The howler monkey is the loudest land animal and, under some circumstances, can be heard up to a distance of 8.9 km. Assume the

Airida [17]

Answer:

$\frac{I}{I_0}=113.68$

Explanation:

P = Acoustic power = 63 µW

r = Distance to the sound source = 210 m

Acoustic power

$P=IA\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{P}{A}\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{63\times 10^{-6}}{4\times \pi \times 210^2}$

Threshold intensity = $I_0=1\times 10^{-12}\ W/m^2$

Ratio

$\frac{I}{I_0}=\frac{\frac{63\times 10^{-6}}{4\times \pi \times 210^2}}{1\times 10^{-12}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{I}{I_0}=113.68$

Ratio of the acoustic intensity produced by the juvenile howler to the reference intensity is 113.68

A swimming pool is 50 ft wide and 100 ft long and its bottom is an inclined plane, the shallow end having a depth of 4 ft and th

Nina [5.8K]

Explanation:

We define force as the product of mass and acceleration.

F = ma

It means that the object has zero net force when it is in rest state or it when it has no acceleration. However in the case of liquids. just like the above mentioned case, the water is at rest but it is still exerting a pressure on the walls of the swimming pool. That pressure exerted by the liquids in their rest state is known as hydro static force.

Given Data:

Width of the pool = w = 50 ft

length of the pool = l= 100 ft

Depth of the shallow end = h(s) = 4 ft

Depth of the deep end = h(d) = 10 ft.

weight density = ρg = 62.5 lb/ft

Solution:

a) Force on a shallow end:

$F = \frac{pgwh}{2} (2x_{1}+h)$

$F = \frac{(62.5)(50)(4)}{2}(2(0)+4)$

$F = 25000 lb$

b) Force on deep end:

$F = \frac{pgwh}{2} (2x_{1}+h)$

$F = \frac{(62.5)(50)(10)}{2} (2(0)+10)$

$F = 187500 lb$

c) Force on one of the sides:

As it is mentioned in the question that the bottom of the swimming pool is an inclined plane so sum of the forces on the rectangular part and triangular part will give us the force on one of the sides of the pool.

1) Force on the Rectangular part:

$F = \frac{pg(l.h)}{2}(2(x_{1} )+ h)$

$x_{1} = 0\\h_{s} = 4ft$

$F = \frac{(62.5)(100)(2)}{2}(2(0)+4)$

$F =25000lb$

2) Force on the triangular part:

$F = \frac{pg(l.h)}{6} (3x_{1} +2h)$

here

h = h(d) - h(s)

h = 10-4

h = 6ft

$x_{1} = 4ft\\$

$F = \frac{62.5 (100)(6)}{6} (3(4)+2(6))$

$F = 150000 lb$

now add both of these forces,

F = 25000lb + 150000lb

F = 175000lb

d) Force on the bottom:

$F = \frac{pgw\sqrt{l^{2} + ((h_{d}) - h(s)) } (h_{d}+h_{s}) }{2}$

$F = \frac{62.5(50)\sqrt{100^{2}(10-4) } (10+4) }{2}$

$F = 2187937.5 lb$

3. The smallest bird is the Cuban bee hummingbird, which has a mass of only

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

2.6 m

Explanation:

The work done by the bird is given by

$W=Fd$

where

F is the force exerted

d is the distance covered

In this problem, we know:

$W=8.8\cdot 10^{-4} J$ is the work

$F=3.4\cdot 10^{-4} N$ is the force

Solving the equation for d, we find the distance covered by the bird:

$d=\frac{W}{F}=\frac{8.8\cdot 10^{-4}}{3.4\cdot 10^{-4}}=2.6 m$

At a particular instant, an electron moves toward the east in a uniform magnetic field that is directed straight downward. the m

alexdok [17]

Answer:

towards the south

Explanation:

When the electron enters the region with magnetic field, it experiences a magnetic force perpendicular to both the directions of the electron's velocity and the magnetic field.

The direction of the force exerted on the electron can be found by using the right-hand rule:

- Index finger: direction of the velocity of the electron --> towards the east

- Middle finger: direction of the magnetic field --> downward

- Thumb: direction of the force on a positive particle --> towards the north

However, the electron is a negatively charged particle, so we must reverse the direction of the force: therefore, the force exerted on the electron is towards the south.
