The difference is (80 dB - 40 dB) = 40 dB.

The sound is 40 dB louder outside.

Each 10 dB means 10 times more sound power.

40 dB louder means 10x10x10x10 times more sound power.

That's <em>10,000 times</em> more sound power outside than inside.

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

I disagree

Explanation:

I think the students claim is wrong because according to Newton's First Law an object that is in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Which makes the students claim wrong because a object doesn't require another force to keep it moving.

Answer:

Ai. Speed of the fragment with mass mA= 1.35 kg is 34.64 m/s

Aii. Speed of the fragment with mass mB = 0.270 kg is 77.46 m/s

B. 475.3 m

Explanation:

A. Determination of the speed of each fragment.

I. Determination of the speed of the fragment with mass mA = 1.35 kg

Mass of fragment (m₁) = 1.35 kg

Kinetic energy (KE) = 810 J

Velocity of fragment (u₁) =?

KE = ½m₁u₁²

810 = ½ × 1.35 × u₁²

810 = 0.675 × u₁²

Divide both side by 0.675

u₁² = 810 / 0.675

u₁² = 1200

Take the square root of both side.

u₁ = √1200

u₁ = 34.64 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the fragment with mass mA = 1.35 kg is 34.64 m/s

II. I. Determination of the speed of the fragment with mass mB = 0.270 kg

Mass of fragment (m₂) = 0.270 kg

Kinetic energy (KE) = 810 J

Velocity of fragment (u₂) =?

KE = ½m₂u₂²

810 = ½ × 0.270 × u₂²

810 = 0.135 × u₂²

Divide both side by 0.135

u₂² = 810 / 0.135

u₂² = 6000

Take the square root of both side.

u₂ = √6000

u₂ = 77.46 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the fragment with mass mB = 0.270 kg is 77.46 m/s

B. Determination of the distance between the points on the ground where they land.

We'll begin by calculating the time taken for the fragments to get to the ground. This can be obtained as follow:

Maximum height (h) = 90.0 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

90 = ½ × 10 × t²

90 = 5 × t²

Divide both side by 5

t² = 90/5

t² = 18

Take the square root of both side

t = √18

t = 4.24 s

Thus, it will take 4.24 s for each fragments to get to the ground.

Next, we shall determine the horizontal distance travelled by the fragment with mass mA = 1.35 kg. This is illustrated below:

Velocity of fragment (u₁) = 34.64 m/s

Time (t) = 4.24 s

Horizontal distance travelled by the fragment (s₁) =?

s₁ = u₁t

s₁ = 34.64 × 4.24

s₁ = 146.87 m

Next, we shall determine the horizontal distance travelled by the fragment with mass mB = 0.270 kg. This is illustrated below:

Velocity of fragment (u₂) = 77.46 m/s

Time (t) = 4.24 s

Horizontal distance travelled by the fragment (s₂) =?

s₂ = u₂t

s₂ = 77.46 × 4.24

s₂ = 328.43 m

Finally, we shall determine the distance between the points on the ground where they land.

Horizontal distance travelled by the 1st fragment (s₁) = 146.87 m

Horizontal distance travelled by the 2nd fragment (s₂) = 328.43 m

Distance apart (S) =?

S = s₁ + s₂

S = 146.87 + 328.43

S = 475.3 m

Therefore, the distance between the points on the ground where they land is 475.3 m

Julie drives 100 mi to Grandmother's house. On the way to Grandmother's, Julie drives half the distance at 30.0 mph and half the

salantis [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Distance to grandmother's house=100 mi

it is given that during return trip Julie spend equal time driving with speed 30 mph and 70 mph

Let Julie travel x mi with 30 mph and 100-x with 70 mph

$\frac{x}{30}=\frac{100-x}{70}$

x=30 mi

Therefore

Julie's Average speed on the way to Grandmother's house $=\frac{100}{\frac{50}{30}+\frac{50}{70}}$

=42 mph

On return trip

$=\frac{100}{2\frac{30}{30}}=50 mph$
