water at zero°C, and all the way to 4°C (about 39°F),
its density increases all the way.   That is, it shrinks and occupies
less
volume as it goes from ice at zero°C to water at 4°C.

This sounds like an interesting but insignificant quirk ... until
you realize that if water didn't do this, then life on Earth would
be impossible !

Which of the following experiments could be used to determine the inertial mass of a block? A. Place the block on a rough horizo
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

D, using a spring scale to exert a force on the block. Measure the acceleration of the block and the applied force

Explanation:

For this you would use the net force equation acceleration=net force * mass however you will want to isolate mass so it would be acceleration/ net force to get mass. Then process of elimination comes to play.

"Videos of hoverboard riders who were injured when they fell while operating their hoverboards at a low speeds "went viral" over
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

The answer is "No, Hoverboards are risky, and riders are in danger of falling".

Explanation:

It's also known as a self-balanced scooter, it handheld electrical devices traveling on two wheels are hoverboards. It dominated the industry around 2015 and since then has become more and more successful. A rider is balanced on a frame between these wheels, driven by battery-powered lithium-ion batteries.
