suppose that you look into a photometer's eyepiece and the fluorescent disks appear to be equal in intensity. If the distance between the photometer to lamp 1 is 400mm, the distance between the photometer to lamp 2 is 200 mm, and the intensity of lamp 2 is known to be 15 candelas, what is the intensity to lamp 1?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Use the Inverse square law, Intensity (I) of a light is inversely proportional to the square of the distance(d).

I=1/(d*d)

Let Intensity for lamp 1 is L1 distance be D1 so on, L2 D2 for Intensity for lamp 2 and its distance.

L1/L2=(D2*D2)/(D1*D1)

L1/15=(200*200)/(400*400)
L1=15*0.25
L1=3.75 candela

How far can a bike rider traveling at 5.2 m/s go in 15 seconds

Answers

If he's traveling at 5.2 m/s, then he covers
5.2 meters in the 1st second
5.2 meters in the 2nd second
5.2 meters in the 3rd second
5.2 meters in the 4th second
.
.
.
.
5.2 meters in the 14th second, and
5.2 meters in the 15th second.

He covers 5.2 meters 15 times in 15 seconds.
To find the total distance, you could write down 5.2 meters
15 times and add them all up.  Or you could use the newly-
discovered, labor-saving process called 'multiplication' to do
the same thing.  With multiplication, it can be done in one line:

        (5.2 m/s) x (15 sec)  =  78 meters .

In a motor, the combined effect of electric currents and magnetic forces turn electrical energy into which of the following? A. A battery

B. A generator

C. Mechanical energy

D. Electromagnetic energy

Answers

When you turn on a ceiling fan it turns the electrical energy that is running into the motor in the fan into motion. This motion is described as Mechanical energy. Therefore your answer would be C mechanical energy.

Generators need a source of energy to produce electricity. Which form of energy is a nonrenewable source of energy?hydro (water) energy

Five different forces act on an object. Is it possible for the net force on the object to be zero? Explain

Answers

No. If there are forces on an object, they need to have a counterforce, otherwise the object won't be zero. Since there are only 5 forces, the 5th force has no counterforce, resulting in movement or reforming the object.
Of course it is !

-- Whatever the resultant of four of the forces is, one more force
with the same magnitude in exactly the opposite direction makes
the overall net force zero.

-- Example: 
4 cheerleaders are in a tug-of-war against the captain of the football team.
The flag in the middle of the rope is stationary.
He's holding off all 4 of the skinny girls.
The net force on the flag is zero.

Which of these was Sir Isaac Newton not known for? invention of calculus invention of the microscope the Three Laws of Motion universal gravitation theory

Answers

The correct answer is option B. i.e.invention of the microscope. Galileo Galilei invented the microscope and showed its use. Sir Issac Newton invented some part of the calculus, Also invented Newton's Laws of motion and the universal gravitation theory.

The correct answer is B. Although it is unknown who invented the microscope, Sir Isaac newton developed calculus along with Gottfried Leibniz.   Sir Isaac Newton is also known for his three laws of motion. Newtons discoveries and theory set the stage for many other advancement in astronomy.
