Fill in the blank. Consider the inverse square law: When light leaves a light bulb, it spreads out over more and more space as i

t goes. This makes the light thinner, with less and less light present the further from the light bulb we look. If we stand looking at a light bulb and see how bright it is, then move to be four times farther away from the light bulb, the light from the bulb will look ____________ less bright.

Answer:

Explanation:

Intensity of light is inversely proportional to distance from source

I ∝ 1 /r²  where I is intensity and r is distance from source . If I₁ and I₂ be intensity at distance r₁ and r₂ .

I₁ /I₂ = r₂² /r₁²

If r₂ = 4r₁ ( given )

I₁ / I₂ = (4r₁ )² / r₁²

= 16 r₁² / r₁²

I₁ / I₂ = 16

I₂ = I₁ / 16

So intensity will become 16 times less bright .

"16 times " is the answer .

Explain why objects moving in fluids must have special shapes ?
Alexus [3.1K]

Explanation:

Fluids exert both drag and lift forces on moving objects.  Drag is the frictional force opposing motion.  Lift is the force perpendicular to motion.

Some objects, like parachutes, are designed with large cross sectional areas to increase drag force.  Usually though, objects are designed to minimize drag force.  It's why cars, planes, and boats have sleek shapes.

Airplane wings have shapes called airfoils that generate lift.  It's what makes them fly.  The same shape is found in racecar spoilers.  These spoilers use lift force to push down on the rear tires, increasing traction.
