Answer: The comet's average distance from the sun is 17.6AU

Explanation:

From Kepler's 3rd Law, P^2=a^3

Where P is period in years

and a is length of semi-major axis or the average distance of the comet to the sun.

Given the orbital period to be 74 years

74^2 =a^3

5476 = a^3

Cube root of 5476 =a

17.626 = a

Approximately a= 17.6 AU

A 40-W lightbulb is 1.7 m from a screen. What is the intensity of light incident on the screen? Assume that a lightbulb emits ra
Sonja [21]

Answer:

Intensity, I=1.101\ W/m^2

Explanation:

Power of the light bulb, P  = 40 W

Distance from screen, r = 1.7 m

Let I is the intensity of light incident on the screen. The power acting per unit area is called the intensity of the light. Its formula is given by :

I=\dfrac{P}{A}

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

I=\dfrac{40\ W}{4\pi (1.7\ m)^2}

I=1.101\ W/m^2

So, the intensity of light is 1.101\ W/m^2.

A person is trying to lift a crate that has a mass of 30 kg. The normal force of the floor is currently supplying 150N of force.
alexdok [17]

Here when an object is placed on the level floor then in that case there are two forces on the object

1). Weight of object downwards (mg)

2). Normal force due to floor which will counterbalance the weight (N)

so when no force is applied on the box at that time normal force is counter balanced by weight.

Now here it is given that A person tried to lift the box upwards

So now there are two forces on the box

1). Applied force of person

2). Normal force due to ground

So now these two forces will counter balance the weight of the crate

So we can write an equation for force balance like

F_g = F_n + F_a

given that

F_g = mg

here

m = 30 kg and

g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s^2

F_n = 150 N

now from above equation

30*10 = 150 + F_a

F_a = 300 - 150 = 150 N

So force applied by the person must be 150 N
