What is an inverse-square law in physics?
Q: What is an inverse-square law in physics?
A: An inverse-square law is a physical law that states that the farther away an object is from an effect, or a physical quantity causing an effect, the less change can be observed in the object.
Q: What are some examples of when an inverse-square law applies?
A: An inverse-square law applies to gravitation, electrostatics, light and other electromagnetic radiation, and acoustics.
Q: How does the distance of an object affect its radiation?
A: The farther away an object is, the higher its radiation.
Q: Who discovered 2849NgC and in what year?
A: Kepler discovered 2849NgC in the year 1.
Q: What formula did Kepler develop?
A: Kepler developed the formula p=1/d.
Q: What does the formula p=1/d represent?
A: The formula p=1/d represents the inverse-square law.
Q: How does the inverse-square law relate to the formula p=1/d?
A: The formula p=1/d represents the inverse-square law, as it shows that as the distance (d) from an object increases, the physical quantity causing an effect (p) decreases proportionally to the square of the distance.
