To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to intensity as a function of power and area.
Intensity is defined to be the power per unit area carried by a wave. Power is the rate at which energy is transferred by the wave. In equation form, intensity I is
The area of a sphere is given by
So replacing we have to
Since the question tells us to find the proportion when
So considering the two intensities we have to
The ratio between the two intensities would be
The power does not change therefore it remains constant, which allows summarizing the expression to
Re-arrange to find
Therefore the intensity at five times this distance from the source is
If these were the missing choices:
a)
Consumers fill out questionnaires concerning
their need for new products.
b)
Consumers vote for politicians who decide which
kind of research to support
c)
Consumers decide what to buy and what not to buy
d)
Consumers influence the decisions of private
foundations by deciding where to donate money.
My answer would be: c) <span>Consumers decide what to buy and what not to buy</span>
Every growth is based on the demand of the people. If a good or service is needed then its demand will increase. If a good or service is not needed then its demand will decrease until such time that said good or service will be eliminated.
Wouldn't everything fall?
