4 0

Answer: 33

Explanation:

12+3=15, so in 3 years time Ruto will be 15.

Because 15 is said to be 1/3 times his fathers present age (x), you can plug that into an equation.

15=1/3(x)

Then solve the equation.

(3)15=[1/3(x)]•3

45=x

His father is currently 45, so if you subtract 12 from that, you get 33.

Ruto’s father was 33 years old 12 years ago.

How much does the gravitational force of attraction change between two asteroids if the two asteroids drift three times closer t
Katen [24]

Answer:

Increase 9 times

Explanation:

We have Newton formula for attraction force between 2 objects with mass and a distance between them:

F_G = G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}

where G =6.67408 \times 10^{-11} m^3/kgs^2 is the gravitational constant. M_1, M_2 is the masses of the 2 objects. and R is the distance between them.

Since the force is inversely proportional to the distance squared, if it is reduced by 3 times, the gravitational force between them would increase by 3^2 = 9 times

Increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere decreases the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Decreases the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared light.

Explanation:

When a large amount of green-house gases are present in the atmosphere, the layer of these gases become opaque to infrared radiation and radiation from the sun get trapped into these gases molecules. These excited molecules radiate this energy into our own atmosphere and that why the temperature of Earth is rising due to the Green-House effect.

emmasim [6.3K]

The intensity on a screen 20 ft from the light will be 0.125-foot candles.

<h3>What is the distance?</h3>

Distance is a numerical representation of the length between two objects or locations.

The intensity I of light varies inversely as the square of the distance D from the source;

I∝(1/D²)

The ratio of the intensity of the two cases;

\rm \frac{I_1}{I_2} =(\frac{D_2}{D_1} )^2\\\\ \rm \frac{2}{I_2} =(\frac{20}{5} )^2\\\\ \frac{2}{I_2} =4^2 \\\\ I_2= \frac{2}{16} \\\\  I_2= 0.125 \ foot-candles

Hence, the intensity on a screen 20 ft from the light will be 0.125 foot-candles
