Answer:

5 candela

Explanation:

Let the candle brightness be B

Let the distance be d

The candle brightness is inversely proportional to the distance

B α 1/d

B = k/d

If my candle has a brightness of 15 candela from a distance of 2 meter, then;

15 = k/2

k = 30

To get the brightness when the distance is 6m;

B = k/d

B = 30/6

B = 5 candela

Hence the brightness will be 5 candela

Given that average speed is distance traveled divided by time, determine the values of m and n when the time it takes a beam of

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

$5,2$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Speed of light $C=3.0×10^8 m/s.$

Generally the equation for Average Speed is mathematically given by

$V_{avg}=\frac{d}{t}$

Where

d=Distance between the Earth and the sun

$d=1.5*10^11m$

Therefore

$t=\frac{d}{V_{avg}}$

$t=\frac{1.5*10^11m}{3.0×10^8 m/s.}$

$t=5*10^2s$

Since m and n is given in the form of

$m*10^n$

Therefore

$m=5 & n=2$

$5,2$

Fluid pressure changes with depth are assumed to be linear. Which statement best explains why this does not hold true for atmosp

ankoles [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Pressure due to fluid is directly proportional to the depth of fluid, density of the fluid and the value of acceleration due to gravity.

P = h d g

Where, h is the depth, d be the density and g be the acceleration due to gravity.

If we talk about teh atmospheric pressure, the density of air goes on decreasing as we go up and up. o we cannot say that it is directly depends only on the depth of air, it also depends on the changing density of air.
