At what distance does a 100 Watt lightbulb deliver the same power per unit surface area as a 75 Watt lightbulb produces 10 m awa

y from the bulb? (Assume both have the same efficiency for converting electrical energy in the circuit into emitted electromagnetic energy.). Recall that Watts = Joules/second = power = energy per unit time. Assume that the power of the electromagnetic waves spreads uniformly in all directions (i.e. spreads out over the area of a sphere) and use the formula for the surface area of a sphere.

Answer:

At 11.5 m

Explanation:

The power per unit area corresponds to the intensity, which is given by

I=\frac{P}{4\pi r^2}

where

P is the power

4\pi r^2 is the area irradiated at a distance r from the source (it corresponds to the surface area of a sphere of radius r)

Here we want the intensity of the two light bulbs to be the same, so

I_1 = I_2\\\frac{P_1}{4 \pi r_1^2}=\frac{P_2}{4\pi r_2^2}

where we have

P1 = 100 W is the power of the first light bulb

P2 = 75 W is the power of the second light bulb

r2 = 10 m is the distance from the second light bulb

Solving for r1, we find

r_1 = r_2 \sqrt{\frac{P_1}{P_2}}= (10 m) \sqrt{\frac{100 W}{75 W}} = 11.5 m

3. Is the relationship between the gravitational force and the mass directly proportional or
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Directly Proportional

Explanation:

Gravitational force can be calculated with the equation F = g(m1 * m2)/ r^2

So if we increase mass, force will also increase because mass is in the numerator.
