When the comet passes close to the sun, it has a visible tail. Typically, the comet is only visible for a matter of days while it may be invisible for years. Why does the comet spend so little time close to the sun?

If a simple machine reduces the strength of a force, what must be increased?

When a vertical beam of light passes through a transparent medium, the rate at which its intensity i decreases is proportional to i(t), where t represents the thickness of the medium (in feet). in clear seawater, the intensity 3 feet below the surface is 25% of the initial intensity i0 of the incident beam. what is the intensity of the beam "10" feet below the surface? (give your answer in terms of i0. round any constants or coefficients to five decimal places.)
