The intensity of a light in a surface follows the inverse square law formula which can be mathematically expressed as,
                         I = k/d²
where I is intensity, d is distance, and k is the proportionality constant. For us to increase the intensity, we should lower the distance from the source to the surface.

A spaceship of frontal area 10 m2 moves through a large dust cloud with a speed of 1 x 106 m/s. The mass density of the dust is
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The decelerating force is 3\times 10^{- 11}\ N

Solution:

As per the question:

Frontal Area, A = 10\ m^{2}

Speed of the spaceship, v = 1\times 10^{6}\ m/s

Mass density of dust, \rho_{d} = 3\times 10^{- 18}\ kg/m^{3}

Now, to calculate the average decelerating force exerted by the particle:

Mass,\ m = \rho_{d}V                                (1)

Volume, V = A\times v\times t

Thus substituting the value of volume, V in eqn (1):

m = \rho_{d}(Avt)

where

A = Area

v = velocity

t = time

m = \rho_{d}(A\times v\times t)                  (2)

Momentum,\ p = \rho_{d}(Avt)v = \rho_{d}Av^{2}t

From Newton's second law of motion:

F = \frac{dp}{dt}

Thus differentiating w.r.t time 't':

F_{avg} = \frac{d}{dt}(\rho_{d}Av^{2}t) = \rho_{d}Av^{2}

where

F_{avg} = average decelerating force of the particle

Now, substituting suitable values in the above eqn:

F_{avg} = 3\times 10^{- 18}\times 10\times 1\times 10^{6} = 3\times 10^{- 11}\ N

A helicopter flies 250 km on a straight path in a direction 60° south of east. The east component of the helicopter’s displaceme
GaryK [48]

Given that,

Distance in south-west direction = 250 km

Projected angle to east = 60°

East component = ?

since,

cos ∅ = base/hypotenuse

base= hyp * cos ∅

East component = 250 * cos 60°

East component = 125 km

A resistor R1 is wired to a battery, then resistor R2 is added in series. Are (a) the potential difference across R1 and (b) the
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Earlier emf of cell applied on R₁ but now emf will be distributed among R₁ and R₂

Potential difference on R₁ will become less .

b ) Current is inversely proportional to resistance of the circuit. As resistance increases , current will be less . So current through R₁ will become less.

c )

When resistance is added in series , they are added up to obtain equivalent resistance . So equivalent resistance R₁₂ will be more than R₁ OR R₂.

A 0.305 kg book rests at an angle against one side of a bookshelf. The magnitude and direction of the total force exerted on the
tankabanditka [31]

Answer

given,

F_L= 1.52\ N

\theta_L= 31^0

mass of book = 0.305 Kg

so, from the diagram attached  below

F_L cos {\theta_L} + F_b sin {\theta_b} = m g

1.52 times cos {31^0} + F_b sin {\theta_b} = 0.305 \times 9.8

F_b sin {\theta_b} = 2.989 -1.303

F_b sin {\theta_b} = 1.686

computing horizontal component

F_b cos {\theta_b} = F_L sin {\theta_L}

cos {\theta_b} = \dfrac{F_L sin {\theta_L}}{F_b}

cos {\theta_b} = \dfrac{1.52 \times sin {31^0}}{1.686}

cos {\theta_b} = 0.464

θ = 62.35°
